Effect of depletion of Ku70 on gene expression profiles of murine regulatory T cells in lung tumor microevnronment

ABSTRACT: The functions of the DNA repair protein Ku70 in immune homeostasis and tumor immunity remain unexplored. Here, we conducted deep sequencing of mRNA profiles from tumor-infiltrating Treg cells (from Foxp3Cre and Xrcc6fl/fl;Foxp3Cre mice injected with Lewis lung carcinoma cells). By comparing gene expression profiles, we found that Ku70-absent Treg displayed activated pathways in response to inflammatory factors and upregulated expression of genes negatively regulated by Foxp3. These findings strongly indicate that Ku70 plays a supportive role in enhancing Foxp3 transcriptional activity.
