Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aire, a transcriptional regulator whose defect results in the development of autoimmunity, controls the transcriptome of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) including the genes for self-antigens. Mechanisms for this process, however, remained incompletely understood. our results uncover multilayered transcriptional control by Aire in mTECs with revealing two distinct classes of gene regulation. On the other hand, γδ T cells producing IL-17A (γδTh17 cells) are known to be involved in peritonitis induced by Escherichia coli infection in mice. In vivo treatment with Vγ6-specific mAb (1C10-1F7) significantly hampered resolution of E. coli infection. Thus, Vγ6+ γδTh17 cells mainly contributed to protection against E. coli infection.
