TGF-β has been known as an anti-inflammatory cytokine for a long time. However, the molecular mechanism of immunosuppression by TGF-β remains to be clarified. Recently, it has been reported that TGF-β is able to control the Th differentiation. Espesially, it has been focused that the induction of Treg (Foxp3 expression) from naïve T cells is one of the immunosuppressive mechanism by TGF-β. On the other hand, TGF-β induces inflammatory Th17 cells in the presence of IL-6. While the induction of Treg by TGF-β is dependent on Smad2/3, the induction of Th17 is not. The understanding of these mechanism will be important for the development of therapy for immune diseases.
