Utilizing Regulatory T Cells Against Rheumatoid Arthritis
Regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for normal immune surveillance systems, and their dysfunction leads to development of diseases, such as autoimmune disorders. CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells are well-known suppressive cells, which express the transcription factor Foxp3, are indispensable for the maintenance of immune self-tolerance and homeostasis by suppressing aberrant or excessive immune res...
متن کاملRegulatory T cells in rheumatoid arthritis
Regulatory T cells have attracted substantial interest in connection with their role in controlling autoimmunity and the possibility that they could be used therapeutically. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the several subsets of regulatory T cells and defects in their function in rheumatoid arthritis. In evaluating the possibility of using regulatory T cells to treat rheumatoid ...
متن کاملRegulatory T cell defects in rheumatoid arthritis.
Regulatory T (Treg) cells have emerged as a distinct subset of lymphocytes that are responsible for limiting immune responses and avoiding pathologic autoimmunity. Evidence is accumulating that defects in Treg function are important in immune-mediated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We discuss herein the biology of Treg cells and emphasize what is known about Treg dysfunction in RA.
متن کاملT cells in rheumatoid arthritis
Over the past decade and a half, advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have translated directly into benefit for patients. Much of this benefit has arisen through the introduction of targeted biological therapies. At the same time, technological advances have made it possible to define, at the cellular and molecular level...
متن کاملRegulatory 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,...
