Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a specialized subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that enforce peripheral immune tolerance. Treg cells act to suppress exuberant immune responses, limit inflammation, and promote tissue repair, thereby maintaining homeostasis and tolerance to self‐antigens and those of the commensal microbial flora. Treg cells are characterized by the expression of the master regulator Foxp3,...
Peripheral immunological tolerance is mainly maintained by regulatory T (Treg) cells, a specific CD4 T cells subset that expresses the transcription factor Foxp3. Treg cells are crucial to control autoimmunity and inflammation and to limit tissue destruction arising from inflammatory responses. Loss of functions mutations in FOXP3 in humans induces a fatal autoimmune lymphoproliferative disorder,...
Background
The mechanisms by which genetic and environmental factors interact to promote asthma remain unclear. Both the IL‐4 receptor alpha chain R576 (IL‐4RαR576) variant and Notch4 license asthmatic lung inflammation by allergens and ambient pollutant particles by subverting lung regulatory T (Treg) cells in an IL‐6‐dependent manner.
Objective
We examined the interaction between IL‐4RαR576 and...
