The effect of T cell or B cell subsets in atherosclerosis. Th0 cells can differentiate into Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg, and NKT cells. Th1 cells are proatherogenic cells that secrete proinflammatory cytokines. NKT cells are also proatherogenic cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. B-2 cells and IRA B cells are both proatherogenic cells, whereas B-1 B cells and Treg cells exert antiatherogenic effects. The effects of Th2 cells and Th17 cells in atherosclerosis remain unclear.
