The transcription factor Foxp3 plays an indispensible role in the differentiation of regulatory T (Treg) cells and the expression of their suppressive functions. In a recent article published in Nature, Ouyang et al. demonstrate that Treg cell differentiation is also enabled by transcriptional networks controlled by another Forkhead box family member, Foxo1.
转录因子 Foxp3 在调节性 T(Treg)细胞的分化和抑制功能的表达中起着不可或缺的作用。在最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一篇文章中,欧阳等人表明,Foxo1 控制的另一个叉头框家族成员转录网络也能使 Treg 细胞分化。
