In type 1 diabetes, the appearance of islet autoantibodies indicates the onset of islet autoimmunity, often many years before clinical symptoms arise. While T cells play a major role in the destruction of pancreatic beta cells, molecular underpinnings promoting aberrant T cell activation remain poorly understood. Here, we show that during islet autoimmunity an miR142-3p/Tet2/Foxp3 axis interferes with the efficient induction of regulatory T (Treg) cells, resulting in impaired Treg stability in mouse and human. Specifically, we demonstrate that miR142-3p is induced in islet autoimmunity and that its inhibition enhances Treg induction and stability, leading to reduced islet autoimmunity in non-obese diabetic mice. Using various cellular and molecular approaches we identify Tet2 as a direct target of miR142-3p, thereby linking high miR142-3p levels to epigenetic remodeling in Tregs. These findings offer a mechanistic model where during islet autoimmunity miR142-3p/Tet2-mediated Treg instability contributes to autoimmune activation and progression.
