EZH2 and Histone 3 Trimethyl Lysine 27 Associated with Il4 and Il13 Gene Silencing in TH1 Cells
12 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of naïve CD4 T cells toward the T helper 1 (T(H)1) and T helper 2 (T(H)2) fates involves the transcriptional repression and enhancement, respectively, of Il4 and Il13, adjacent chromosome 11 genes encoding the canonical T(H)2 cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-13. Proper execution of this developmental fate choice during immune responses is critical to host defense and, when misregulated,...
