Clin Exp Med. 2023 Oct;23(6):1973-1979. doi: 10.1007/s10238-023-01037-w. Epub 2023 Mar 13.

Abstract

Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1), a proliferation specific transcriptional modulator, plays a principal role in many physiological and pathological processes. FoxM1-mediated oncogenic processes have been well addressed. However, functions of FoxM1 in immune cells are less summarized. The literatures about the expression of FoxM1 and its regulation on immune cells were searched on PubMed and Google Scholar. In this review, we provide an overview on the roles of FoxM1 in regulating functions of immune cells, including T cells, B cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells, and discuss their contributions to diseases.

Keywords: B cells; Dendritic cells; FoxM1; Immune cells; Macrophages; T cells.
