Skewed epithelial cell differentiation and premature aging of the thymus in the absence of vitamin #D signaling

aledopress

Central tolerance of thymocytes to self-antigen depends on the medullary thymic epithelial cell (mTEC) transcription factor autoimmune regulator (Aire), which drives tissue-restricted antigen (TRA) gene expression. Vitamin D signaling regulates Aire and TRA expression in mTECs, providing a basis for links between vitamin D deficiency and autoimmunity. We find that mice lacking Cyp27b1, which cannot… Continue reading Skewed epithelial cell differentiation and premature aging of the thymus in the absence of vitamin #D signaling
