FOXP3 is a transcription factor necessary and sufficient for induction of the immunosuppressive functions in regulatory T lymphocytes. Its expression was first considered as specific of this cell type, but FOXP3 can also be transiently expressed in T-cell antigen receptor-activated human nonregulatory T cells.

FOXP3 and FOXP3-regulated microRNAs suppress SATB1 in breast cancer cells [PDF]
The transcription factor FOXP3 has been identified as a tumour suppressor in the breast and prostate epithelia, but little is known about its specific mechanism of action. We have identified a feed-forward regulatory loop in which FOXP3 suppresses the expression of the oncogene SATB1. In particular, we demonstrate that SATB1 is not only a direct target

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The role of regulatory T cells in autoimmune thyroiditis
Autoimmune thyroiditis is an organ-specific autoimmune disease caused by the activation of self-reactive CD4+ T cells. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a population of T cells that play a central role in immunological tolerance by suppressing selfreactive ...

Expression levels of MIF, NLRP1 and FOXP3 genes along with biomarker levels in patients with active form of non-segmental generalized vitiligo: A study in South Indian population [PDF]
Vitiligo, the most widespread hypopigmentary syndrome, is considered to be a multifactorial disease in which the active melanocytes are lost. Vitiligo has been studied in a variety of ways, and several genes have been implicated.

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.
