Regulatory 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 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 کاملUtilizing 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 کاملT Cell Migration in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation in joints, associated with synovial hyperplasia and with bone and cartilage destruction. Although the primacy of T cell-related events early in the disease continues to be debated, there is strong evidence that autoantigen recognition by specific T cells is crucial to the pathophysiology of rheumatoid synov...
متن کاملK-RAS GTPase- and B-RAF kinase-mediated T-cell tolerance defects in rheumatoid arthritis.
Autoantibodies to common autoantigens and neoantigens, such as IgG Fc and citrullinated peptides, are immunological hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We examined whether a failure in maintaining tolerance is mediated by defects in T-cell receptor activation threshold settings. RA T cells responded to stimulation with significantly higher ERK phosphorylation (P < 0.001). Gene expression ar...
