Lack of canonical thyroid hormone receptor α signaling changes regulatory T cell phenotype in female mice

Abstract excerpt

The immune system has emerged as an important target of thyroid hormones (THs); however, the role of TH in T cells has so far remained elusive. In this study, we assessed the effect of TH receptor α (TRα) signaling on activation and function of T cells. Our findings show that lack of canonical TRα action not only increased the frequency of regulatory T cells (Treg) but propelled an activated and migratory Treg...
