Furthermore, though both dexamethasone and IL-4 alter the amount of CBP/P300 histone acetylase binding and histone H3 acetylation at the CSF2 promoter in both control and T1D monocytes, neither abolished RNA Polymerase II recruitment at these sites in autoimmune cells, suggesting that gene expression could go forward even in these conditions. This evidence concerns the gene IL4 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
