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 ...

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.

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 ...

Plasmodium yoelii infection of BALB/c mice results in expansion rather than induction of CD4+ Foxp3+ regulatory T cells [PDF]
Recently, we demonstrated elevated numbers of CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells in Plasmodium yoelii‐infected mice contributing to the regulation of anti‐malarial immune response. However, it remains unclear whether this increase in Treg cells is

FOXP3 interacts with hnRNPF to modulate pre-mRNA alternative splicing [PDF]
FOXP3 promotes the development and function of regulatory T cells mainly through regulating the transcription of target genes. RNA alternative splicing has been implicated in a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Searching for the Achilles Heel of FOXP3 [PDF]
FOXP3 is a multifaceted transcription factor with a major role in the control of immune homeostasis mediated by T regulatory cells (Treg). The immunoregulatory function of FOXP3 may hinder the induction of immune responses against cancer and infectious agents, and thus, development of inhibitors of its functions might give new therapeutic opportunities

CD3+CD4+LAP+Foxp3-regulatory cells of the colonic lamina propria limit disease extension in ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Background and Aims: In ulcerative colitis (UC), inflammation begins in the rectum and can extend proximally throughout the entire colon. The extension of inflammation is an important determinant of disease course, and may be limited by the action of ...
