Regulatory T Cells in Colorectal Cancer
One of the essential protection mechanisms of immune system is Treg cells which play an important role in maintenance ofimmune homeostasis. However, they may also inhibit immune functions against tumor cells. It has been reported that Treg cellsare increased in patients suffering from different types of cancer. Increased number of Treg cells has been shown in tumor lymphnodes, peripheral blood,...
متن کاملRegulatory T cells (Tregs) monitoring in environmental diseases.
The prevalence of environmental diseases is increasing worldwide and these diseases are an onerous burden both to the individual and to the public health. Urban air pollution is a grave problem in majority of metropolises, which contain high levels of traffic congestion generating great amounts of genotoxic substances. The contribution of such environmental exposure to increase prevalence of ma...
متن کاملHomeostasis and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in vivo: lessons from TCR-transgenic Tregs
The identification of CD25 and subsequently Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) as markers for regulatory T cells (Tregs) has revolutionized our ability to explore this population experimentally. In a similar vein, our understanding of antigen-specific Treg responses in vivo owes much to the fortuitous generation of T-cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic Tregs. This has permitted tracking of Tregs with a ...
متن کاملHAART restores the frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs) among HIV/AIDS patients
Results Our study showed that healthy controls had a Tregs frequency of 4.1%. When Tregs frequency analyzed among HIV/AIDS patients who are yet to receive HAART we found a significant reduction in Tregs population i.e. 1.2%. Encouragingly this deep plunge in Tregs population was found to be restored and surged upon HAART up to 12.6%. However, these changes in percentages did not alter based on ...
متن کاملMucosal Regulatory T Cells and T Helper 17 Cells in HIV-Associated Immune Activation
Residual mucosal inflammation along with chronic systemic immune activation is an important feature in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and has been linked to a wide range of co-morbidities, including malignancy, opportunistic infections, immunopathology, and cardiovascular complications. Although combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) can reduce plasma viral loads ...
