VEGFR2 is selectively expressed by FOXP3high CD4+ Treg
AbstractCD25+ FOXP3+CD4+ T cells (Treg) have been considered to play an important role in immune tolerance against several tumor antigens. It has also been indicated that high‐level expression of FOXP3 (FOXP3high) is sufficient to confer suppressive activity to normal non‐Treg. Here, we showed for the first time that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is selectively expressed by FOXP3high but not FOXP3low Treg. Such VEGFR2+ Treg exist in several tissues including PBMC and malignant effusion‐derived lymphocytes. In conclusion, VEGFR2 may be a novel target for controlling Treg with highly suppressive function.
