CD4+CD25high T cell numbers are enriched in the peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Accumulating evidences support that CD4 + CD25 high T regulatory (Treg) cells play an essential role in controlling and preventing autoimmunity. Paradoxically, RA patients have elevated numbers of circulating CD4 + CD25 high T cells, however, the inflammation is still ongoing. Further identification of these CD4 + CD25 high T cells may contribute to a better understanding of underlying mechanisms. We show here that these CD4 + CD25 high T cells were composed of CD4 + CD25 high FoxP3 + Treg cells and activated … Show more

“…This hypothesis seems to be further supported by investigations of the correlation between the percentage of Treg cells in PB and disease duration, which have confirmed higher numbers of circulating Treg cells in patients with long-standing disease [35,39]. Moreover, in established disease, where proinflammatory cytokines, including TNFα, are present at high levels in PB and target organs, FoxP3 expression within the CD4 + CD25 + cell population seems to be reduced, giving rise to the hypothesis that proinflammatory molecules play a role in inducing an abnormal Treg cell phenotype [37,40].…”

“…47 Autoimmun Since phenotypic characterization does not allow a definite conclusion as to whether expanded CD4 + CD25 high T cells in the SF are actually Treg, the most convincing evidence is undoubtedly provided by in vitro functional studies. Suppressive activity of CD4 + CD25 high T cells in the SF has been confirmed in some studies by coculture with autologous effector T cells [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. In contrast, some authors have demonstrated a reduced suppressive activity of Treg cells in PB from RA patients, that can be restored by adequate pharmacological therapy, as discussed in detail below (see Table 2).…”

“…Поэтому предполагают, что патогенез РА может быть связан с нарушением им-мунной регуляции, опосредованным недостаточностью Тreg-клеток. Данные литературы о содержании этих кле-ток в периферической крови больных РА неоднозначны [5][6][7][8][9]. Данные, полученные в результате нашего исследо-вания, показали, что в периферической крови пациентов с РА увеличено число клеток с фенотипами CD4 + CD25 hi , CD4 + CD25 hi CD127 low/-, CD4 + FOXP3 + .…”

“…[13] сооб-щают, что не все CD4 + CD25 hi и CD4 + CD25 + CD127 low/-Т-клетки, выделенные из крови больных РА, могут об-ладать супрессорными свойствами: экспрессия FOXP3 наблюдается при стимуляции и активации некоторых популяций эффекторных лимфоцитов, которые не от-носятся к Treg-клеткам [1,14] они могут включать в себя значительную долю активи-рованных CD4 + Т-клеток. Повышенный уровень клеток с такими фенотипами у больных РА наблюдали и другие авторы [5,11]. При этом увеличение Тreg-клеток было отмечено не только на периферии, но и в синовиальной жидкости пораженных суставов [5,9].…”
