Epigenetic control of Foxp3 by SMYD3 H3K4 histone methyltransferase controls iTreg development and regulates pathogenic T cell responses during pulmonary viral infection

The generation of regulatory T (Treg) cells is driven by Foxp3 and is responsible for dampening inflammation and reducing autoimmunity. In this study the epigenetic regulation of iTreg cells was examined and identified a H3K4 histone methyltransferase, SMYD3, which regulates expression of Foxp3 by a...
