Summary

In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), CD4(+) T cells drive inflammation, while regulatory T cells (Tregs) are impaired. This immune dysfunction leads to chronic autoimmune responses and joint inflammation.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Autoimmunity
  • Rheumatology

Context:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves complex immune dysregulation.
  • CD4(+) T cells play a central role in rheumatoid inflammation.
  • Functional abnormalities of CD4(+) T cells are observed in RA synovium and circulation.

Purpose:

  • To review the functional abnormalities of T-cell subsets in rheumatoid inflammation.
  • To elucidate the contribution of CD4(+) T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) to RA pathogenesis.
  • To explore the breakdown of immune tolerance in RA.

Summary:

  • CD4(+) T cells are key mediators of rheumatoid inflammation in RA.
  • Impaired function of regulatory T cells (CD25(+) Tregs) contributes to RA.
  • Defective immune regulation in RA allows self-reactive T-cell responses, leading to chronic inflammation.

Impact:

  • Understanding T-cell roles in RA can reveal new therapeutic targets.
  • Identifying Treg dysfunction in RA highlights potential strategies for immune restoration.
  • This review provides insights into the immunological basis of chronic autoimmune joint disease.
