Regulatory T cells and tolerogenic dendritic cells: from basic biology to clinical applications

Rutella, Sergio, Lemoli, Roberto M·2004·Immunology Letters

Abstract

The induction of antigen (Ag)-specific tolerance is critical for the prevention of autoimmunity and maintenance of immune homeostasis. Recently, attention has been focused on induction of active suppression by regulatory T cells (Treg cells). Also, a role for dendritic cells (DCs) in the promotion of peripheral tolerance has been demonstrated by several studies and is the subject of intensive investigation. It is currently believed that the maturation/activation state of DCs might be a control point for the induction of peripheral tolerance through modifications of the activation state of T cells. Several lines of experimental evidence suggest that unique DC subsets or discrete functional states of the DCs might be devoted to the promotion of Treg cell differentiation. The present review summarizes the emerging literature on the developmental origin and function of human Treg cells and tolerogenic/regulatory DCs. Furthermore, clinical implications of these studies for cellular therapy of immune-mediated pathologies are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Glucocorticoids can convert dendritic cells to tolerogenic cells that promote regulatory T cell production, and this effect relies on glucocorticoid-mediated expression of GILZ.

    “GCs can also convert DCs to tolerogenic cells, which promote the production of regulatory T cells (38, 39). This immunosuppressive effect critically relies on the GC-mediated expression of glucocorticoid-induce leucine zipper (GILZ), since this transcription factor appears as both necessary and sufficient for the induction of a tolerogenic state (40, 41).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
