Analysis of sirtuin 1 expression reveals a molecular explanation of IL-2-mediated reversal of T-cell tolerance
Open accessAbstract
The type III histone deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a suppressor of both innate and adoptive immune responses. We have recently found that Sirt1 expression is highly induced in anergic T cells. However, the transcriptional program to regulate Sirt1 expression in T cells remains uncharacterized. Here we report that the early responsive genes 2 and 3, which can be up-regulated by T-cell receptor-mediated activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cell transcription factors and are involved in peripheral T-cell tolerance, bind to the sirt1 promoter to transcript sirt1 mRNA. In addition, the forkhead transcription factor, FoxO3a, interacts with early responsive genes 2/3 on the sirt1 promoter to synergistically regulate Sirt1 expression. Interestingly, IL-2, a cytokine that can reverse T-cell anergy, suppresses sirt1 transcription by sequestering FoxO3a to the cytoplasm through activating the PI3K-AKT pathway. Expression of the constitutively active form of FoxO3a blocks IL-2–mediated reversal of T-cell tolerance by retaining sirt1 expression. Our findings here provide a molecular explanation of IL-2–mediated reversion of T-cell anergy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
