NFAT primes the human RORC locus for RORγt expression in CD4+ T cells
16 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract T helper 17 (Th17) cells have crucial functions in mucosal immunity and the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases. The lineage-specific transcription factor, RORγt, encoded by the RORC gene modulates Th17 polarization and function, as well as thymocyte development. Here we define several regulatory elements at the human RORC locus in thymocytes and peripheral CD4 + T lymphocytes, with...
