DNA Methyltransferase Inhibition Promotes Th1 Polarization in Human CD4+CD25high FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells but Does Not Affect Their Suppressive Capacity by Sija Landman, Marjan Cruijsen, Paulo C. M. Urbano, Gerwin Huls, Piet E. J. van Erp, Esther van Rijssen, Irma Joosten, Hans J. P. M. Koenen

“…Regulatory T cells (Treg) can show plasticity whereby FOXP3 expression, the master transcription factor for Treg suppressor function, is lost and proinflammatory cytokines are produced. Optimal FOXP3 expression strongly depends on hypomethylation of the FOXP3 gene. 5-Azacytidine (Aza) and its derivative 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (DAC) are DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) that are therapeutically used in hematological malignancies, which might be an attractive strategy to promote Treg stability. …”
