Abstract:
T cells play an important role in atherosclerosis (AS) besides monocytes and macrophages .The T helper cell type 1 (Th1) affect AS via strong apoptotic effect ,other T cell subgroups are also involved in occurrence and development of AS ,such as Th2 and Th17. The interaction between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th2 related cy—tokines can inhibit AS development .However ,mechanism of T cells in AS is still not clear .The present article made a review on role of T cells in AS and their possible guidance for research and treatment of AS .
