| Research Abstract |
In patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), gene expression of both FOXP3 and its isoform, which express in regulatory T cell (Treg) that play an important role in immune tolerance, were decreased. These results indicated that both are important as a cause in immune tolerance in SLE. Next we investigated FOXP3 expression in immune suppressive state and found that decreased Treg subpopulation was not natural but induced Treg. From our study, we obtained important clues on the effective therapeutic target for SLE.
