Chromatin Remodeling of Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-IL-17F Cytokine Gene Locus during Inflammatory Helper T Cell Differentiation
12 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
During differentiation of naive CD4+ helper T (TH) cells into effector cells, specific cytokine gene loci undergo extensive changes in chromatin modification. A novel lineage of TH cells that is regulated by transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been identified recently as promoting tissue inflammation. These inflammatory TH (THi) cells, also called TH17 or TH(IL-17), produce...
