Journal of Neuroimmunology, 06/24/09
Huang X et al. - CD4+ T cells orchestrate innate and adaptive immunity. In the central nervous system they modulate immune responses including cell trafficking and glial neuroregulatory functions through an array of soluble molecules cell–cell interactions affecting tissue homeostasis. During disease their roles evolve to an auto-aggressive or, alternatively, protective phenotype. How such a balance is struck in the setting of neurodegenerative disorders may reflect a dichotomy between regulatory T cell, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities versus effector T cell inflammation and neurodegeneration. Interestingly, such roles may show commonalities amongst neurodegenerative diseases. Herein the authors focus on strategies to modulate such CD4+ T cell responses for therapeutic gain.
