Article Title: Aiolos promotes CXCR3 expression on Th1 cells via positive regulation of IFN- γ /STAT1 signaling

doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.180287

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Publicly available chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) data for STAT1 (GSM994528), STAT4 (GSM550303), and T-bet (GSM836124) were examined at Cxcr3 . Sequencing tracks were viewed using the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). Regulatory regions of interest with transcription factor enrichment are indicated by the blue boxes. ( B ) Published RNA-Seq data (GSE203065) from in vitro–generated WT and Ikzf3 –/– Th1 cells were analyzed for DEGs. A heatmap of DEGs associated with IFN-γ/STAT1 and IL-12/STAT4 signaling in Th1 cells is shown, as well as additional genes involved in both pathways and Th cell differentiation. Gene names color-coded in blue are downregulated in Ikzf3 –/– Th1 cells. Note: Cxcr3 transcript data presented here are the same as in . ( C ) Schematic of proposed model in which Aiolos may regulate CXCR3 via impacts on components of the IFN-γ/STAT1 and IL-12/STAT4 cytokine signaling pathways. The downward arrows in blue indicate genes that are downregulated in the absence of Aiolos.
