miRNA142-3p targets Tet2 and impairs Treg differentiation and stability in models of type 1 diabetes

Abstract excerpt

In type 1 diabetes, the appearance of islet autoantibodies indicates the onset of islet autoimmunity, often many years before clinical symptoms arise. While T cells play a major role in the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, molecular underpinnings promoting aberrant T cell activation remain poorly understood. Here, we show that during islet autoimmunity an miR142-3p/Tet2/Foxp3 axis interferes with the...
