Regulatory T cell function in autoimmune disease

Abstract: Autoimmune diseases are characterized by a failure of tolerance to own body components resulting in tissue damage. Regulatory T cells are gatekeepers of tolerance. This review focusses on the function and pathophysiology of regulatory T cells in the context of autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid and juvenile idiopathic arthritis as well as systemic lupus erythematosus with an overview over current and future therapeutic options to boost Treg function.

“…Other studies have shown a similar increase of Foxp3+ Tregs numbers in CeD, but found that the suppressive action of Tregs is reduced by local production of IL-15 4244 . Increased numbers of Tregs are found in several inflammatory conditions in humans 45, 46 . However, their role in such conditions is still not clear.…”

“…IL-2/STAT5 has an important role in the differentiation and homeostasis of Treg and CD8 + T cells that are the key effector cells of tumor immunity (B. J. Chen et al 2022;Frantz et al 2022;Kolios et al 2021;Rajendeeran and Tenbrock 2021). IL-2 promotes CD8 + T cell recognition and clearance of malignant cells for cancer immunotherapy in the early tumor stage, but sustained high levels of IL-2 in the tumor microenvironment induce CD8 + T cell depletion and dysfunction of T cells thus suppressing anti-tumor immunity (Y.…”

“…An imbalance in the homeostasis of the immune system often leads to diseases 34 . A low number or weakened function of Tregs may lead to an overreaction of the immune system and therefore causes autoimmune diseases, such as immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X‐linked syndrome (IPEX) 35‐37 . However, the excessive number or abnormal activation of Tregs can inhibit the immune response, and when this occurs to the tumor, the anti‐tumor immunity is impaired 38,39 .…”

“…34 A low number or weakened function of Tregs may lead to an overreaction of the immune system and therefore causes autoimmune diseases, such as immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked syndrome (IPEX). [35][36][37] However, the excessive number or abnormal activation of Tregs can inhibit the immune response, and when this occurs to the tumor, the anti-tumor immunity is impaired. 38,39 If the ratio of Teff/Treg cells is high, the over-activation of Teff cells or over-reduction of Treg cells will result in autoimmune disorders.…”
