Cyclooxygenase-2-overexpressing Glioma Response by T Regulatory Type 1 + Induction of a Cd4

Induction of a CD4+ T regulatory type 1 response by cyclooxygenase-2-overexpressing glioma.

PGE(2), synthesized by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-overexpressing tumor, is known to contribute to cellular immune suppression in cancer patients, but the mechanism remains unclear. We report the mechanism of a CD4(+) T regulatory type 1 (Tr1) induction by CD11c(+) mature dendritic cells (DCs) that phagocytose allogeneic and autologous COX-2-overexpressing glioma. A human glioma cell line, U-87MG,...

Induction of T Regulatory Subsets from Naïve CD4+ T Cells after Exposure to Breast Cancer Adipose Derived Stem Cells

Background: Adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) provoke the accumulation and expansion of regulatory T cells, leading to the modulation of immune responses in tumor microenvironment. Objective: To assess the effect of tumoral ASCs on the trend of regulatory T cells differentiation. Methods: Peripheral blood naïve CD4+ T cells were co-cultured with ASCs derived from breast cancer or normal breast ...

Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation

Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...

Altered Suppressor Function of Regulatory T Cells in Type 1 Diabetes

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a T cell mediated autoimmune disease targeting the insulin-producing β cells within pancreatic islets. Autoimmune diseases may develop as a consequence of altered balance between regulatory (Tregs) and autoreactive T cells. Objectives: To evaluate Treg cells frequency and suppressive function in the peripheral blood of newly diagnosed T1D patients in compari...
