T lymphocytes are among the immunological cells that make up the tumor microenvironment (TME), and they are essential in the growth of tumors and anti-tumor reactions. Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are a subset of CD4+ T cells in the immune system that suppress the immune system. They are distinguished by their expression of the master transcription factor forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3).

Article Synopsis
  • Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
  • Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
  • Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis Enhances the Frequency and Function of Highly Suppressive FoxP3+ Treg Subsets in Heart Transplanted Individuals.

Transplantation

Article Synopsis
  • ECP is a promising treatment for managing acute rejection in heart transplant patients by modulating the immune system, particularly through the action of regulatory T cells (Treg).
  • The study involved 14 heart transplant participants undergoing ECP therapy, assessing the effects on Treg frequency and their suppressive functions over time, alongside a control group.
  • Results indicate that ECP significantly boosts the number and function of suppressive Tregs, particularly those marked by the transcription factor FoxP3, which helps control immune responses and prevent graft rejection.

Zinc dampens antitumor immunity by promoting Foxp3 regulatory T cells.

Front Immunol

September 2024

Centre for Immunobiology and Immunotherapy, Translational Health Science and Technology Institute, National Capital Region (NCR)-Biotech Science Cluster, Faridabad, Haryana, India.

Introduction: The role of zinc (Zn) in tumor development and immune modulation has always been paradoxical. This study redefines our understanding of the impact of Zn on cancer progression and therapeutic strategies.

Methods: We investigated the effects of dietary Zn levels on tumor progression and immune responses.

Vertebrate cell identity depends on the combined activity of scores of transcription factors (TF). While TFs have often been studied in isolation, a systematic perspective on their integration has been missing. Focusing on FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), key guardians of immune tolerance, we combined single-cell chromatin accessibility, machine learning, and high-density genetic variation, to resolve a validated framework of diverse Treg chromatin programs, each shaped by multi-TF inputs.
