(A) Log2 fold change of Il10 mRNA levels in WT versus KO Tr1 cells differentiated in vitro with IL-27 for 72 h, quantified by qPCR. Blue, positive regulator; red, negative regulator; gray, not statistically significant. Data are displayed as mean of 2–3 replicates.
(B) Statistically significant ChIP-seq binding sites of ATF-3 ATF-3, Fosl2, T-bet, and IRF8 in the Il10 locus.
(C) Luciferase activity in 293T cells transfected with luciferase reporters for the indicated cis-regulatory elements of Il10 and plasmids encoding the depicted TFs. Firefly luciferase activity is normalized to constitutive Renilla luciferase activity.
(D) WT and Hlx+/− mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with anti-CD3. Il10 mRNA in CD4+ T cells MACS purified from mesenteric lymph nodes was measured by qPCR.
(E) 5 x 105
in vitro differentiated WT (diamonds) and Hlx+/−(squares) Tr1 cells were transferred i.p. into Rag1−/− recipients. Rag1−/− (circles) did not receive any cells. Changes in body weight were monitored weekly. n = 5.
