Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of CD4(+) latency-associated peptide (LAP)(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a condition not previously explored in this context.
- - In the research involving 111 ACS patients and 117 control patients, findings showed that ACS patients had significantly lower levels and functionality of CD4(+)LAP(+) Tregs, indicating potential immune system dysfunction.
- - The researchers concluded that this novel Treg subset is defective in ACS patients, as evidenced by reduced expression of GARP and lower levels of TGF-β in their blood, while IL-10 levels remained similar between the two groups.
