Chromatin accessibility analysis of CNS4-sufficient and defincient regulatory T cells, Treg cell precursors, and mature and semimature CD4 single positives
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have discovered that deletion of a conserved regulatory element upstream of the Foxp3 gene, termed CNS4, results in the abrogation of IL-2 mediated induction of Foxp3 expression during regulatory T cell development. However, the mice still harbor a reduced but functional population of Treg cells. To understand potential compensatory mechanisms driving the differentiation and expansion of regulatory T cells in the absence of CNS4, we profiled CNS4-deficient and -sufficient regulatory T cells, as well as related cell types, from the thymuses of male mice by ATAC-sequencing.
