TGF-β signaling controls Foxp3 methylation and T reg cell differentiation by modulating Uhrf1 activity

Abstract

How DNA methylation–mediated repression is reversed before Foxp3 transcription is unclear. Here, Sun et al. show that the epigenetic regulator Uhrf1, which maintained Foxp3 methylation, is down-regulated by TGF-β signaling and provide novel insight into the epigenetic regulation of Foxp3 during iT reg cell differentiation.
