1/ A new study was recently published in Science Translational Medicine investigating antigen specificity in Treg-mediated suppression of effector T cells in a celiac model.
1/ What is the TCR specificity of Foxp3+ Tregs? They're as diverse as conventional T cells, but very few antigen-specific Tregs have been described. This lack of specificity leads to many unfounded statements. Let's dive in.
1/ Let's do a deep dive into the best research article on Foxp3+ Tregs this month (January 2025) and highlight its strengths and weaknesses.
'We found that up-regulation of a primate-specific short isoform of PRDM1-S induces expression of SGK1 independent from the evolutionarily conserved long PRDM1, which led to destabilization of #FOXP3 & #Treg dysfunction. This aberrant PRDM1-S/SGK1 axis is shared among other autoimmune diseases.'

"Here, by comprehensively mapping 3D #chromatin organization during #Treg cell differentiation, we show that Treg-specific chromatin structures were progressively established during its lineage specification, and highly associated with Treg signature gene expression. Additionally, the binding sites of #Foxp3, a Treg lineage specifying #transcription factor, were highly enriched at Treg-specific chromatin loop anchors."
"Notably, TCR-M cells that were predifferentiated toward a regulatory phenotype in vitro maintained stable in vivo #FOXP3 (Forkhead box P3) expression and anti-inflammatory activity whereas #th17
partially converted toward a regulatory phenotype in the injured myocardium."
