The plasticity of regulatory T cell function.
Regulatory T cells (T(regs)) can suppress a wide variety of cell types, in diverse organ sites and inflammatory conditions. Whereas T(regs) possess multiple suppressive mechanisms, the number required for maximal function is unclear. Furthermore, whether any interrelationship or cross-regulatory mechanisms exist to orchestrate and control their utilization is unknown. In this study, we assessed...
متن کاملRegulatory T-Cell Plasticity
During the past 2 decades, human and animals studies have clearly documented the crucial role of inflammation in the development and complications of atherosclerosis. Both innate immunity and adaptive immunity are involved in this process. The first evidence that suggested a role of adaptive immunity in atherosclerosis was the widespread detection of the major histocompatibility class II in hum...

متن کاملUnravelling the molecular basis for regulatory T‐cell plasticity and loss of function in disease
Regulatory T cells (Treg) are critical for preventing autoimmunity and curtailing responses of conventional effector T cells (Tconv). The reprogramming of T-cell fate and function to generate Treg requires switching on and off of key gene regulatory networks, which may be initiated by a subtle shift in expression levels of specific genes. This can be achieved by intermediary regulatory processe...
متن کاملNotch1 signaling and regulatory T cell function.
Previous studies have shown that the Notch1 and TGF-beta signaling pathways are mutually re-enforcing. Given recent evidence that regulatory T cell (Treg) effector function is mediated by TGF-beta signaling, we investigated whether Notch1 signaling also participated in Treg effector function. Initial studies showed that Notch1 ligands, particularly Jagged1, are present on Tregs and that, indeed...
