摘 要:摘 要:CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ 调节性T 细胞(Treg) 负责维持体内免疫稳态和免疫耐受,转录因子FOXP3 对于其发育分化及生理功能至关重要。 FOXP3 功能在转录、翻译和翻译后修饰等多个层次被精细调控。Treg在肿瘤微环境中聚集而介导肿瘤的免疫逃逸,减少微环境中的Treg 细胞数量并降低其活性,有助于促进机体的抗肿瘤免疫反应。深入研究不同组织及不同炎症微环境下Treg 功能调节机制及其细胞特异性表面标志物,将为肿瘤免疫治疗提供新思路和新策略。
Abstract: Abstract: Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a key role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis and tolerance and the transcription factor FOXP3 is essential for its development and differentiation. The function of FOXP3 is delicately regulated at multiply levels, including transcriptional, translational and post-translational modification. Regulatory T cells accumulate in tumor microenvironment and play a role in promoting tumor escape. The antitumor response could be greatly improved by elimination and activity inhibition of Tregs at the tumor microenvironment. Understanding the mechanism of functional regulation and identifying special markers of Tregs will stimulate new ideas and directions for anti-tumor immunotherapy.
