Regulatory T Cell Pathway (Treg Pathway)
- Target
- Treg Pathway
- Molecular classification
- Signaling pathway, Immune pathway
01
Overview
The Regulatory T cell (Treg) pathway is a crucial mechanism for maintaining immune homeostasis and self-tolerance. It involves a specialized subset of CD4+ T cells characterized by the expression of FOXP3 and high levels of CD25. Tregs suppress excessive or inappropriate immune responses, preventing autoimmunity and controlling inflammation. They utilize multiple mechanisms, including cytokine secretion, cytokine deprivation, and inhibitory receptor signaling. Modulation of this pathway holds therapeutic potential in autoimmune diseases, cancer immunotherapy, and transplantation tolerance.
