Abstract:
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevent autoimmunity but limit antitumor immunity. The canonical NF-?B signaling pathway both activates immunity and promotes thymic Treg development. Here, we report that mature Tregs continue to require NF-?B signaling through I?B-kinase ? (IKK?) after thymic egress. Mice lacking IKK? in mature Tregs developed scurfy-like immunopathology due to death of peripheral FoxP3 Tregs. Also, pharmacological IKK? inhibition reduced Treg numbers in the circulation by ~50% and d...     »
