Article Title: TYK2 inhibition enhances Treg differentiation and function while preventing Th1 and Th17 differentiation

doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2025.102303

Figure Lengend Snippet: TYK2 inhibition enhances Treg stability in Th17-polarizing conditions Tregs (CD4 + CD25 hi CD127 lo ) were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy human donors, stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28, and cultured for 7 days in a Th17-polarizing cocktail in the presence of BMS-986202 (B202). (A) Schematic of polarization protocol. (B) The proportion of FOXP3 + cells was assessed after 7 days. Representative plots and quantification are shown ( n = 9). (C) Expression of RORC2, CCR4, and CCR6 was determined after 7 days relative to non-polarized, control Tregs ( n = 3). (D) Methylation of the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) after 7 days of culture ( n = 5). (E) Representative plot and quantification of intracellular IL-17A/F expression after a 4 h stimulation with PMA/ionomycin ( n = 5). (F) IL-17A, IL-17F, and TNF-α concentration in supernatant after a 24 h re-stimulation with anti-CD3/CD28 ( n = 6). (G) Representative figures and quantification of TIGIT and CD226 expression on Tregs on day 7 ( n = 9). Statistically significant differences compared to DMSO-treated cells were determined by a repeated-measures one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (B–G). Bars indicate mean ± SEM. Points indicate individual replicates. ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of the data and methods used in this study. a , b , c , d depict the primary analyses, in which a latent variable model was used to determine the association between peripheral TPH2 and SLC6A4 methylation and brain levels of 5-HTT and 5-HT 4 . e , f , g describe the sensitivity analyses evaluating the association between SLC6A4 / TPH2 methylation and measures of environmental stress, depressive and anxiety symptoms. h and i show sensitivity analyses used to evaluate potential influence of blood cell proportions in the A-G analyses.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Associations between peripheral TPH2 DNA methylation and brain 5-HTT binding a or 5-HT 4 binding b in the healthy cohort. Orange dashed boxes to the left depict the TPH2 CpG sites and the covariates included in the model. Rs45706210 stands for TPH2 rs45706210 G/T SNP. For representation purposes, PET and MR scanner covariates are not reported in the a and b models. Similarly, although included in the 5-HT 4 latent variable model, 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 and BDNF rs6265 genotypes are not reported in ( b ). Scatter plots in c and d depict the relation between TPH2 methylation and 5-HTT LV or 5-HT 4LV in healthy controls ( c , d ), while the relation between TPH2 methylation and 5-HT 4 binding in patients with MDD is showed in ( e )
