摘要: Anergy is induced in T cells as a consequence of partial or suboptimal stimulation. Anergic become unresponsive and fail to proliferate produce cytokines. We had previously shown that anergic CD4+ cells, Ikaros participates the transcriptional repression Il2 gene by recruiting histone deacetylases cause core deacetylation at promoter. Here we show promoter initial step process leads stable silencing transcription cells. have found anergy-induced permits binding methyl-transferase Suv39H1, which trimethylates lysine-9 H3 (Me3H3-K9). Furthermore, establishment Me3H3-K9 mark allows recruitment heterochromatin protein HP1, allowing silenced loci reposition close heterochromatin-rich regions. Our results indicate attained through series epigenetic changes involve repressive marks subsequent nuclear repositioning loci, juxtaposed transcriptionally silent This mechanism may account for nature inhibition IL-2 production
