Regulatory T (T) cells require PTEN to block PI3K signaling while maintaining Foxp3 expression. In the absence of PTEN, T cells lose Foxp3 expression and their suppressive function, leading to a systemic increase in interferon-γ secretion, with consequent expansion of pathogenic T helper 1 and follicular B helper T cells and systemic autoimmunity.
调节性T(Treg)细胞需要PTEN来阻断PI3K信号传导,同时维持Foxp3的表达。在缺乏PTEN的情况下,T细胞失去Foxp3表达及其抑制功能,导致干扰素-γ分泌系统性增加,进而导致致病性辅助性T细胞1和滤泡辅助性T细胞扩增以及系统性自身免疫。
