RORγt-specific transcriptional interactomic inhibition suppresses autoimmunity associated with T H 17 cells

Abstract

Significance T H 17 cells are a subset of CD4 + T helper cells that secrete the cytokine IL-17 and play a role in autoimmunity. RORγt is identified as a key transcription factor driving the T H 17 differentiation. Sequence analysis indicated that transcription factor contains several conserved DNA-binding domain and isotype-specific domain that we termed transcription modulation domain (TMD). We designed a novel therapeutics, tRORγt-TMD, to deliver RORγt-TMD efficiently into the nucleus of the cells that regulates T H 17 cell functions and T H 17-mediated autoimmune diseases. With the same concept, tTbet-TMD also can regulate T H 1 functions. In conclusion, tRORγt-TMD/tTbet-TMD can be novel and highly specific therapeutics for the treatment of T H 17/T H 1-mediated inflammatory disease and further allows us to discover new function of RORγt/Tbet in animals without genetic alteration.
