1.	Lundberg, Anna, et al. (author) Activation-induced FOXP3 isoform profile in peripheral CD4+T cells is associated with coronary artery disease 2017 In: Atherosclerosis. - : ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD. - 0021-9150 .- 1879-1484. ; 267, s. 27-33 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract Background and aims: The expression of FOXP3 isoforms affects regulatory T (Treg) cell function. Reduced Treg cell function has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, alternative splicing of FOXP3 in CAD has not been investigated. Methods: FOXP3 splice variants and IL17A transcripts in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from stable CAD patients and healthy controls were quantified, and FOXP3 isoform expression in response to T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation or LDL was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: Compared to healthy controls, CAD patients expressed significantly more FOXP3 transcripts that included exon 2, whereas alternative splicing of exon 7 in correlation with IL17A expression was reduced. Moreover, TCR stimulation, as well as exposure to LDL, decreased alternative splicing of FOXP3 in CD4+ T cells in vitro. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that blood mononuclear cells in stable CAD patients express a ratio of FOXP3 isoforms that is characteristic for activated CD4+ T cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
