The differentiation and function of these T cells is epigenetically regulated through DNA methylation and histone modifications. However, the roles of altered histone H3K27 methylation in T cells in the development of ACD remain unknown. Two types of histone H3K27 demethylases, Utx and Jmjd3, have been reported in mammals. To determine the role of the histone H3K27 demethylase expression of T cells in the development of ACD, we generated T cell\u2013specific, Utx-deficient (Utx KO) mice or Jmjd3-deficient (Jmjd3 KO) mice. Unlike control mice, Utx KO mice had severer symptoms of ACD, whereas Jmjd3 KO mice showed symptoms identical to those in control mice. In Utx KO mice with ACD, the massive infiltration of myeloid cells, including neutrophils and dendritic cells, has been observed. In addition, the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in CD4+ T cells of the draining lymph nodes (LNs) and in CD8+ T cells of the skin was increased in Utx KO mice, whereas the ratio of Foxp3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells to Foxp3\u2212 conventional CD4+ T cells was decreased in both the draining LNs and the skin of Utx KO mice with ACD. Furthermore, Foxp3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells of Utx KO mice with ACD expressed a decreased level of CCR4 (a skin-tropic chemokine receptor) in comparison with control. Thus, in CD4+ T cells, Utx could potentially be involved in the regulation of the pathogenesis of ACD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.2001160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T20:21:38Z","timestamp":1632946898000},"page":"2223-2234","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The Loss of H3K27 Histone Demethylase Utx in T Cells Aggravates Allergic Contact Dermatitis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"207","author":[{"given":"Takashi","family":"Inoue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone and Joint Surgery, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miyuki","family":"Omori-Miyake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infections and Host Defenses, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saho","family":"Maruyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8618-6859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masataka","family":"Okabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, The Jikei University School of Medicine , Tokyo ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Kuwahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Immunology, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4617-9670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroaki","family":"Honda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Laboratory Animals, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University , Tokyo ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiromasa","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bone and Joint Surgery, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masakatsu","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infections and Host Defenses, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine , Ehime ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025022610322082400_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.13119","article-title":"Prevalence of contact allergy in the general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"80","author":"Alinaghi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Contact Dermat."},{"key":"2025022610322082400_r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.13327","article-title":"Nickel allergy and allergic contact dermatitis: a clinical review of immunology, epidemiology, exposure, and treatment","volume":"81","author":"Ahlstr\u00f6m","year":"2019","journal-title":"Contact Dermat."},{"key":"2025022610322082400_r3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1038\/nri3150","article-title":"Early immune events in the induction of allergic contact dermatitis","volume":"12","author":"Kaplan","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nat.
