Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells are present among human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), especially in cancer patients. Such T lymphocytes are able not only to specifically recognize dendritic cells (DCs) that have been exposed to recombinant FOXP3 and regulatory T cells, but also to kill FOXP3+ malignant T cells. The

Expression and DNA methylation of TNF, IFNG and FOXP3 in colorectal cancer and their prognostic significance. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) progression is associated with suppression of host cell-mediated immunity and local immune escape mechanisms. Our aim was to assess the immune function in terms of expression of TNF, IFNG and FOXP3 in CRC. METHODS:

The role of FOXP3 in autoimmunity
FOXP3 controls the development and function of T regulatory cells (Tregs). Autoimmunity is linked to changes in FOXP3 activity that can occur at multiple levels and lead to Treg dysfunction. For example, changes in IL-2 signaling, FOXP3 transcription and/or post-translational modifications can all contribute to loss of self-tolerance.

FOXP3 and NFAT: Partners in Tolerance [PDF]
Regulatory T cells suppress autoimmune responses to self-antigens. Recent studies, including one in this issue of Cell (Wu et al., 2006), suggest that the ability of T cells to choose between launching a productive immune response, functional inactivation, or developing into regulatory T cells depends upon the interplay of the key transcriptional ...

Regulatory T cells in melanoma revisited by a computational clustering of FOXP3+ T cell subpopulations [PDF]
CD4+ T cells that express the transcription factor FOXP3 (FOXP3+ T cells) are commonly regarded as immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Treg). FOXP3+ T cells are reported to be increased in tumour-bearing patients or animals, and considered to suppress ...

Siah2 control of T-regulatory cells limits anti-tumor immunity. [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms underlying anti-tumor immunity is pivotal for improving immune-based cancer therapies. Here, we report that growth of BRAF-mutant melanoma cells is inhibited, up to complete rejection, in Siah2-/- mice.

IPEX as a Result of Mutations in FOXP3 [PDF]
Immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome is a rare disorder caused by mutations in theFOXP3gene that result in the defective development ofCD4+CD25+regulatory T cells which constitute an important T cell subset involved in immune homeostasis and protection against autoimmunity.

Supporting children with genetic syndromes in the classroom: the example of 22q deletion syndrome [PDF]
An increasing number of children are likely to have a known genetic cause for their special educational needs. One such genetic condition is 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS), a genetic syndrome associated with early speech and language difficulties ...
