SOCS1 and Regulation of Regulatory T Cells Plasticity

Abstract excerpt

Several reports have suggested that natural regulatory T cells (Tregs) lose Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) expression and suppression activity under certain inflammatory conditions. Treg plasticity has been studied because it may be associated with the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Some studies showed that a minor uncommitted Foxp3(+) T cell population, which lacks hypomethylation at Treg-specific demethylation regions...
