Regulatory T cells in health and disease

Cytokine
Ciriaco A Piccirillo

Abstract

Regulatory T (Treg) cells have emerged as a central control point in the modulation of various immune responses, including autoimmune responses and immunity to transplants, allergens, tumors, and infectious microbes. The immune system has evolved complex processes to ensure tolerance to autoantigens while preserving the potential to mount and maintain life-long humoral and cellular immune responses against invading pathogens. In this review, we summarize research showing that naturally occurring (nTreg) and induced Treg (iTreg) cell subsets, and in particular CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells, are critical in the control of immune responses in rodents and humans. We also discuss the cellular and molecular factors that affect CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cell development, homeostasis, and function and consequential immunity to self and non-self antigens. Recent studies have shed light in our understanding of the development of novel methods of autoimmune disease prevention and treatment via enhancing and re-establishing Treg-mediated dominant control over self-reactive T cells in animal models and humans.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

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.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
