Susceptibility and development of Th2 cells in BALB/c mice infected
with Leishmania major result from early IL-4 production
by V
4V
8 CD4+ T cells in response to the
Leishmania homolog of mammalian RACK1 Ag. A role
for CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in the control
of this early IL-4 production was investigated by depleting in vivo
this regulatory T cell population. Depletion induced an increase in the
early burst of IL-4 mRNA in the draining lymph nodes of BALB/c mice,
and exacerbated the course of disease with higher levels of IL-4 mRNA
and protein in their lymph nodes. We further showed that transfer of
107 BALB/c spleen cells that were depleted of
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells rendered SCID mice
susceptible to infection and allowed Th2 differentiation while SCID
mice reconstituted with 107 control BALB/c spleen cells
were resistant to infection with L. major and developed
a Th1 response. Treatment with a mAb against IL-4 upon infection with
L. major in SCID mice reconstituted with CD25-depleted
spleen cells prevented the development of Th2 polarization and rendered
them resistant to infection. These results demonstrate that
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells play a role in
regulating the early IL-4 mRNA and the subsequent development of a Th2
response in this model of infection.
