Peptide-Specific CD8 T Regulatory Cells Use IFN-{gamma} to Elaborate TGF-{beta}-Based Suppression1

We identified a murine peptide-specific CD8 T regulatory cell population able to suppress responding CD4 T cells. Immunization with OVA, poly(I:C), and anti-4-1BB generated a population of SIINFEKL-specific CD8 T regulatory cells that profoundly inhibited peptide-responding CD4 T cells from cellular division. The mechanism of suppression required IFN-{gamma}, but IFN-{gamma} alone was not sufficient to suppress the responding CD4 T cells. The data show that CD8 T regulatory cells were unable to suppress unless they engaged IFN-{gamma}. Furthermore, even in the absence of recall with peptide, the CD8 T regulatory cells suppressed CD4 responses as long as IFN-{gamma} was present. To examine the effector mechanism of suppression, we showed that neutralizing TGF-{beta} inhibited suppression because inclusion of anti-TGF-{beta} rescued the proliferative capacity of the responding cells. TGF-{beta}-based suppression was dependent completely upon the CD8 T regulatory cells being capable of binding IFN-{gamma}. This was the case, although peptide recall of primed IFN-{gamma} –/– or IFN-{gamma}R–/– CD8 T cells up-regulated pro-TGF-{beta} protein as measured by surface latency-associated peptide expression but yet were unable to suppress. Finally, we asked whether the CD8 T regulatory cells were exposed to active TGF-{beta} in vivo and showed that only wild-type CD8 T regulatory cells expressed the TGF-{beta}-dependent biomarker CD103, suggesting that latency-associated peptide expression is not always congruent with elaboration of active TGF-{beta}. These data define a novel mechanism whereby IFN-{gamma} directly stimulates CD8 T regulatory cells to elaborate TGF-{beta}-based suppression. Ultimately, this mechanism may permit regulation of pathogenic Th1 responses by CD8 T regulatory cells.
