Th17 cells are critically involved in host defense, inflammation, and autoimmunity1?5. TGF-? is instrumental in Th17 differentiation by cooperating with IL-66,7. Yet, the mechanism of how TGF-? enables Th17 differentiation remains elusive. Here we reveal that TGF-? licenses Th17 differentiation by releasing Ski-Smad4-complex suppressed ROR?t expression. We found serendipitously that, unlike wild-type T cells, Smad4-deficient T cells differentiated into Th17 cells in the absence of TGF-? signaling in a ROR?t-dependent manner. Ectopic Smad4 expression suppressed the ROR?t expression and Th17 differentiation of Smad4-deficient T cells. Unexpectedly however, TGF-? neutralized Smad4 mediated suppression without affecting Smad4 binding to Rorc locus. Proteomic analysis revealed that Smad4 interacted with Ski, a transcriptional repressor degraded upon TGF-? stimulation. Ski controlled the histone acetylation/de-acetylation of Rorc locus and Th17 differentiation via Smad4 because ectopic Ski expression inhibited H3K9Ac of Rorc locus, Rorc expression and Th17 differentiation in a Smad4-dependent manner. Therefore, TGF-?-induced disruption of Ski releases Ski-Smad4 complex imposed suppression of ROR?t to license Th17 differentiation. This study reveals a critical mechanism by which TGF-? controls Th17 differentiation and uncovers Ski-Smad4 axis as a potential therapeutic target for treating Th17 related diseases.
