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 regulators FOXP3 and NFAT.
调节性T细胞可抑制针对自身抗原的自身免疫反应。包括本期《细胞》杂志上发表的一项研究(Wu等人,2006年)在内的近期研究表明,T细胞在启动有效的免疫反应、功能失活或发育为调节性T细胞之间进行选择的能力,取决于关键转录调节因子FOXP3和NFAT之间的相互作用。
