Tregs have the potential to be utilized as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of various chronic diseases, including diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis. One of the challenges associated with developing a therapeutic product based on Tregs is the non-selectivity of polyclonal cells. A potential solution to this issue is a generation of antigen-specific CAR-Tregs. Other challenges associated with developing a therapeutic product based on Tregs include the phenotypic instability of these cells in an inflammatory microenvironment, discrepancies between engineered Treg-like cells and natural Tregs, and the expression of dysfunctional isoforms of Treg marker genes. This review presents a summary of proposed strategies for addressing these challenges.
调节性 T 细胞(Tregs)有可能成为治疗各种慢性疾病(如糖尿病、阿尔茨海默病、哮喘和类风湿关节炎)的新型治疗药物。基于 Tregs 开发治疗产品面临的挑战之一是多克隆细胞的非选择性。解决这一问题的一种潜在方法是生成抗原特异性嵌合抗原受体 T 调节细胞(CAR-Tregs)。基于 Tregs 开发治疗产品面临的其他挑战包括这些细胞在炎症微环境中的表型不稳定性、工程化 Treg 样细胞与天然 Tregs 之间的差异,以及 Treg 标记基因功能失调亚型的表达。本综述总结了针对这些挑战的建议策略。
