Disease relevance of FOXP3

 

High impact information on FOXP3

 

Chemical compound and disease context of FOXP3

  • For testing the in vivo significance of this effect, CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells that expressed high levels of Foxp3 were reconstituted into SCID mice after induction of Adriamycin nephropathy, a noncognate model of chronic renal disease [11].
 

Biological context of FOXP3

  • Gene expression of Treg transcription factor FOXP3 was reduced in cGVHD patients compared with patients without cGVHD (P = .009) or healthy donors (P = .01) [1].
  • Mutations of the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor FOXP3 gene on chromosome Xp11.23 cause a rare recessive monogenic disorder called IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, including type 1 diabetes, enteropathy, and X-linked syndrome) [12].
  • FOXP3 is playing an essential role for T regulatory cells and is involved in the molecular mechanisms controlling immune tolerance [13].
  • The basal promoter contains six NF-AT and AP-1 binding sites, which are positively regulating the trans activation of the FOXP3 promoter after triggering of the TCR [13].
  • The FOXP3 promoter was defined by RACE, cloned, and functionally analyzed using reporter-gene constructs in primary human T cells [13].
 

Anatomical context of FOXP3

 

Associations of FOXP3 with chemical compounds

  • Furthermore, the study identifies essential, positive regulators of the FOXP3 gene and highlights cyclosporin A as an inhibitor of FOXP3 expression contrasting other immunosuppressants such as steroids or rapamycin [13].
  • Future studies will evaluate the effects of therapies known to influence Treg cell function and FOXP3 expression, including TCR peptide vaccination and supplemental estrogen [2].
  • FOXP3 mRNA levels were inversely correlated with serum creatinine levels measured at the time of biopsy in the acute-rejection group (Spearman's correlation coefficient = -0.38, P=0.02) but not in the group with chronic allograft nephropathy or the group with normal biopsy results [18].
  • FOXP3-positive T(R) represent a novel marker for identifying late-relapse patients who may benefit from aromatase therapy after standard tamoxifen treatment [19].
  • Proliferation in the presence or absence of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) was evaluated by thymidine incorporation. mRNA and protein content of foxp3, a master transcriptional regulator of Tregs, were determined for all subjects [20].
 

Physical interactions of FOXP3

 

Regulatory relationships of FOXP3

  • Human CD4+ T cells express TLR5 and its ligand flagellin enhances the suppressive capacity and expression of FOXP3 in CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells [22].
  • Further, BV-LPS induced CD25 and Foxp3 expression in lymphocytes and CD4(+)CD25(+) cells expressed IL-10 mRNA [23].
  • In the present work, we demonstrate that Foxp3 can induce heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression and subsequently such regulatory phenotypes as the suppression of nontransfected cells in a cell-cell contact-dependent manner as well as impaired proliferation and production of cytokines upon stimulation in Jurkat T cells [24].
  • The identification of transcription factors controlling Th1, Th2 and T-regulatory cell (T(Reg)) development further support the Th2 hypothesis since GATA3 is overexpressed and T-bet underexpressed in the asthmatic airway and Foxp3 is induced in asthma by corticosteroid treatment [25].
  • Blocking ILT-3 or IL-12 does not diminish the capacity of these DCs to induce regulation or Foxp3 expression on the regulatory T cells [26].
  • Ectopic expression of FOXP3 in mouse mammary cancer cells repressed SKP2 expression with a corresponding increase in p27 and polyploidy [27].
  • FOXP3 can be acetylated in primary human regulatory T cells, and TIP60 promotes FOXP3 acetylation in vivo [28].
 

Other interactions of FOXP3

  • We have also shown that binding of Foxp3 to the IL-2 and IFNgamma genes induces active deacetylation of histone H3, a process that inhibits chromatin remodeling and opposes gene transcription [21].
  • Disease-causing mutations in FOXP2 and FOXP3 map either to the DNA binding surface or the domain-swapping dimer interface, functionally corroborating the crystal structure [29].
  • BACKGROUND: The transcription factor FOXP3 has been identified as the molecule associated with the regulatory function of CD25+ T cells [30].
  • Our study is the first to establish that MS patients have abnormalities in FOXP3 message and protein expression levels in peripheral CD4+ CD25+ T cells (Tregs) that are quantitatively related to a reduction in functional suppression induced during suboptimal T-cell receptor (TCR) ligation [2].
  • The expression of Foxp3, CTLA-4, and ICOS mRNAs in PBMCs stimulated with bovine or human insulin was higher in patients on insulin treatment than in patients studied before starting insulin treatment [31].
  • The blockade of CD27-CD70 interaction by anti-CD70 Ab abrogated lymphoma B-cell-mediated induction of Foxp3 expression in intratumoral CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells [32].
  • Transfection of FOXP3-deficient CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from patients with a plasmid encoding wild-type NFAT1 resulted in increased FOXP3 expression in these cells [33].
