| Abstract | The inverse correlation between DNA methylation and lineage-specific gene expression during T helper cell development is well documented. However, the specific functions of the de novo methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b in cytokine gene regulation have not been defined. We demonstrate that the expression of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are induced to a greater extent in T helper 2 (Th2) cells than in T helper 1 cells during polarization. Using conditional mutant mice, we determined that Dnmt3a, but not Dnmt3b, regulated expression of T helper cell cytokine genes, with the Il13 gene most prominently affected. Dnmt3a deficiency was accompanied by decreases in DNA methylation and changes in the H3K27 acetylation/methylation status at the Il13 locus. Dnmt3a-dependent regulation of Il13 also occurred in vivo because $Dnmt3a^{fl/fl}Cd4cre$ mice exhibited increased lung inflammation in a murine asthma model, compared with littermate controls. Based on these observations, we conclude that Dnmt3a is required for controlling normal Il13 gene expression and functions as a rate-limiting factor to restrict T helper 2-mediated inflammation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
