CD4CD25 regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in maintaining immune tolerance. They are essential for the initiation and progression of autoimmune diseases affecting the nervous system. Recently, the correlation between Tregs and neurological autoimmune diseases, as well as their therapeutic potential, has become a central focus of research. Currently, various methods for or generation and expansion of CD4CD25 Tregs are under investigation; however, their application in cellular therapy is anticipated to face additional challenges. This article primarily delves into the development and function of CD4CD25 Tregs, the role of Tregs in neurological autoimmune disease pathology, basic methods for enhancing therapies, and recent advancements and challenges in cellular therapy for neurological autoimmune diseases.
CD4CD25调节性T细胞(Tregs)在维持免疫耐受中起关键作用。它们对于影响神经系统的自身免疫性疾病的发生和发展至关重要。最近,Tregs与神经自身免疫性疾病之间的相关性及其治疗潜力已成为研究的核心焦点。目前,各种用于CD4CD25 Tregs生成和扩增的方法正在研究中;然而,它们在细胞治疗中的应用预计将面临更多挑战。本文主要探讨CD4CD25 Tregs的发育和功能、Tregs在神经自身免疫性疾病病理学中的作用、增强治疗的基本方法以及神经自身免疫性疾病细胞治疗的最新进展和挑战。
