Expression of Foxp3 in colorectal cancer but not in Treg cells correlates with disease progression in patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]
Background: Regulatory T cells (Treg) expressing the transcription factor forkhead-box protein P3 (Foxp3) have been identified to counteract anti-tumor immune responses during tumor progression. Besides, Foxp3 presentation by cancer cells itself may also

Immunomodulatory Effect of Propolis on Foxp3 Gene Expression in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Stimulated in vitro with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Ag [PDF]
Immune balance during infection is critical for both supporting the defense of the immune system of the body and preventing an overly aggressive immune response.

Upregulation of Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 and Forkhead Box P3 Transcripts in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Bladder Cancer [PDF]
Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in the progression of tumors. These cells express forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4), which are the potential targets for cancer immunotherapy.

Characterization of human epithelial resident memory regulatory T cells
Human resident memory regulatory T cells (Tregs) exist in the normal, noninflamed skin. Except one, all previous studies analyzed skin Tregs using full-thickness human skin.

Foxp3: Shades of Tolerance [PDF]
In this issue of Immunity, Darce et al. (2012) and Bettini et al. (2012) demonstrate that seemingly subtle alterations in the interaction of Foxp3 with its transcriptional partners have a ripple effect on the outcome of autoimmune phenotypes, worsening some while ameliorating others.

Promiscuous Foxp3‐cre activity reveals a differential requirement for CD28 in Foxp3+ and Foxp3− T cells [PDF]
Costimulatory signals by CD28 are critical for thymic regulatory T‐cell (Treg) development. To determine the functional relevance of CD28 for peripheral Treg post thymic selection, we crossed the widely used Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3)‐CreYFP mice to mice bearing a conditional Cd28 allele.

FOXP3 expression in FOXP3+ tumor cells promotes hepatocellular cells metastasis [PDF]
Forkhead transcription factor 3 (FOXP3) is a key molecule for the development of regulatory T cell. Recent studies showed that FOXP3 was also expressed in tumor cells. This study is designed to identify the expression of FOXP3 and its pathogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Through immunohistochemistry, RNA extraction and Real-Time Quantitative ...

The adaptability of regulatory T cells and Foxp3 [PDF]
Abstract Regulatory T (Treg) cells that express the lineage-defining transcription factor Foxp3 play a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining immune and tissue homeostasis. Foxp3 serves as a highly connected ‘hub’, interacting with numerous genomic sites and partner proteins, in the molecular network that orchestrates multiple ...

Autoimmune diseases are caused when immune cells act against self-protein. This biological self–non-self-discrimination phenomenon is controlled by a distinct group of lymphocytes known as regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are key inflammatory response ...
