Foxp3 is the “master transcriptional regulator” for CD4+regulatory T cells (Tregs) [1,2]. Naïve and memory CD4+ T cells can be differentiated into Tregs with induced expression of the Foxp3 gene [3]. Mutation in the Foxp3 gene results in hyperact...
mutation may influence the splicing of mRNA and affect the function of protein.Conclusion Both cases had typical clinical manifestation of the IPEX syndrome,among whom a novel splice site mutation (IVS9 c.967+3A>T) and a missense mutation (c.1150G> A) of the FOXP3 gene were identified....
a, Structure highlighting the inter-rung8bpinteractions between the orange and red subunits (in surface representation). The interactions are primarily between RBRs, where Phe331 resides.b, The effect of the inter-rung8bpmutation (F331D) on the FOXP3–DNA interaction was analysed using FOXP3(...
The forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) transcription factor is one of the main markers of immunological suppression in different pathological profiles, and the presence of polymorphic variants may alter the gene expression of this factor. Despite descriptions of an association between the presence of the...
(Ags) are major mediators of the disease.7 The importance of Tregs in controlling IBD is well exemplified by the severe intestinal inflammation observed in individuals with the foxp3 gene mutation.8,9 Experimentally, T cell–induced colitis that shares histopatho- logic features with IBD is only...
Mutations or dysregulation of the FOXP3 gene have been linked to a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as certain types of cancer. In particular, the FOXP3 gene has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy, as modulation of FOXP3 expression ...

(CTLA4), glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor family gene (GITR)andfolate receptor 4. FOXP3+T-cells are made in the thymus and periphery. The FOXP3+T-cells made in the thymus migrate to secondary lymphoid tissues and suppress antigen priming of lymphocytes. Antigen priming of naïve FOXP3+T...

In order to perform a detailed phenotypic, biochemical, and functional analysis of this FOXP3 gene mutation, we generated a transgenic mouse that carrying a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) containing the mutant Foxp3 allele and recapitulatedthe the phenotype of the IPEX Patient. Introduction of...
