CD is a systemic immune-mediated disorder caused by the dietary gluten in individuals who are genetically susceptible to the disease. In fact, CD is a T cell-mediated immune disease in which gluten-derived peptides activate the lamina propria CD4 + Teff cells, and these T-cell subsets can cause the intestinal tissue damages. Also, there are additional subsets of CD4 + T cells with suppressor functions. These subsets express the master transcription factor, FOXP3, and include Tr1 cells and CD4 +

The suppressive function of Tregs is important to maintain the immune homeostasis. This paper examined the features and the basic mechanisms used by Tregs to mediate the suppression in CD.
