Trichostatin A Promotes the Generation and Suppressive Functions of Regulatory T Cells by Cristian Doñas, Macarena Fritz, Valeria Manríquez, Gabriela Tejón, María Rosa Bono, Alejandra Loyola, Mario Rosemblatt

“…We also show that the histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA stimulated the in vitro differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Tregs and that this induction was accompanied by a global increase in histone H3 acetylation. Importantly, we also demonstrated that Tregs generated in the presence of TSA have phenotypical and functional differences from the Tregs generated in the absence of TSA. …”
