Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 regulates the differentiation and function of Treg cells
摘要
Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) plays an important role in the development of CD11b
+
dendritic cells (DCs) and Th17 cells
however
its role in the differentiation of other T cell subsets
especially in regulatory T (Treg) cells
is unknown. In our study
we used
Usp18
KO mice to study the loss of USP18 on the impact of Treg cell differentiation and function. We found that USP18 deficiency upregulates the differentiation of Treg cells
which may lead to disrupted homeostasis of peripheral T cells
and downregulates INF-γ
IL-2
IL-17A producing CD4
+
T cells and INF-γ producing CD8
+
T cells. Mechanistically
we also found that the upregulation of Tregs is due to elevated expression of CD25 in
Usp18
KO mice. Finally
we found that the suppressive function of
Usp18
KO Tregs is downregulated. Altogether
our study was the first to identify the role of USP18 in Tregs differentiation and its suppressive function
which may provide a new reference for the treatment of Treg function in many autoimmune diseases
and USP18 can be used as a new therapeutic target for precise medical treatment.
Protein phosphatase 6 (Pp6) is crucial for regulatory T cell function and stability in autoimmunity
