摘要: Innate immune responses follow accumulation of modified lipids within the arterial wall thereby influencing atherosclerotic plaque progression. One mechanisms evolved in maintaining immunologic self-tolerance involves upregulation regulatory T-cells, among which CD4+CD25+ FoxP3+ T-cells (Treg) are best characterized. The putative important role Treg initiation lesions as well progression towards unstable plaques leading to ischemic events, supported by human studies and, indirectly, murine models. Herein, we summarize experimental approaches taken order study possible involvement atherosclerosis beneficial clinical potential stabilizing plaques.
