Abstract

Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play vital roles in controlling immune reactions and maintaining immune tolerance in the body. The targeted destruction of epidermal melanocytes by activated CD8⁺T cells is a key event in the development of vitiligo. However, Tregs may exert immunosuppressive effects on CD8⁺T cells, which could be beneficial in treating vitiligo.

Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted to gather information on Tregs and vitiligo.

Results: In vitiligo, there is a decrease in Treg numbers and impaired Treg functions, along with potential damage to Treg-related signaling pathways. Increasing Treg numbers and enhancing Treg function could lead to immunosuppressive effects on CD8⁺T cells. Recent research progress on Tregs in vitiligo has been summarized, highlighting various Treg-related therapies being investigated for clinical use. The current status of Treg-related therapeutic strategies and potential future directions for vitiligo treatment are also discussed.

Conclusions: A deeper understanding of Tregs will be crucial for advancing Treg-related drug discovery and treatment development in vitiligo.

调节性 T 细胞在白癜风中的作用及治疗进展：微型综述。

背景：调节性 T 细胞（Tregs调节性 T 细胞（Tregs）在控制免疫反应和维持机体免疫耐受方面发挥着重要作用。活化的 CD8+T 细胞有针对性地破坏表皮黑色素细胞是白癜风发病的关键因素。然而，Tregs可能会对CD8+T细胞产生免疫抑制作用，从而有利于治疗白癜风：方法：对PubMed和Web of Science进行了全面搜索，以收集有关Tregs和白癜风的信息：结果：在白癜风患者中，Treg数量减少，Treg功能受损，与Treg相关的信号通路也可能受损。增加Treg数量和增强Treg功能可能会对CD8+T细胞产生免疫抑制作用。本文总结了白癜风中Tregs的最新研究进展，重点介绍了正在研究用于临床的各种Treg相关疗法。此外，还讨论了与Treg相关的治疗策略的现状以及未来潜在的白癜风治疗方向：结论：加深对Tregs的了解对于推动Treg相关药物的发现和白癜风治疗方法的开发至关重要。
