Induced CD8+FoxP3+ Treg Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Modulated by p38 Phosphorylation and Monocytes Expressing Membrane Tumor Necrosis Factor α and CD86

Abstract

These data define an unknown mechanism of CD8+FoxP3+ Treg cell induction by anti-CD3 mAb, which could be combined with a p38 inhibitor to improve therapeutic efficacy in RA patients and resolve chronic inflammation via the restoration of tolerance.
