The mTORC1-4E-BP-eIF4E axis controls de novo Bcl6 protein synthesis in T cells and systemic autoimmunity

Excessive expansion of the T follicular helper (TFH) cell pool is associated with autoimmune disease and Def6 has been identified as an SLE risk variant. Here the authors show that Def6 limits proliferation of TFH cells in mice via alteration of mTORC1 signaling and inhibition of Bcl6 expression.
