Regulatory T cells and B cells: implication on autoimmune diseases.
The regulatory T (Treg) cells play an important role in the maintenance of homeostasis and the prevention of autoimmune diseases. Although most studies are focusing on the role of Treg cells in T cells and T cells-mediated diseases, these cells also directly affect B cells and other non-T cells. This manuscript updates the role of Treg cells on the B cells and B cell-mediated diseases. In addit...
متن کاملB Cells in Autoimmune Diseases
The role of B cells in autoimmune diseases involves different cellular functions, including the well-established secretion of autoantibodies, autoantigen presentation and ensuing reciprocal interactions with T cells, secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and the generation of ectopic germinal centers. Through these mechanisms B cells are involved both in autoimmune diseases that are traditionall...
متن کاملB Cells with Regulatory Function in Animal Models of Autoimmune and Non-Autoimmune Diseases
Although the identification of B cell subsets with negative regulatory functions and the definition of their mechanisms of action are recent events, the important negative regulatory roles of B cells in immune responses are now broadly recognized. There is an emerging appreciation for the pivotal role played by B cells in several areas of human diseases including autoimmune diseases and non-aut...
متن کاملImmune-Regulatory Mechanisms in Systemic Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases
Autoimmune diseases encompass a wide range of organ-specific and systemic disorders with a complex etiology. An intricate interplay of genetic, environmental, as well as immunological factors leads to the development of these debilitating diseases. In the absence of infections, regulatory processes inhibit immune responses towards antigen. Moreover , the immune system has multiple levels of neg...
متن کاملImmune-Regulatory Mechanisms in Systemic Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases
Systemic autoimmune and rheumatic diseases (SAIRDs) are thought to develop due to the failure of autoimmune regulation and tolerance. Current therapies, such as biologics, have improved the clinical results of SAIRDs; however, they are not curative treatments. Recently, new discoveries have been made in immune tolerance and inflammation, such as tolerogenic dendritic cells, regulatory T and B c...
