Human CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Lymphocytes (Tregs): MicroRNA Expression Profile and Effect of Valproate Treatment on microRNA Signature and FOXP3 Expression in their Negative Counterparts (CD4+CD25- T Lymphocytes)Wednesday, 16 October 2013 at 15:00 Add to Calendar ▼2013-10-16 15:00:002013-10-16 16:00:00Europe/LondonHuman CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Lymphocytes (Tregs): MicroRNA Expression Profile and Effect of Valproate Treatment on microRNA Signature and FOXP3 Expression in their Negative Counterparts (CD4+CD25- T Lymphocytes)SELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subpopulation of T cells with suppressive properties. We investigated human natural Tregs and identified a signature composed of five miRs. Using lentiviral transduction, we demonstrated that miR-31 and miR-21 had negative and positive effects on FOXP3 expression levels repectively. We thereafter showed that valproate treatment of human non-Tregs confers on them a molecular profile similar to that of their regulatory counterpart. |
