Regulatory T (Treg) cells that express the lineage-defining transcription factor Foxp3 play a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining immune and tissue homeostasis. Foxp3 serves as a highly connected ‘hub’, interacting with numerous genomic sites and partner proteins, in the molecular network that orchestrates multiple facets of Treg cell differentiation and function. Treg cells are distributed throughout the body from lymphoid tissues to most non-lymphoid tissues, where they exert anti-inflammatory and protective functions appropriate for the tissue and immune environment. They are thus capable of adapting to diverse and changing environments by dynamically integrating extrinsic cues with the intrinsic molecular network. In this review, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of the cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms underlying the adaptability of Treg cells and we propose a crucial role for the Foxp3-centered molecular network, which operates in a multimodal and adaptive manner in response to environmental signals.
