Abstrakt: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an immune-mediated liver disease of unknown pathogenesis, with a high risk to develop cirrhosis and malignancies. Functional dysregulation of T cells and association with genetic polymorphisms in T cell-related genes were previously reported for PSC. Here, we genotyped a representative PSC cohort for several disease-associated risk loci and identified rs56258221 (BACH2/MIR4464) to correlate with not only the peripheral blood T cell immunophenotype but also the functional capacities of naive CD4 + T (CD4 + T N ) cells in people with PSC. Mechanistically, rs56258221 leads to an increased expression of miR4464, in turn causing attenuated translation of BACH2, a major gatekeeper of T cell quiescence. Thereby, the fate of CD4 + T N is skewed toward polarization into pro-inflammatory subsets. Clinically, people with PSC carrying rs56258221 show signs of accelerated disease progression. The data presented here highlight the importance of assigning functional outcomes to disease-associated genetic polymorphisms as potential drivers of diseases.
