摘要
Th1、Th2、Th17和调节性T细胞(Treg)亚群是CD4+T细胞亚群中的重要成员,其参与了人类及动物自身免疫性疾病的发病过程.既往认为,IL-9是由CD4+Th2细胞分泌的细胞因子,是机体免疫应答中重要的调节因子.最近研究表明,机体内可能存在着一群新型的具有分泌IL-9和IL-10能力的CD4+Th细胞亚群,称之为"Th9"细胞.该细胞亚群与自身免疫性疾病的相关性尚不清楚.
T helper type 1 ( Th1 ), Th2, Th1 7 and the Treg are important members of Helper CD4^ + T-cell, which participate in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases in humans and animal models. IL-9 was primarily recognized as a product of CD4^ + Th2 cells and an important regulatory cytokine in immunologic responses. Recent data suggest that a distinct population of IL-9 and IL-10 producing helper CD4^+ T-cells, named Th9, may exist. The role of Th9 cells in autoimmune diseases is currently unknown.
