Variants of the Bach2 gene are linked to vitiligo, celiac disease and type I diabetes, but the underlying immunological mechanisms are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Bach2 plays crucial roles in maintaining T cell quiescence, and governing the differentiation, activation, and survival of foxp3+ Treg cells. Bach2-deficient T cells display spontaneous activation and produce elevated levels of TH1/TH2 type cytokines. Without Bach2, Treg cells exhibit diminished foxp3 expression, depleted numbers, hyper-activation, enhanced proliferation and profound loss of competitive fitness in vivo. Mechanistically, reduced survival of Bach2-deficient Treg cells was associated with reduced Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 levels and elevated Bim:Bcl-2 ratio. Additionally, Bach2 deficiency induced selective loss of Helios− foxp3+ Treg cells and a Treg cell transcriptome skewed towards the TH1/TH2 effector program at the expense of the Treg program. In vitro experiments confirmed that Bach2: (1) is indispensable for TCR/TGF-β-induced foxp3 expression and (2) mitigates aberrant differentiation of Treg cells by repression of the competing Gata3-driven TH2 effector program. Importantly, perturbations in the differentiation of induced Treg cells was linked to a fatal TH2 type chronic inflammatory lung disease in Bach2-deficient mice. Thus, Bach2 enforces T cell quiescence, promotes the development and survival of Treg lineage, restrains aberrant differentiation of Treg cells and protects against immune -mediated diseases.
