An epigenetic silencing pathway controlling T helper 2 cell lineage commitment
2012
The histone modification H3K9me3, the histone methyltransferase SUV39H1 and the H3K9me3-binding protein HP1α participate in maintaining the silent state of the two canonical T helper 1 cell signature genes (which encode interferon-γ and T-bet), ensuring T helper 2 lineage stability in vitro and in vivo; targeting this pathway has the potential to reduce asthma-related pathology.
