Treg transfer may protect against Ang II vascular injury in mice; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change clinical practice.
Does FOXP3+ Treg deficiency exaggerate Angiotensin II-induced microvascular injury in Rag1 knockout mice?
FOXP3+ T-regulatory cell deficiency exacerbates Angiotensin II-induced microvascular injury, highlighting the protective role of Tregs against vascular damage.
Mian et al. (2015) studied Angiotensin II-induced microvascular injury. Adoptive transfer of Scurfy T cells (Treg deficient) vs. Vehicle or wild-type T cells was evaluated on Microvascular injury, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Adoptive transfer of Treg-deficient Scurfy T cells exaggerated Angiotensin II-induced microvascular injury, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress compared to wild-type T cells.
