Low Dose TGF-ß Attenuates IL-12 Responsiveness in Murine Th Cells1

Expression of IL-12Rs is one important checkpoint for Th1 development. BALB/c DO11.10 CD4+ T cells stimulated by Ag in neutral conditions lose expression of the IL-12R ß2 subunit and become unresponsive to IL-12. In contrast, B10.D2 or F1 (BALB/c x B10.D2) DO11.10 CD4+ T cells maintain IL-12Rß2 expression when stimulated similarly. Here we show that the loss of IL-12 responsiveness by BALB/c T cells involves the action of endogenous TGF-ß. BALB/c T cells stimulated in the presence of anti-TGF-ß specifically maintain IL-12 responsiveness, express IL-12Rß2 mRNA, and can stimulate nitric oxide production in peritoneal exudate cells. Low concentrations of TGF-ß added exogenously during primary activation of B10.D2 or F1 T cells significantly inhibit their development of IL-12 responsiveness. These effects of anti-TGF-ß are dependent on endogenous IFN-{gamma} and are inhibited by exogenously added IL-4. Thus, at least one effect of TGF-ß on Th1/Th2 development may be the attenuation of IL-12Rß2 expression.
