Description: The role of regulatory T cells (Treg cell) in controlling autoimmune disease is an area of intense study. As such, the characterization and understanding the function of Treg markers has the potential to provide a considerable impact in developing treatments and understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. One such inhibitory Treg cell marker that has been recently discovered is T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT). In this review, we discuss what is known about the expression and function of TIGIT on Treg cells, and we discuss the relationship between TIGIT expressing Treg cells and different autoimmune diseases such as atopic dermatitis, autoimmune thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune uveitis, aplastic anemia, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis, and colitis.
