Mutations in the CD40 ligand (CD40L) gene lead to X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM, which is often associated with autoimmune diseases. To determine the contribution of defective CD40-CD40L interactions to T cell autoreactivity, we reconstituted CD40-CD40L interactions by transferring T cells from CD40-deficient mice to syngenic athymic nude mice and assessed autoimmunity. T cells from CD40-deficient mice triggered autoimmune diseases accompanied with elevations of various autoantibodies, while those from wild-type mice did not. In CD40-deficient mice, the CD25+ CD45RBlow CD4+ subpopulation which regulates T cell autoreactivity was markedly reduced. CD40-deficient APCs failed to induce T regulatory cells 1 producing high levels of an inhibitory cytokine, IL-10 in vitro. Furthermore, autoimmune development was inhibited when T cells from CD40-deficient mice were cotransferred with CD45RBlow CD4+ T cells from wild-type mice or with T regulatory cells 1 induced on CD40-expressing APCs. Collectively, our results indicate that CD40-CD40L interactions contribute to negative regulation of T cell autoreactivity and that defective interactions can lead to autoimmunity.
