Runx1 acts together with RORt to activate Il17 Figure 5 Runx1 acts together with RORt to induce IL-17 production. (a) Flow cytometry of IL-17 production by purified naive CD4+ T cells transduced with retroviruses as described in Figure 4d and then cultured in the presence of various cytokines (above plots), followed by intracellular staining on day 4 after the first transduction (day 5 after activation). Numbers in quadrants indicate percent cells in each. (b) Flow cytometry of IL-17 expression in purified naive CD4+ T cells transduced with various combinations of retrovirus expressing GFP alone (MIG), Thy-1.1 alone (MIT), Thy-1.1-ROR t, GFPRunx1 or GFP-Runx1DN, then cultured in TH0- or TH-17-polarizing conditions and analyzed as described in Figure 4a. Plots are gated on GFP+Thy-1.1+ cells. Numbers in outlined areas indicate percent IL-17+ cells. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments.
Foxp3 represses RORt- and Runx1-induced IL-17 expression (a) Immunoblot (IB) analysis of Runx1 and RORtt in 293T cells transfected with Flag-Runx1 and Myc-RORtt constructs with or without ethidium bromide (EtBr), detected in lysates immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-Flag or anti-Myc. (b) Immunoassay of purified CD4+ T cells cultured for 4 d in TH-17-polarizing conditions; lysates prepared in the presence of ethidium bromide were immunoprecipitated with IgG isotype-matched control antibody or anti-Runx1, then analyzed by immunoblot with anti-RORtt or anti-Runx1. (c,d) Immunoassay of 293T cells transfected with Myc-tagged RORtt and Flag-tagged wild-type Foxp3 (c,d) or mutant Foxp3 (d); lysates immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag or anti-Myc were analyzed by immunoblot with anti-Flag or anti-Myc. Results are representative of three independent experiments.
