T follicular helper (Tfh) cells constitute a functionally specialized subset of CD4+ T lymphocytes that orchestrate germinal center (GC) responses, critically regulating B cell destination and the development of long-term humoral immunity. Emerging evidence implicates Tfh cells as key mediators in the pathogenesis of multiple fibrotic disorders across multiple organ systems, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), hepatic fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD). This review synthesizes current understanding of Tfh cell biology in fibrosis, aiming to provide deeper insights into their involvement in pathogenesis and identify potential new therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Cellular Immunology publishes original investigations concerned with the immunological activities of cells in experimental or clinical situations. The scope of the journal encompasses the broad area of in vitro and in vivo studies of cellular immune responses. Purely clinical descriptive studies are not considered.
Research Areas include:
• Antigen receptor sites
• Autoimmunity
• Delayed-type hypersensitivity or cellular immunity
• Immunologic deficiency states and their reconstitution
• Immunologic surveillance and tumor immunity
• Immunomodulation
• Immunotherapy
• Lymphokines and cytokines
• Nonantibody immunity
• Parasite immunology
• Resistance to intracellular microbial and viral infection
• Thymus and lymphocyte immunobiology
• Transplantation immunology
• Tumor immunity.
