Ctgf, Foxp3, Runx1, and Tsc22d1 genes and suppression of the Id2 gene; such effects were
similar to those by TGF-ß. In particular, HBZ induced Foxp3 expression in naive T cells
through Smad3-dependent TGF-ß signaling. Our results suggest that HBZ, by enhancing
TGF-ß signaling and Foxp3 expression, enables HTLV-1 to convert infected T cells into
regulatory T cells, which is thought to be a critical strategy for virus persistence.(Blood. 2011;
