OBJECTIVE: Th1 activation and regulatory T (Treg) cell suppression have been observed in
acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial
infarction (AMI). However, the role of Th17 cell or IL-17A remains controversial in ACS
patients, and little is known about the role of recently discovered Th17/Th1 cells, a subset of
Th17 cells, in coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of this study is to investigate
functional changes of Th17/Th1, Th17, Th1, Th2 and Treg cells in ACS patients. METHODS …
