Epigenetic Regulation of Cytokine Gene Expression in T Lymphocytes
Lee CG et al. - Recent studies have elucidated the important role of chromatin remodeling and epigenetic changes for proper regulation of gene expression of lineage-specific cytokines. These include DNA methylation and histone modifications in epigenomic reprogramming during T helper cell development and effector T cell functions. This review discusses the basic epigenetic mechanisms and the role of transcription factors for the differential cytokine gene regulation in the T helper lymphocyte subsets. [more...]
