We have found that, in response to interferon gamma (IFNG), mouse Sertoli cells strongly up-regulate the negative co-stimulatory ligand B7-H1 but remain devoid of positive co-stimulatory molecules.

Blockade of B7-H1 on the Sertoli cell surface resulted in enhanced proliferation of CD8(+) T cells cocultured with Sertoli cells.

Moreover, IFNG-stimulated Sertoli cells were found to express, concurrent with B7-H1, MHC class II.

Interestingly, we found that coculturing T cells with Sertoli cells can indeed induce an increase in CD4(+)CD25(+)(officially known as IL2RA)FOXP3(+) Tregs and a decrease in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells, suggesting Sertoli cell-mediated Treg conversion; this process was found to be B7-H1-independent.

Altogether these data show that Sertoli cells are potentially capable of down-regulating the local immune response, on one hand by directly inhibiting CD8(+) T cell proliferation through B7-H1 and, on the other hand, by inducing an increase in Tregs that might suppress other bystander T cells.

End-organ damage in a mouse model of fulminant liver inflammation requires CD4+ T cell production of IFN-gamma but is independent of Fas.

|
The BALB/c-Tgfb1(-/-) mouse exhibits extensive, spontaneously developing necroinflammation in the liver, accompanied by the accumulation of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.

|
In Tgfb1(-/-) liver, CD4(+) T cells were more numerous than CD8(+) T cells and NK cells, and produced more IFN-gamma.
|

|
Depletion of CD4(+) T cells eliminated both the elevation in plasma IFN-gamma and aspartate aminotransferase, whereas depletion of CD8(+) T cells did not.
|

|
Rag1(-/-)Tgfb1(-/-) mice exhibited neither IFN-gamma elevation nor tissue damage, indicating that NK cells are not sufficient.
|

|
IFN-gamma was required for strong overexpression of class II genes but not for CD4(+) T cell activation, oligoclonal expansion, or accumulation in the liver.
|

|
Finally, whereas Tgfb1(-/-) CD4(+) T cells overexpressed Fas ligand, hepatocellular damage was observed in Fas(lpr/lpr)Tgfb1(-/-) mice, indicating that liver pathology is Fas independent.

|
We conclude that liver damage in this model of fulminant autoimmune hepatitis is driven by CD4(+) T cell production of IFN-gamma, is independent of both CD8(+) T cells and the Fas ligand/Fas pathway, and is not explained by a lack of PD-L1 expression.
