Peptides Regulate Cortical Thymocytes Differentiation, Proliferation, and Apoptosis

الملخص EN

The processes of differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis were studied in a cell culture of human cortical thymocytes under the influence of short peptides T-32 (Glu-Asp-Ala) and T-38 (Lys-Glu-Asp).

Peptides T-32 and T-38 amplified cortical thymocytes differentiation towards regulatory T cells, increased their proliferative activity, and decreased the level of apoptosis.

Moreover, peptides under study stimulated proliferative and antiapoptotic activity of the mature regulatory T cells.
