Immune Gene Expression Profile of Tr1 Skewed Tregs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: IL-12 and IL-18 synergize to promote TH1 responses and have been implicated as accelerators of autoimmune pathogenesis in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We therefore investigated the influence of these cytokines on phenotype and function of immune cells that are involved in disease progression. To understand how IL-12 and IL-18 may synergize to impair Treg function and phenotype, we conducted transcriptional profiling of Treg expanded under normal conditions or in the presence of IL-12 and IL-18. This analysis revealed increased expression of IFNG, GZMB, GZMA, and IL18RAP and decreased FOXP3 in Tregs expanded with IL-12 and IL-18.
