Th17 cells express interleukin-10 receptor and are controlled by Foxp3? and Foxp3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells in an interleukin-10-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT: T helper 17 (Th17) cells are important for host defense against extracellular microorganisms. However, they are also implicated in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, and as such need to be tightly regulated. The mechanisms that directly control committed pathogenic Th17 cells in vivo remain unclear. We showed here that IL-17A-producing CD4+ T cells expressed interleukin-10 receptor ? (IL-10R?) in vivo. Importantly, T cell-specific blockade of IL-10 signaling led to a selective increase of IL-17A+IFN-?? (Th17) and IL-17A+IFN-?+ (Th17+Th1) CD4+ T cells during intestinal inflammation in the small intestine. CD4+Foxp3? IL-10-producing (Tr1) cells and CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory (Treg) cells were able to control Th17 and Th17+Th1 cells in an IL-10-dependent manner in vivo. Lastly, IL-10 treatment of mice with established colitis decreased Th17 and Th17+Th1 cell frequencies via direct signaling in T cells. Thus, IL-10 signaling directly suppresses Th17 and Th17+Th1 cells.

However, they are also implicated in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, and as such need to be tightly regulated. The mechanisms that directly control committed pathogenic Th17 cells in vivo remain unclear. We showed here that IL-17A-producing CD4+ T cells expressed interleukin-10 receptor α (IL-10Rα) in vivo.

Project description:CCR5 is a CC chemokine receptor involved in the migration of effector leukocytes including macrophages, NK, and T cells into inflamed tissues. Also, the role of CCR5 in CD4(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell (Treg) homing has recently begun to grab attention. Japanese encephalitis (JE) is defined as severe neuroinflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) following infection with mosquito-borne flavivirus JE virus. However, the potential contribution of CCR5 to JE progression via mediating CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Treg homing has not been investigated.Infected wild-type (Ccr5(+/+)) and CCR5-deficient (Ccr5(-/-)) mice were examined daily for mortality and clinical signs, and neuroinflammation in the CNS was evaluated by infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes and cytokine expression. In addition, viral burden, NK- and JEV-specific T cell responses were analyzed. Adoptive transfer of CCR5(+)CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs was used to evaluate the role of Tregs in JE progression.CCR5 ablation exacerbated JE without altering viral burden in the extraneural and CNS tissues, as manifested by increased CNS infiltration of Ly-6C(hi) monocytes and Ly-6G(hi) granulocytes. Compared to Ccr5(+/+) mice, Ccr5(-/-) mice unexpectedly showed increased responses of IFN-?(+)NK and CD8(+) T cells in the spleen, but not CD4(+) T cells. More interestingly, CCR5-ablation resulted in a skewed response to IL-17(+)CD4(+) Th17 cells and correspondingly reduced CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs in the spleen and brain, which was closely associated with exacerbated JE. Our results also revealed that adoptive transfer of sorted CCR5(+)CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs into Ccr5(-/-) mice could ameliorate JE progression without apparently altering the viral burden and CNS infiltration of IL-17(+)CD4(+) Th17 cells, myeloid-derived Ly-6C(hi) monocytes and Ly-6G(hi) granulocytes. Instead, adoptive transfer of CCR5(+)CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs into Ccr5(-/-) mice resulted in increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-?) in the spleen and brain, and transferred CCR5(+) Tregs were found to produce IL-10.CCR5 regulates JE progression via governing timely and appropriate CNS infiltration of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs, thereby facilitating host survival. Therefore, this critical and extended role of CCR5 in JE raises possible safety concerns regarding the use of CCR5 antagonists in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals who inhabit regions in which both HIV and flaviviruses, such as JEV and West Nile virus, are endemic.
