Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) damage by T cells contributes to alloimmune, autoimmune and iatrogenic diseases such as graft-versus-host and inflammatory bowel disease. Here the authors identify a critical role for the alteration of the IEC-specific mitochondrial complex II component succinate dehydrogenase A in the regulation of the severity of T cell-mediated intestinal diseases.
