Regulatory T cells, especially CD4+CD25+ T cells, "natural killer" T cells and gammadelta T cells, are central in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and the protection from the development of autoimmune diseases. Numerical or functional modifications of these cell populations were demonstrated to lead to the breakdown of tolerance and the emergence of autoimmunity. Involvement of regulatory T cells in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, might be of first importance. In murine models and patients with lupus, these regulatory T cells seem to be reduced in number. Functional deficiencies have also been described in a few studies. A better knowledge of regulatory T cell functional properties in systemic autoimmune diseases is essential to manipulate these cells and hopefully to restore immune tolerance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D050378 T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory CD4-positive T cells that inhibit immunopathology or autoimmune disease in vivo. They inhibit the immune response by influencing the activity of other cell types. Regulatory T-cells include naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ cells, IL-10 secreting Tr1 cells, and Th3 cells.
