AP-1 transcription factor is recruited to the majority of chromatin remodeling sites during T cell activation. The activity of AP-1 is induced by co-stimulation and is required for chromatin opening. The sites of remodeling overlap with risk loci of immunological diseases.

Bcl11b binds to distinctive genomic regions with different partners and regulates completely different target genes in pro-T and ILC2 cells. Despite these divergences in Bcl11b function, a shared enhancer supports initial Bcl11b locus opening in both pro-T and ILC2 lineages.

Regulation of Bcl6 expression during follicular helper T cell differentiation remains incompletely understood. Here, Long et al. show that T cell activation induces H3K36me2 methyltransferase Nsd2, in a CD28- and ICOS-dependent manner, to promote Bcl6 expression and Tfh differentiation.

Specific IL-1 family cytokines are initially expressed as inactive, cytosolic pro-forms. Chan and Schroder review inflammasome signaling and cell death decisions, mechanisms underpinning IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18, and IL-37 maturation and release, and the functions of these cytokines in protective and pathological inflammation.

Distinctions in the nature and spatiotemporal expression of IL-2R subunits on conventional versus regulatory T cells are exploited to manipulate IL-2 immunomodulatory effects. Particularly, low-dose IL-2 and some recombinant derivatives are being evaluated to enhance/inhibit immune responses for therapeutic purposes.
