Expression of miRNAs miR-133b and miR-206 in the Il17a/f Locus Is Co-Regulated with IL-17 Production in αβ and γδ T Cells

Abstract excerpt

Differentiation of T helper 17 cells (Th17) is a multistep process that involves the cytokines IL-6, TGF-β, and IL-23 as well as IL-1β, IL-21, and TNF-α. Thereby, robust induction of the capacity to produce IL-17 involves epigenetic modifications of the syntenic Il17a/f locus. Using inbred mouse strains, we identified co-regulation of gene transcription at the Il17a/f locus with the nearby microRNAs miR-133b and...
