2-treated Ag-pulsed APC mimic APC from the immune privileged eye, and provide signals that generate regulatory T (Tr) cells and mediate peripheral tolerance. We postulated that TGF-2-treated Ag-pulsed APC (tolerogenic APC (tol-APC)) might also orchestrate regulation of immune mediated pathogenesis in nonimmune privileged tissues such as the lung. We used an adoptive transfer model of autoimmune pulmonary interstitial fibrosis called hapten immune pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (ADT-HIPIF) in this study. Mice that received 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-sensitized cells and challenged (intratracheally) with the hapten developed pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. However, transfer (i.v.) of TGF-2-treated 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-pulsed bone marrow-derived APC (tol-APC) to experimental mice 1 day after intratracheal challenge reduced the collagen deposition in the interstitium of the lung that usually follows challenge. Furthermore, ADT-HIPIF mice that received tol-APC developed Ag-specific efferent CD8+ Tr cells. Adoptive transfer of the Tr cells to another set of presensitized mice mediated suppression of the efferent phase of Th1 immune response and the subsequent immune dependent pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Thus, tol-APC induced efferent CD8+ Tr cells in immune mice, and the regulation of the immune response limited the development of autoimmune pulmonary fibrosis in sensitized and pulmonary-challenged mice. Because ADT-HIPIF shares etiological and pathological characteristics with a variety of human immune inflammatory conditions in the lung that eventuate into interstitial fibrosis, these studies provide insight into potential therapy to alter the course of pulmonary fibrosis in humans. |

2, vasoactive intestinal peptide, 
-melanocyte stimulating hormone, and calcitonin gene-related peptide), such as those within the local environment of immune privileged sites, induce tolerance instead of immune inflammation when they present Ags (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Tolerance-inducing mechanisms of the eye are well studied. Indigenous APC capture Ags that are injected into the anterior chamber of the eye, carry them through blood, and present them to T cells in the marginal zone of the spleen. Eye-derived APC by default provide tolerogenic signals (enhanced production of TGF-1 and 2, IL-10, thrombospondin, and macrophage-inflammatory protein 2) during Ag presentation and induce the generation of efferent CD8+ T regulatory (Tr)3 cells with the collaboration of NKT cells and marginal zone B cells (1, 2, 3, 6).
Soluble factors such as TGF-2 influence APC function by blocking up-regulation of costimulatory molecule CD40 on the APC, reducing their IL-12 production, and promoting IL-10, TGF-, and thrombospondin production (7, 8, 9, 10, 11). Subsequently, TGF-2-treated APC that are pulsed with Ag, in vitro or in vivo, prevent development of Th1 and Th2 inflammatory responses and instead generate Tr cells that mediate peripheral tolerance (12).
In this study, we report that TGF-2-treated Ag-pulsed bone marrow-derived APC are tolerogenic (tol-APC), mimic eye-derived APC (4, 13), and promote peripheral tolerance to Ags responsible for immune inflammation in the lung, a nonimmune privileged site. Currently, the only model for study of immune mechanisms that induce autoimmune pulmonary interstitial fibrosis is the hapten immune pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (HIPIF) model (14, 15, 16). A modification of HIPIF is the adoptive transfer (ADT) HIPIF model used in this study. Donor mice are sensitized by epicutaneous application hapten, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS), and recipient mice are sensitized by adoptive transfer of spleen and draining lymph node cells collected from donor mice. The recipient mice are then challenged intratracheally (i.t.) 1 day later, and clinical symptoms are assessed 7–21 days later. Our previous publication indicates that the fibrosis in the recipient mice is detectable as early as day 7 and peaked at day 14 after i.t. challenge (15). Because the fibrosis is dependent on a chronic immune response against altered (hapten) self Ags developing in the lung and is long lasting, the ADT-HIPIF model represents autoimmune mediated fibrosis and has many similarities to human idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and sarcoidosis (15, 17, 18). The elicitation of ADT-HIPIF requires the interactions of dendritic cells (DCs) and activated T cells (19, 20). After i.t. challenge, CD40bright DCs also express MHC IIhigh, interact with activated T cells, enhance IL-12 and TNF- production, and elicit a Th1-mediated immune response and subsequent development of fibrosis in the ADT-HIPIF lung (20). Ab-neutralizing TNF- suppresses the development of fibrosis in the ADT-HIPIF lung (19). Although a Th2 immune response exists in the lung of some idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis patients and Th2 type of cytokine IL-4 is detected in some pulmonary interstitial fibrosis models (21, 22, 23), but not in the ADT-HIPIF, the involvement of the fibrogenic cytokine TNF- is common in all these models. Furthermore, the characteristics of the Th1-mediated chronic immune response in the ADT-HIPIF lung resemble the manifestations of pulmonary sarcoidosis (24).
A similar model of hapten-immune mediated pathogenesis has been quite valuable in the study of immune mediated inflammation of the intestine (10, 25). Haptens or small reactive chemicals are ubiquitous within the urban and rural environments, thereby making it possible that autoimmune mediated pulmonary interstitial fibrosis could actually be induced by small reactive chemicals. It is important to note that idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis is of unknown etiology; thereby, the potential for the pathology being driven by a chronic autoimmune response is plausible.
Previous reports show that tolerogenic peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) are generated by treating thioglycolate-induced PEC with TGF-2 and pulsing with Ag. Tolerogenic PEC induce the generation of CD8+ efferent Tr cells in the spleen of presensitized mice (5). In this study, we show for the first time that similar treatment of bone marrow-derived APC induces tolerance in a model of ongoing immune mediated fibrogenic response in the lung (ADT-HIPIF).

Female BALB/c ByJ mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and maintained in the Schepens Eye Research Institute Vivarium until they reached the desired weight (20–24 g) for the experiments. All animals were treated humanely in accordance with National Institutes of Health guidelines and the approval of the Schepens Animal Care and Use Committee.
Reagents
TNBS, 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNFB), picryl chloride (TNCB), oxazalone, controlled processed serum replacement factor 1, and tissue culture grade BSA were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Porcine TGF-2 were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Ascites of CD4- and CD8-depleting Ab (clones GK1.5 and 2.43, respectively) were generated in the laboratory. Baby rabbit complement was purchased from Cedarlane Laboratories distributed by Accurate Chemical (Westbury, NY).
Animal model
ADT-HIPIF. Donor mice were skin sensitized with 100 µl of 3% TNBS. Five to seven days after skin sensitization, spleen and draining lymph nodes (axillary, inguinal, and brachial) were harvested and dissociated into a single cell suspension. After the cell count and viability check by trypan blue exclusion method, mixtures of spleen and lymph node cells from donor mice were adoptively transferred to recipient mice. The spleen and lymph node cells from naive mice were similarly collected and adoptively transferred as control. Recipient mice were irradiated (200 rad, Mark 1 irradiator; J. L. Shepherd and Associates, Glendale, CA) 24 h before donor cells (3 x 107/mouse) were inoculated into the tail vein. One day after the adoptive transfer, recipient mice were challenged (i.t.) with 50 µl of 1% TNBS in PBS (15, 20).
Generation of bone marrow-derived APC
APC were generated by culturing mouse bone marrow cells with L929 cell-conditioned medium for 6 days (26, 27). Mouse bone marrow cells were collected from femurs and cultured in growth medium (GM: DMEM supplemented with 10% horse serum, 10% controlled-processed serum replacement factor 1, vitamins, L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acid, penicillin/streptomycin, and 10% L929 cell-conditioned medium (source of CSF-1)) for 6 days in tissue culture plates or petri dishes. The majority of APC generated in petri dishes are nonadherent. After culturing, the adherent cells, loosely adherent cells, and nonadherent cells were collected by gentle scraping with a rubber policeman. Cell viability (checked by the trypan blue exclusion method) was greater than 90% in all experiments. Over 95% of the APC were F4/80 and CD11b positive by flow cytometry analysis.
Tol-APC treatment
Tol-APC were generated by treating bone marrow-derived APC overnight with TGF-2 (5 ng/ml) in serum-free medium (SFM; RPMI 1640 medium, 10 mM HEPES, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin, 0.1% BSA, and 1x insulin-transferrin-selenium supplement (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY)) (1, 6). Phenotypes (MHC II, CD40, B7.2, and CD11c surface expression) of tol-APC and APC in GM and SFM were monitored in each experiment by flow cytometric analyses. Tol-APC were pulsed with 1 mM TNBS or 0.002% oxazalone and transferred (i.v. 5 x 105/100 µl HBSS/mouse) to recipient mice either 1 day before or 1 day after i.t. challenge in ADT-HIPIF mice.
Flow cytometry analyses
Cells in staining buffer (PBS, 1% BSA, 0.1% sodium azide) were incubated with blocking reagent (Fc blocker, 2 µg/106 cells; rat IgG, 20 µg/106 cells) and then PE anti-CD40 (3/23), PE anti-CD11c (HL3), PE anti-CD11b (M1/70.15), FITC anti-F4/80, biotin anti-MHC II (2G9), or biotin anti-B7.2 (GL1) (1 µg/106 cell), followed by FITC streptavidin. FITC rat IgG2b, PE rat IgG2a and 2b, PE hamster IgG, and biotin rat IgG2a were used as isotype controls. All cells were incubated on ice for 20–30 min and washed twice before the next reagent was added. The samples were analyzed by flow cytometry (EPICS XL; Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL).
T cell enrichment and Ab plus complement treatment
T cells were enriched using T cell column that was packed in the laboratory using goat anti-mouse IgG-coated IMMULAN beads (Biotecx Laboratories, Houston, TX). After enrichment, the percentages of T cells were monitored by CD4 plus CD8 staining and flow cytometric analyses. Together, CD4+ and CD8+ cells account for 
80% cells.
Cells (107/ml) were resuspended in complete medium (RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, 1 mM nonessential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin). Ab ascites (GK1.5 or 2.43) (1/500 dilution) were added into the cell suspensions that were then incubated for 40 min on ice. The cells were washed, and baby rabbit complement (1/10 dilution) was added into the cell suspensions before 30-min incubation at 37°C. In all the experiments, cells were treated with two rounds of Ab plus complement to ensure the depletion of either CD4+ or CD8+ T cells. The depletion of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was confirmed by staining the cells with either CD4 (RM4-4) or CD8 (53-6.7) recognizing Ab and flow cytometry analyses.
Contact hypersensitivity (CH) ear-swelling assay
Mice were skin sensitized with hapten TNBS (3%, 100 µl/mouse) or DNFB (0.5%, 25 µl/mouse). Five to six days after skin sensitization, the ears of the mice were painted with either TNCB (1% in acetone, 20 µl/ear) or DNFB (0.05% in acetone, 20 µl/ear). The ear thickness was measured using an engineering micrometer (Mitutoyo, Paramus, NJ) before and 24 h after the ear challenge. The change (
) of ear swelling = ear thickness measured at 24 h after ear challenge - ear thickness measured before ear challenge.
Local adoptively transferred delayed-type hypersensitivity (LAT-DTH) assay
Effector cells (sensitized T cells, 5 x 105), regulatory cells (5 x 105), and TNBS-pulsed PEC (5 x 105) were resuspended in 10 µl HBSS and then injected intradermally into the ear pinnae of a naive mouse (1, 5). PEC were obtained from mice that received i.p. 2.5 ml thioglycolate (Difco, Detroit, MI) 3 days before and cultured in SFM overnight. The adherent cells were collected by vigorous pipeting and pulsed with TNBS (1 mM) for 20–30 min at 37°C in RPMI 1640 and washed with HBSS twice. The ear swelling was measured and calculated as CH ear-swelling assay.
Hydroxyproline assay
Changes in collagen deposition in the lung were measured by a colorimetric hydroxyproline assay (28). In brief, lungs recovered from the experimental mice were minced and hydrolyzed in 6 N HCl (2 ml/lung) for 16 h at 110°C. The samples were filtered through Whatman number 1 filter paper, diluted with H2O, neutralized with 10 N NaOH, and assessed spectrophotometrically. The amount of hydroxyproline in the lung was calculated according to the standard curve that was generated using a serial dilution of trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (Sigma-Aldrich). The change () of lung hydroxyproline was calculated as experimental hydroxyproline - baseline hydroxyproline and compared among experimental groups. The baseline hydroxyproline was the mean value of hydroxyproline from five naive mice.
Lung histological examination
Lungs from experimental and control mice were harvested 14 days after i.t. challenge, inflated, and fixed in 10% buffered Formalin. The processing and staining of the lung sections were done by Histo-Scientific Research Laboratories (Woodstock, VA). In brief, the fixed lungs were paraffin embedded, sectioned (4 µm) longitudinally through all five lobes. The sequential lung sections were stained with either H&E for cellular infiltration or Masson’s Trichrome for definitive identification of collagen. The digital images of stained lung sections were captured under microscopy (Nikon Eclipse E800, bright field, x20 and x200) using Spot digital camera (Diagnostic Instruments, Sterling Heights, MI). The results were processed on Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (Adobe Systems, Mountain View, CA).
Statistical analyses
ANOVA posthoc Scheffe’s test was used to evaluate the difference among experimental groups. Value of p 
0.05 was considered significant. Each group contained five mice. The data are presented as mean ± SEM. An asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant difference between two groups. Each result shown is a representative of two to three experiments.

2-treated TNBS-pulsed bone marrow-derived APC suppress ongoing HIPIF
Previously, it was shown that TGF-2-treated, Ag-pulsed (tolerogenic) PEC given i.v. induced the generation of efferent Tr cells in the spleen that suppressed Ag-specific DTH responses and production of complement-fixing Abs (4, 29). We tested whether similar treatment of bone marrow-derived APC produced tolerogenic APC. Bone marrow-derived APC were generated in culture, as described in Materials and Methods. The surface markers and functions of the APC were monitored by flow cytometry analyses and for their ability to suppress immune responses in vivo. APC that were harvested directly after 6 days of culture in GM (GM-APC) expressed low levels of MHC II, CD40, B7.2, and CD11c, and high levels of F4/80 and CD11b on their surface (Fig 1a). Although the GM that we used had L929-conditioned medium that contained CSF-1 and was similar to the medium for macrophage generation, the APC from our cultures had some characteristics of DCs. After 6 days of growth in petri dishes, the majority of the APC were nonadherent. After LPS treatment, these APC down-regulated the chemokine receptor CCR6 and up-regulated the CCR7 as well as MHC II and CD40 expression (data not shown). Therefore, in this study, we call these bone marrow-derived cells APCs. The switch from GM to SFM (SFM-APC) increased CD40 surface expression on these APC. Addition of TGF-2 (5 ng/ml) to the cultures with SFM (tol-APC) blocked the up-regulation of CD40 on the tol-APC surface (Fig. 1b), but did not change the expression of F4/80 and CD11b (data not shown). The ability of tol-APC to suppress an immune response was tested in a CH ear-swelling assay. Adoptive transfer of TNBS-pulsed tol-APC, but not control APC (GM-APC or SFM-APC), suppressed the CH-induced ear swelling in TNBS-presensitized mice (data not shown).

We postulated that the tol-APC-induced Ag-specific Tr cells that indirectly suppressed the development of fibrosis by regulating the Th1 autoimmune response needed to promote the fibrogenic response. To evaluate the postulate, we assessed both spleen and lung-draining lymph node (LdLN) cells from tol-APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice for their ability to suppress CH. In brief, spleen cells (5 x 107/mouse) and LdLN cells (one mouse equivalent) from either the ADT-HIPIF mice or the ADT-HIPIF mice that received tol-APC were collected 14 days after i.t. challenge and adoptively transferred (i.v.) to TNBS-presensitized mice. One day after the transfer, ears of the recipient mice were painted with the hapten. The ear swelling was measured before challenge and 24 h after challenge. The mice receiving either spleen or LdLN cells from tol-APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice had reduced ear swelling compared with positive control mice or the mice that received spleen cells and LdLN cells from the untreated ADT-HIPIF mice (Fig. 4a). To assess the type of cell mediating the suppression in the CH ear-swelling assay, column-enriched T cells from the LdLN (one mouse equivalent) or spleen (6 x 106/mouse) were adoptively transferred (i.v.) to hapten-sensitized mice 1 day before ear challenge. Ear thickness was measured before the painting and 24 h later. Enriched LdLN T cells from tol-APC-treated HIPIF mice, but not from untreated mice, suppressed the ear-swelling response in recipient mice (Fig. 4b). Enriched splenic T cells from tol-APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice suppressed the ear-swelling CH response in TNBS-presensitized mice, but not DNFB-sensitized mice (Fig. 5a). Enriched T cells from either Ag-pulsed GM-APC or SFM-APC-treated HIPIF mice had no effect on the ear-swelling response. These data indicate that tol-APC induced the generation of Tr cells in LdLN and spleens from the ADT-HIPIF mice. Furthermore, CD4+ or CD8+ cells were depleted from the enriched splenic T cells by treatment with complement and their specific Ab (GK1.5, 2.43, respectively), and the remaining cells were tested for their ability to suppress effector T cell function in a LAT-DTH assay. The enriched whole T cell (5 x 105/mouse), CD8-, or CD4- (equivalent to 5 x 105 enriched T cells/mouse) populations were mixed with effector T cells and TNBS-pulsed PEC and injected into the ear pinnea of a naive mouse. Of the mice that received either CD8- or CD4- T cells, only the CD4- T cells suppressed the CH response, indicating that the Tr cell was CD8+ (Fig. 5b). These data support the concept that adoptive transfer of tol-APC induces an Ag-specific CD8+ efferent Tr cell in the recipient-sensitized mice.

Although above we show that the tol-APC induced a suppression of CH in the ADT-HIPIF model, it remains to be shown that the Tr cells generated also suppress the fibrogenic response. Thus, enriched Tr cells from tol-APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice were transferred to a second set of ADT-HIPIF mice and assessed for fibrosis at various times post-i.t. challenge. As before, enriched splenic T cells (3 x 106/mouse) from the variously APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice as well as CD8-depleted T cells (equivalent to 3 x 106 enriched T cells/mouse) from tol-APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice were harvested 14 days after i.t. challenge and transferred (i.v.) to another set of ADT-HIPIF mice 1 day before i.t. challenge. Splenic CD8+ T cells from tol-APC-treated, but not T cells from any of the other type of Ag-pulsed APC-treated ADT-HIPIF mice suppressed the development of fibrosis in recipient mice (Fig. 6). Thus, tol-APC generate CD8+ Tr cells that suppress the immune response and prevent the subsequent immune mediated fibrogenic response.

is a critical factor for generating the tol-APC. TGF- is a pleiotropic cytokine that has at least two fundamental roles in lung biology. One is that TGF- enhances extracellular matrix production and deposition (8). In several mouse models, TGF-1 is demonstrated as a fibrogenic cytokine that promotes the development of fibrosis by enhancing fibroblasts to produce collagen (21, 30). This event seems to take place within the lung tissue itself. A second role of TGF- is to regulate immune responses (8). TGF-2-treated PEC are able to induce anterior chamber-associated immune deviation and alter the course of the experimental autoimmune uveitis (4, 5). We show in this study that TGF-2-treated Ag-pulsed bone marrow-derived APC, called tol-APC, suppress the development of pulmonary fibrosis by generating Tr cells in peripheral lymphoid organs and prevent chronic autoimmune inflammation in the lung. Although the difference in TGF- function in the lung may be attributed to the TGF- isoform, our data support the idea that the nano-environment in which TGF- is functioning is crucial. That is to say, the TGF- effects on APC and T cell function are in a protected nano-environment of a lymphoid organ and differ from the macro effect of the TGF- delivered to fibroblasts by lung macrophages and other cells within the inflamed tissue.
TGF- is not only crucial for the transformation of naive or immunogenic APC to being tolerogenic, but also is crucial to creating the immune privilege-like nano-environment in which the Tr cells are generated in the lymphoid organ. It is known that TGF-2 treatment of PEC or macrophage hybridomas increases the production of TGF- and thrombospondin-1 and decreases IL-12 and CD40 expression in resulting tolerogenic APC (11, 31). Thrombospondin-1 has the ability to bind and activate TGF-, thus amplifying the response. TGF- is also responsible for maintaining T cell homeostasis, inhibiting T-bet (a master regulator for Th1 differentiation) expression, and prevents T cell differentiation into effector cells (32, 33). TGF- signaling in T cells prevents mice from developing autoimmune diseases (32).
The Tr cells that are generated by treatment of mice with tol-APC may regulate immune responses by cell-cell contact, and/or soluble factors (34, 35, 36, 37). It was shown previously that IL-10 is critical for the regulatory effect of CD8+ Tr cells generated by s.c. injection of immature human DCs (38). However, CD8+ Tr cells that are generated by tolerogenic PEC showed no increase in IL-10 production (39, 40). Thus, the possibility arises that CD8+ Tr cells in mice generated by tol-APC may function differently from the CD8+ Tr cells generated by immature human DCs.
It is known that CD8+ Tr cells generated by TGF-2-treated PEC produce large amount of active TGF- that is critical for the suppression of DTH ear-swelling response. Therefore, the CD8+ Tr cells in ADT-HIPIF mice may directly suppress CD4+ T effector cells important for the development of HIPIF, by releasing TGF- in the lymphoid organs. Furthermore, because the suppression is Ag specific, possibility is raised that the suppression by the CD8+ Tr cells involves Ag presentation. Possibly, CD8+ Tr cells transform APC into tol-APC, which then deactivate or anergize CD4+ effector cells. In either situation, the effect of CD8+ Tr cells can lead to the suppression of inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung and the reduction of their fibrogenic cytokine (TNF-) production.
This is the first study to demonstrate that: 1) TGF- treatment of bone marrow-derived APC induces them to become tolerogenic and therefore mimic eye-derived APC, and 2) tol-APC suppress chronic immune responses and the subsequent pathogenesis in a nonimmune privileged site. We provided evidence that tolerance was affected by Ag-specific efferent CD8+ Tr cells. Thus, opportunities may arise in the future when application of this knowledge will be feasible and tol-APC may become a basis for immunotherapy of autoimmune diseases.
