Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monitoring kit for an immune status after transplantation, and more particularly, a monitoring kit for the immune status after the transplantation, containing materials for measuring Th17 cells, Treg cells, Th1 cells, CD8EM(CD8 effect memory) IFN-γ-positive cells, and CD8CM(CD8 central memory) IFN-γ-positive cells, and a monitoring method for the immune status of the individual receiving the transplantation including a step of measuring the cell number of Th17 cells, Treg cells, Th1 cells, CD8EM IFN-γ-positive cells, and CD8CM IFN-γ-positive cells against the peripheral blood of an object receiving the transplantation, and a step for calculating each cell number ratio of Treg cells, Th1 cells, CD8EM IFN-γ-positive cells, and CD8CM IFN-γ-positive cells against the number of Th17 cells by dividing the measured values of cell numbers of Treg cells, Th1 cells, CD8EM IFN-γ-positive cells, and CD8CM IFN-γ-positive cells with the measured value of the cell number of Th17 cells. The monitoring method and kit for the immune status of the individual receiving the transplantation provided by the present invention are capable of determining the immune status with ease and accuracy, thereby reducing the excessive use of an immunosuppressant prescribed after transplantation and managing the immune status of each patient.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel uses of curcumin which inhibits differentiation plasticity of regulatory T cells (Treg) and, specifically, to a composition for suppressing differentiation of regulatory T cells (Treg) including curcumin as an active ingredient into etiology cells; a composition for preventing or treating autoimmune diseases including curcumin and regulatory T cells (Treg) as active ingredients; a method of manufacturing regulatory T cells (Treg) which maintains immune suppressing function using curcumin; and a method for suppressing conversion of regulatory T cells (Treg) into etiology cells by using curcumin. The curcumin according to the present invention has a novel use which effectively maintains and reinforces the functions of regulatory T cells (Treg) by suppressing differentiation plasticity of the regulatory T cells into etiology cells so that the curcumin can block differentiation of regulatory T cells (Treg) into etiology cells and maximize effects of preventing or treating autoimmune diseases when the curcumin is used in parallel with the regulatory T cells (Treg) which are cell therapy products. In addition, the curcumin is a natural substance so that the curcumin can be used for long time without toxicity and side effects and have stable effects on body.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel use of tanshinone IIA which suppresses differentiation plasticity of regulatory T cells (Treg) and, specifically, to a composition containing tanshinone IIA as an active ingredient for suppressing differentiation of Treg cell into Th17 cells; a composition containing tanshinone IIA and Treg cells as active ingredients for preventing or treating immune diseases; and a method for producing Treg cells using tanshinone IIA, in which immunosuppressive function is maintained. According to the present invention, tanshinone IIA effectively maintains and enhances the function of Treg cells by suppressing differentiation plasticity of Treg cells into Th17 cells, thereby blocking differentiation of Treg cells into Th17 cells under a pathological condition when being alternately used with Treg cells and providing a therapeutic agent for effectively treating immune diseases.
