A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a key cytokine for the development of T helper type 1 (Th1) responses; however, naïve CD4(+) T cells do not express IL-12Rbeta2, and are therefore unresponsive to IL-12. We have examined the mechanisms that control Th1-specific expression of the human IL-12Rbeta2 gene at early time points after T-cell stimulation. We have identified a Th1-specific enhancer element that binds signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) in vivo in developing Th1 but not Th2 cells. T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling induced histone hyperacetylation and recruitment of BRG1, the ATPase subunit of the SWI/SNF-like BAF chromatin remodeling complex, to the IL-12Rbeta2 regulatory regions and was associated with low-level gene transcription at the IL-12Rbeta2 locus. However, high-level IL-12Rbeta2 expression required TCR triggering in the presence of IL-12. Our results indicate a synergistic role of TCR-induced chromatin remodeling and cytokine-induced STAT4 activation to direct IL-12Rbeta2 expression during Th1 cell development.
