Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory lymphocytes and intestinal inflammation.
TL;DR: The main lymphocyte subsets controlling immune responsiveness in the gut and their mechanisms of control, which involve maintenance of intestinal barrier function and suppression of chronic inflammation are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Foxp3 + CD4 + CD25 + and IL-10-Secreting CD4 + CD25 + T Cells during Cure of Colitis
Holm H. Uhlig,Janine L. Coombes,Christian Mottet,Ana Izcue,Claire Thompson,Andrea Fanger,Andrea Tannapfel,Jason D. Fontenot,Fred Ramsdell,Fiona Powrie +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that although CD4+CD25+ T cells expressing Foxp3 are present within both lymphoid organs and the colon, subsets of IL-10-producing CD4/CD25/ T cells are present mainly within the intestinal lamina propria suggesting compartmentalization of the regulatory T cell response at effector sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulatory T cells suppress systemic and mucosal immune activation to control intestinal inflammation.
TL;DR: The major regulatory pathways, including transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β), interleukin‐10 (IL‐10), and cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte antigen‐4 (CTLA‐4), and their role in Treg‐mediated control of systemic and mucosal responses are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blockade of CTLA-4 on CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells abrogates their function in vivo.
Simon Read,Rebecca J. Greenwald,Ana Izcue,Nicholas J. Robinson,Didier A. Mandelbrot,Loise M. Francisco,Arlene H. Sharpe,Fiona Powrie +7 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence that CTLA-4 has a specific, nonredundant role in the function of normal TR is provided, as such a strategy will not only boost effector T cell responses, but might also break TR-mediated self-tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-23 Restrains Regulatory T Cell Activity to Drive T Cell-Dependent Colitis
Ana Izcue,Sophie Hue,Sofia Buonocore,Carolina V. Arancibia-Cárcamo,Philip P. Ahern,Yoichiro Iwakura,Kevin J. Maloy,Fiona Powrie +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that overriding immunosuppressive pathways is an important function of IL-23 in the intestine and could influence not only Th17 cell activity but also other types of immune responses.
