Résumé
The changes of transcription factor activity and chromatin dynamics guide functional differentiation of T cell subsets, including commitment to short-lived effectors and long-term survival of memory T cells. Understanding the lineage relationships among the different stages of effector and memory differentiation has profound therapeutic implications for the development of new vaccine and immunotherapy protocols. Here we review the contribution of chromatin architecture to T cell specification, focusing on the interplay between epigenetic changes and transcriptional programs linked to T cell plasticity, commitment and memory. We will also discuss the translational implications of epigenetic control in the context of infections and cancer.
