Natural and Induced T Regulatory Cells in Cancer

Abstract: CD4+Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells control many facets of immune responses ranging from autoimmune diseases, to inflammatory conditions, and cancer in an attempt to maintain immune homeostasis. Natural Treg (nTreg) cells develop in the thymus and constitute a critical arm of active mechanisms of peripheral tolerance particularly to self antigens. A growing body of knowledge now supports the existence of induced Treg (iTreg) cells which may derive from a population of conventional CD4+ T cells. The fork-head … Show more

“…To establish a direct link between the MDSC and Treg in CHI, we co‐cultured sorted MDSC with autologous MDSC‐depleted PBMC from study subjects and demonstrated significant increase in iTreg and Tr1 but not Th3‐cells, in IT and EP‐/EN‐CHB patients while similar phenomenon was not witnessed in case of IC or HC. The conversion of peripheral naïve CD4 + CD25 − T‐cells to iTreg had been described in previous studies and we also noted a decline in CD4 + CD25 ‐ T cells with a parallel increase in CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + iTreg during MDSC‐PBMC co‐culture, implying that this FOXP3 + population would have been derived from the naïve T‐cells (Figure S3). However, we cannot rule out the possibility that selective expansion of a pre‐existing population of FOXP3 + Treg by MDSC could have also contributed to the increase in the Treg pool, as reported in lymphoma‐bearing mice .…”
