Short-chain fatty acids modulate the development and the cell surface molecule expression of dendritic cells by epigenetic regulation

Weiting Zhao, Kazuki Nagata, Risako Akiyama…·Chiharu Nishiyama

This study shows that butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid, modulates dendritic cell development and surface molecule expression through epigenetic mechanisms and transcription factors.

PU.1 and TGF-β signaling transactivate CD103 expression in mast cells and dendritic cells: Opposite roles of GATA2 in the expression of mucosal mast cell-specific genes

Kenta Ishii, Kazuki Nagata, Niya Yamashita…·Chiharu Nishiyama

The paper investigates the transcriptional regulation of CD103 in mast cells and dendritic cells, showing that PU.1 transactivates CD103 expression while GATA2 represses it.

Kaempferol exerts anti-inflammatory effects by accelerating Treg development via AhR-mediated and PU.1/IRF4-dependent transactivation of the Aldh1a2/RALDH2 gene in dendritic cells

Miki Takahashi, Kazuki Nagata, Yumi Watanuki…·Chiharu Nishiyama

This study identifies kaempferol as a flavonoid that enhances Treg development via AhR-mediated and PU.1/IRF4-dependent activation of Aldh1a2/RALDH2 in dendritic cells, reducing inflammation in a food allergy model.
