Abstract(s)

γδ T cells have emerged as key providers of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 17 (IL-17) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in various models of infection, inflammation, and autoimmunity. Our previous epigenetic and transcriptional analyses have shown that whereas CD27+ γδ T cells are committed to IFN-γ expression, the IL-17 producing CD27- subset has limited plasticity to co-express both cytokines under inflammatory conditions (Schmolka et al. Nat Immunol 2013). To further understand the molecular control of this plasticity we now investigated the potential role of microRNA (miRNA)-mediated post-transcriptional regulation.
