-Producing Regulatory T Cells from CD4+CD25- Precursors1
Division of Rheumatology and Immunology, Department of Medicine, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90033
Previously we reported that TGF-
has an important role in the
generation and expansion of human "professional"
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in the periphery
that have a cytokine-independent mechanism of action. In this study we
used low-dose staphylococcal enterotoxin to induce T cell-dependent Ab
production. We report that TGF-
induces activated
CD4+CD25- T cells to become Th3 suppressor
cells. While stimulating CD4+ cells with TGF-
modestly
increased expression of CD25 and intracellular CTLA-4 in primary
cultures, upon secondary stimulation without TGF-
the total number
and those expressing these markers dramatically increased. This
expansion was due to both increased proliferation and protection of
these cells from activation-induced apoptosis. Moreover, adding as few
as 1% of these TGF-
-primed CD4+ T cells to fresh
CD4+ cells and B cells markedly suppressed IgG production.
The inhibitory effect was mediated by TGF-
and was also partially
contact dependent. Increased TGF-
production was associated with a
decreased production of IFN-
and IL-10. Depletion studies revealed
that the precursors of these TGF-
-producing CD4+
suppressor cells were CD25 negative. These studies provide evidence
that CD4+CD25+ regulatory cells in human blood
consist of at least two subsets that have TGF-
-dependent and
independent mechanisms of action. TGF-
has an essential role in the
generation of both of these T suppressor cell subsets from peripheral T
cells. The ability to induce CD4+ and CD8+
cells to become regulatory cells ex vivo has the potential to be useful
in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent transplant
rejection.
