Abstract
Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) cells are a recently defined subtype of nonrecirculating memory T cells with longevity and protective functions in peripheral tissues. The discovery of T cells resident in diverse tissues has altered our understanding of adaptive immunity with respect to site-specific immune response. For frontline defense against infections, TRM cells are essential. Accumulating evidence also implies that TRM cells are likely to contribute to the relapse and chronicity in autoimmune diseases, including psoriatic disease. A number of studies have shown the relationship between the pathogenesis of psoriasis and skin-resident memory T cells. Here, we discussed recent insights into the generation, homing, survival, and retention of TRM cells and shared our perspectives on the functions of TRM cells in the recurrence of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This review summarizes the role of TRM cells in the pathology of psoriasis/PsA, with a view to develop potential novel therapies and therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Immunology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Immunology we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.
Current Opinion in Immunology will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.
Current Opinion in Immunology builds on Elsevier''s reputation for excellence in scientific publishing and long-standing commitment to communicating reproducible biomedical research targeted at improving human health. It is a companion to the new Gold Open Access journal Current Research in Immunology and is part of the Current Opinion and Research(CO+RE) suite of journals. All CO+RE journals leverage the Current Opinion legacy-of editorial excellence, high-impact, and global reach-to ensure they are a widely read resource that is integral to scientists'' workflow.
