Inhibition of CD4+25+ T regulatory cell function implicated in enhanced immune response by low-dose cyclophosphamide

TLDR
This is the first report demonstrating that CY, in addition to decreasing cell number, inhibits the suppressive capability of T(REGs), and the relevance of the loss of suppressor functionality and the changes in gene expression are discussed.

Regulatory T cells, tumour immunity and immunotherapy

TL;DR: The nature and characteristics of regulatory T cells in the tumour microenvironment and their potential multiple suppressive mechanisms are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunological aspects of cancer chemotherapy.

TL;DR: It is proposed that future successes in the fight against cancer will rely on the development and clinical application of combined chemo- and immunotherapies.

Metronomic cyclophosphamide regimen selectively depletes CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and restores T and NK effector functions in end stage cancer patients

TL;DR: Oral administration of metronomic cyclophosphamide in advanced cancer patients induces a profound and selective reduction of circulating regulatory T cells, associated with a suppression of their inhibitory functions on conventional T cells and NK cells leading to a restoration of peripheral T cell proliferation and innate killing activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells correlate with clinical cancer stage, metastatic tumor burden, and doxorubicin–cyclophosphamide chemotherapy

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that circulating MDSC levels correlate with clinical cancer stage, CTX-based chemotherapy, and metastatic tumor burden found that this information must be incorporated into the design of future trials exploring immune-based therapeutic strategies.

Control of Regulatory T Cell Development by the Transcription Factor Foxp3

TL;DR: Foxp3, which encodes a transcription factor that is genetically defective in an autoimmune and inflammatory syndrome in humans and mice, is specifically expressed in naturally arising CD4+ regulatory T cells and retroviral gene transfer of Foxp3 converts naïve T cells toward a regulatory T cell phenotype similar to that of naturally occurring CD4+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foxp3 programs the development and function of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells

TL;DR: It is reported that the forkhead transcription factor Foxp3 is specifically expressed in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and is required for their development and function and ectopic expression ofFoxp3 confers suppressor function on peripheral CD4-CD25− T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunologic self-tolerance maintained by activated T cells expressing IL-2 receptor alpha-chains (CD25). Breakdown of a single mechanism of self-tolerance causes various autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: The authors showed that CD4+CD25+ cells contribute to maintaining self-tolerance by downregulating immune response to self and non-self Ags in an Ag-nonspecific manner, presumably at the T cell activation stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

An essential role for Scurfin in CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that Foxp3 is highly expressed by TR cells and is associated with TR cell activity and phenotype, indicating that the Scurfin and CTLA-4 pathways may intersect and providing further insight into the TR cell lineage.

CD4+CD25+ Immunoregulatory T Cells Suppress Polyclonal T Cell Activation In Vitro by Inhibiting Interleukin 2 Production

TL;DR: Data support the concept that the CD4+CD25+ T cells in normal mice may represent a distinct lineage of “professional” suppressor cells.
