Abstract (sommario):
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains the main complication associated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). GvHD is caused by allo-reactive donor T cells mounting an attack against specific target tissues. CD4+CD25HiFoxp3+ regulatory T cells have been shown to modulate GvHD in vitro and also in vivo animal models. More recently early stage clinical trials have described the successful use of Treg to reduce the incidence of GvHD following HSCT. The aim of this study was to investigate further the suppressive mechanisms by which Treg are able to modulate GvHD and assess the i

The germinal centre (GC) response is critical for generating highly effective humoral immune responses and immunological memory that forms the basis of successful immunisation. Control of the output of the GC response requires Follicular regulatory T (Tfr) cells, a subset of Foxp3+ Treg cells located within germinal centres. Tfr cells were first characterised in detail in 2011 and because of this relatively little is known about the exact role of Tfr cells within the GC, and the mechanism/s through which they exert their suppressive function.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have shown considerable potential in the treatment of murine models of immuno-pathology. Whilst poly-clonal Tregs are able to suppress immuno-pathology in a number of models, the superiority of Ag-specific Treg treatment has been demonstrated using Tregs from T cell receptor (TCR)- transgenic animals. Translation of these promising results to the clinic has been hampered by difficulties in isolating or enriching the rare Ag-specific Tregs from the polyclonal population.

Abstract (sommario):
Immunological tolerance, that is, the failure to mount an immune response to an otherwise immunogenic molecule, is one of the fundamental questions in immunology. The fact that lymphocytes express antigen receptors that are generated randomly and have the potential to recognize any conceivable antigen, adds another puzzle to the physiology of immunological tolerance. The other side of the coin, the general absence of immune responses to self antigens, is ensured by a tight regulation and several selection steps during T and B cell differentiation.

T regulatory cells (Tregs) have been extensively studied in patients with cancer or autoimmunity. These cells hamper the immune system’s ability to clear tumor cells in cancer patients. In autoimmune diseases, on the other hand, they are not able to restrain autoreactive immune responses. If we manage to understand Tregs and their role in health and diseases we may be able to develop better immunomodulatory therapies. Early studies demonstrated that tolerance was maintained by a subset of CD25+ T-cells. CD25 was the earliest marker for Tregs and is still often used to define these cells. Sever

Abstract (sommario):
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory immune disease affecting the joints. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are abundantly present in the inflamed joints of patients with RA, but inflammation still persists. The notion that Tregs are terminally differentiated suppressor cells has recently been disputed by studies showing that Tregs can display a significant degree of plasticity and even convert into IL-17-producing cells under inflammatory conditions. Therefore, the overall hypothesis of this thesis was that the pro-inflammatory environment impairs Treg function in RA by conv

Abstract (sommario):
Immunosuppressive drugs have facilitated the progression of solid organ transplantation from experimental therapy to routine practice, however transplant recipients are still susceptible to chronic rejection and co-morbidities. The emergence of regulatory T cells (Treg) as a key regulator of the immune system, together with an abundance of evidence from experimental transplant models, has led to clinical trials asking whether Treg can improve transplant outcomes. However, given that Treg cellular therapy will only be acceptable if introduced into current immunosuppressive regimens, a critical

Abstract (sommario):
During the course of an immune response, CD4+ T helper cells differentiate into a number of subsets including: T helper 1 (TH1), TH2, TH17, and T follicular helper (TFH) populations. The functional diversity of CD4+ T effector cells results in a coordinated, pathogen-specific immune response. For example, the production of IFNγ by TH1 cells is vital for the clearance of intracellular pathogens, while TFH cell engagement with cognate B cells is required for germinal center (GC) formation and the generation of pathogen- and vaccine- induced antibody production. The development of CD4+ subsets

Abstract (sommario):
Human Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a critical role in the immune homeostasis. Hence, understanding Treg cell physiology is of vital importance. Various soluble factors, including IL-10 and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), contribute to the transplacental immune programming by shaping the fetal immune system, specifically Treg cells. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide further evidence for the Treg cell transplacental programming, and to explain how SCFAs contribute to this process. We demonstrated that the absence of maternal gut microbiota caused significantly reduced fetal thymus size a
