Popis: The pathogenesis of aplastic anemia (AA) in children is not clear. This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the proportion and function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in pediatric AA. The proportion of Tregs, mRNA levels of transcription factors, and concentrations of cytokines were measured by flow cytometry, reverse transcription-PCR, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Tregs were co-cultured with effector T cells (Teff) to evaluate the function of Tregs. The proportion of Tregs after immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in pediatric AA was monitored dynamically. Compared to the control, the proportions of Tregs in peripheral blood and bone marrow lymphocytes of the untreated AA group were lower (1.31% ± 0.73% vs. 3.16% ± 0.92%, 1.49% ± 0.81% vs. 3.06% ± 0.82%, respectively
