ABSTRACT: Th17 cells can transdifferentiate into other T cell subsets in the context of infections or inflammatory conditions. In many autoimmune diseases, autoantigen-specific Th17 cells play a pivotal role in disease pathogenesis, however, there have been no attempts to target Th17 cell plasticity using vaccines. We aimed to change the phenotype of existing Th17 cells by a protein-in-adjuvant approach and found that antigen formulated in all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-containing cationic liposomes (CAF16) effectively inhibited existing Th17 responses. Strikingly, transcriptomic analysis of sorted Th17 cells from IL-17 fate reporter mice revealed a shift of antigen-specific Th17 cells to exTh17 cells, expressing functional markers associated with T cell regulation and tolerance. In addition, vaccination with myelin-specific (MOG) antigen in CAF16 reduced Th17 responses and alleviated disease in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model of MS. This highlights CAF16 as a novel delivery system for ATRA with potential for changing the phenotype of existing Th17 cells in the context of immune mediated diseases.
