T-bet represses collagen-induced arthritis by suppressing Th17 lineage commitment through inhibition of RORγt expression and function

Abstract T-bet is a key transcription factor for the T helper 1 lineage and its expression level is negatively correlated to inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our previous study using T-bet transgenic mice revealed over-expression of T-bet completely suppressed collagen-induce...
