Ox-LDL Influences Peripheral Th17/Treg Balance by Modulating Treg Apoptosis and Th17 Proliferation in Atherosclerotic Cerebral Infarction

Background: CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells and T-helper 17 (Th17) cells play important roles in acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Our previous findings have suggested that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) could influence Treg/Th17 ratio in ACI patients. However, the mechanisms are still...
