摘要

滤泡辅助性T(T follicular helper,Tfh)细胞是CD4+T淋巴细胞的一个子集,定位于淋巴滤泡,具有辅助B细胞的功能。它参与生发中心(germinal center,GC)的形成和B细胞的发育并调控其功能。Tfh细胞发育和功能障碍可导致免疫系统紊乱,引起多种结缔组织病发生。明确Tfh细胞参与结缔组织病的发病机制,可更加全面地认识结缔组织病,为该病种提供靶向Tfh细胞治疗的新途径。

Abstract

Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are a subset of CD4+ T lymphocytes that are localized to lymphoid follicles and have the function of helping B cells. It participates in the formation of the germinal center (GC) and the development of B cells and regulates their function. Tfh cell development and dysfunction can lead to immune system disorders, causing a variety of connective tissue diseases. Studying the involvement of Tfh cells in the pathogenesis of connective tissue disease contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of connective tissue disease and provides a new way to Tfh cell targeted therapy.
Keywords: follicular helper T cells; connective tissue disease; autoimmune disease
