摘要

Abstract

Regulatory T (T

reg

) cells constitute a dynamic population that is critical in autoimmunity. T

reg

cell therapies for autoimmune diseases are mainly focused on enhancing their suppressive activities. However

recent studies demonstrated that certain inflammatory conditions induce T

reg

cell instability with diminished FoxP3 expression and convert them into pathogenic effector cells. Therefore

the identification of novel targets crucial to both T

reg

cell function and plasticity is of vital importance to the development of therapeutic approaches in autoimmunity. In this study

we found that conditional

Pp6

knockout (cKO) in T

reg

cells led to spontaneous autoinflammation

immune cell activation

and diminished levels of FoxP3 in CD4

T cells in mice. Loss of Pp6 in T

reg

cells exacerbated two classical mouse models of T

reg

-related autoinflammation. Mechanistically

Pp6 deficiency increased CpG motif methylation of the

FoxP3

locus by dephosphorylating Dnmt1 and enhancing Akt phosphorylation at Ser473/Thr308

leading to impaired

FoxP3

expression in T

reg

cells. In summary

our study proposes Pp6 as a critical positive regulator of FoxP3 that acts by decreasing DNA methylation of the FoxP3 gene enhancer and inhibiting Akt signaling

thus maintaining T

reg

cell stability and preventing autoimmune diseases.
