Abstract

Regulatory T (Treg) cells act to suppress activation of the immune system and thereby maintain immunological homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. The frequency and suppressing activity of Treg cells in general are high in different malignancies. We wanted to identify the role and regulation of CD4(+)  CD25(+)  FoxP3(+) Treg cells in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). We have included patients at diagnosis (n = 54), patients in clinical remission (n = 32) and normal healthy individuals (n = 35). These diagnosed patients demonstrated a lower number of CD4(+)  CD25(+) cells co-expressing a higher level of FoxP3, interleukin-10, transforming growth factor-β and CD152/CTLA-4 than the normal population. Treg cells from patients showed a higher suppressive capability on CD4(+)  CD25(-) responder T (Tresp) cells than normal. The frequency and immunosuppressive potential of CD4(+)  CD25(+)  FoxP3(+) Treg cells became high with the progression of malignancy in B-ALL. Relative distribution of Tresp and Treg cells was only ~5 : 1 in B-ALL but ~35 : 1 in normal healthy individuals, further confirming the elevated immunosuppression in patients. A co-culture study at these definite ex vivo ratios, indicated that Treg cells f...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
