question: Is there a role for TET proteins in invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) cell fate?
answer: Yes. Tet2-TET proteins regulate the lineage specification and TCR-mediated expansion of iNKT cells. TETs are ubiquitously expressed and play diverse roles in gene regulation, imprinting, insulation, intra/interchromosomal interactions, nuclear compartmentalisation, and alternative splicing. Depletion of Tet2 and its ligand, Tet3, from mouse CD4CD8 double-positive thymus-derived cardiomyocytes (iNKT) resulted in dysregulated development and proliferation, with increased expression of tumour suppressor genes and decreased
