Moreover, adoptive transfer of iTregs with HSF1 stabilization by proteasome inhibitor (PSI) dramatically prevented the development of colitis in mice and was accompanied by decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced accumulation of pro-inflammatory lymphocytes in colitis tissue, whereas Tregs induced in the absence of PSI were less stable and ineffective in suppressing colitis. This evidence concerns the gene HSF1 and colitis.
