To examine the role of CTLA-4 in Th cell differentiation, we used
two newly generated CTLA-4-deficient (CTLA-4-/-) mouse
strains: DO11.10 CTLA-4-/- mice carrying a class II
restricted transgenic TCR specific for OVA, and mice lacking CTLA-4,
B7.1 and B7.2 (CTLA-4-/- B7.1/B7.2-/- ).
When purified naive CD4+ DO11.10 T cells from
CTLA-4-/- and wild-type mice were primed and restimulated
in vitro with peptide Ag, CTLA-4-/- DO11.10 T cells
developed into Th2 cells, whereas wild-type DO11.10 T cells developed
into Th1 cells. Similarly, when CTLA-4-/-
CD4+ T cells from mice lacking CTLA-4, B7.1, and B7.2 were
stimulated in vitro with anti-CD3 Ab and wild-type APC, these
CTLA-4-/- CD4+ T cells produced IL-4 even
during the primary stimulation, whereas CD4+ cells from
B7.1/B7.2-/- mice did not produce IL-4. Upon secondary
stimulation, CD4+ T cells from CTLA-4-/-
B7.1/B7.2-/- mice secreted high levels of IL-4, whereas
CD4+ T cells from B7.1/B7.2-/- mice produced
IFN-
. In contrast to the effects on CD4+ Th
differentiation, the absence of CTLA-4 resulted in only a modest effect
on T cell proliferation, and increased proliferation of
CTLA-4-/- CD4+ T cells was seen only during
secondary stimulation in vitro. Administration of a stimulatory
anti-CD28 Ab in vivo induced IL-4 production in
CTLA-4-/- B7.1/B7.2-/- but not wild-type
mice. These studies demonstrate that CTLA-4 is a critical and potent
inhibitor of Th2 differentiation. Thus, the B7-CD28/CTLA-4 pathway
plays a critical role in regulating Th2 differentiation in two ways:
CD28 promotes Th2 differentiation while CTLA-4 limits Th2
differentiation.
