Treg Cell Function in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Compromised by CTLA‐4 Promoter Methylation Resulting in a Failure to Activate the Indoleamine 2,3‐Dioxygenase Pathway

Abstract: Objective. Functionally impaired Treg cells expressing abnormally low levels of CTLA-4 have been well documented in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the molecular defect underlying this reduced expression is unknown. The aims of this study were to assess the role of DNA methylation in regulating CTLA-4 expression in Treg cells isolated from RA patients and to elucidate the mechanism of their reduced suppressor function. Conclusion. We show for the first time that epigenetic modifications contribute to defec… Show more

“…Depletion of Treg cells in mice aggravates the severity of experimental arthritis, whereas adoptive transfer CD4 + CD25 + cells protects against arthritis (Frey et al, 2005). In humans also, functional abnormalities of Treg cells have been identified in RA patients (Flores-Borja et al, 2008, Cribbs et al, 2014 B cells are the lymphocytes which, after antigen activation, can be transformed to plasma cells that produce antigen-specific immunoglobulins (antibodies) of different isotypes (IgM, IgD, IgG (subclasses 1-4), IgA (subclass 1 and 2), and IgE. Rituximab, a B-cell blocking drug, has been found effective to treat RA.…”

“…Функциональная активность Т рег зависит от набора поверхностных маркеров: CTLA-4 [27][28][29][30][31], ICOS [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], CD154 [41][42][43][44][45][46], CD274 [47][48][49][50][51][52][53] и ряда других, участвующих в контроле активации Т-клеток.…”

“…Совсем недавно были получены новые данные, свидетельствующие о влиянии МТ на эпигенетические дефекты функции Т рег [30,101]. Напомним, что эпигене-тическая регуляция генов, в первую очередь метилирова-ние ДНК, играет существенную роль в контроле их функ-ции [23]; было продемонстрировано, что метилирование ДНК участвует в экспрессии транскрипционного регуля-тора Т рег -FoxP3 [23].…”
