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

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.

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

Role of Epigenetic Modifications in The Aberrant Expression of The FOXP3 Gene in Endometriosis: A Case-Control Study [PDF]
Background: Various studies have reported aberrant function of the immune system in endometriosis. This highlyprevalent disease can initiate and progress by numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations that affect immune systemfunctions.

Downregulation of Ezh2 methyltransferase by FOXP3: New insight of FOXP3 into chromatin remodeling? [PDF]
Transcription factor FOXP3 (forkhead box P3) is found initially as a key regulator in regulatory T cells. Recently its expression has been demonstrated in some non-lymphoid normal and cancerous cells. Now FOXP3 has been proven to regulate cancer-related genes, especially suppressor genes in breast cancer.

Regulatory T cells and Foxp3 [PDF]
Summary: Regulatory T (Treg) cells play central role in regulation of immune responses to self‐antigens, allergens, and commensal microbiota as well as immune responses to infectious agents and tumors. Transcriptional factor Foxp3 serves as a lineage specification factor of Treg cells.

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.
