Abstract EN
Regulatory B cells (Bregs), a newly described subset of B cells, have been proved to play a suppressive role in immune system.
Bregs can inhibit other immune cells through cytokines secretion and antigen presentation, which give them the role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and cancers.
There are no clear criteria to identify Bregs; different markers were used in the different experimental conditions.
Massive researches had described the functions of immune cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), dendritic cells (DCs), and B cells in the autoimmune disorder diseases and cancers.
More and more researches focused on the roles of Bregs and the cytokines such as Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) secreted by Bregs.
The aim of this review is to summarize the characteristics of Bregs and the roles of Bregs in cancer.
