Regulatory T cell differentiation pathway

Molecular classification
Other (Pathway), Transcription factor, Signal transduction, Cytokine signaling
01

Overview

The "Regulatory T cell differentiation pathway" describes the molecular and cellular events that drive the development of regulatory T cells (Treg) from precursors, predominantly naïve CD4+ T cells. This pathway integrates signals from the T cell receptor (TCR), cytokines such as TGF-β and IL-2, and key transcription factors including Foxp3, Runx1, and NFAT. It involves both thymic (natural) and peripheral (induced) pathways. Tregs are essential for restraining immune responses, maintaining self-tolerance, and suppressing inflammation. Dysregulation of this pathway contributes to immune-mediated diseases, cancer, chronic infection, and inflammatory conditions
