Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Special AT-rich binding protein-1 (SATB1) is a chromosome organizer. Hematopoietic cell specific deletion of SATB1 in mice (SATB1cKO) leads to autoimmune manifestation; however, SATB1cKO mice were resistant against EAE. Spontaneous EAE with 2D2 transgenic TCR was not observed in SATB1cKO mice. Since TCR signal strength was weak in T cells from SATB1cKO mice, these results imply that T cells in SATB1cKO mice at childhood might play a role in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.
