PGI2 as a regulator of CD4+ subset differentiation and function

Prostaglandin (PG)I2 has important regulatory functions on the innate and adaptive immune systems. Recent experimental evidence reveals that PGI2 modulates the development and function of CD4+ T cells subsets, including Th1, Th2, and Th17 cell responses. In vitro and in vivo studies support that PGI2 generally has an inhibitory effect on Th1 and Th2 activation, differentiation, and cytokine production. In contrast, PGI2 seems to enhance...
