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.

Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of differential DNA methylation in human conventional CD4(+) T cells (Tconv) and CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Treg), cell types whose differentiation and function are known to be controlled by epigenetic mechanisms.

More than 100 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified that are present mainly in cell type-specific genes (e.g., FOXP3, IL2RA, CTLA4, CD40LG, and IFNG) and show differential patterns of histone H3 lysine 4 methylation.

The infected mice displayed a significant up-regulation in the expression of chemokines (Cxcl1, Cxcl2 and Ccl2), numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines (Ifng, Il1b, Il6, and Il17f), as well as Il22 and a number of anti-microbial peptides (Defa1, Defa28, Defb1, Slpi and Reg3g) at the site(s) of infection.

However, CD4 T cells of the untreated and C. difficile-infected mice expressed similar levels of CD69 and CD25.

Neither tissue had up-regulated levels of Tbx21, Gata3 or Rorc.

|
They also displayed significantly higher phosphorylation of AKT and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), an indication of pro-survival signalling.

These data underscore the local, innate, pro-inflammatory nature of the response to C. difficile and highlight eIF2α phosphorylation and the interleukin-22-pSTAT3-RegIIIγ axis as two of the pathways that could be used to contain and counteract the damage inflicted on the intestinal epithelium.

Suppression is associated with development of a regulatory population of donor CD4(+) CD25(+)T-cells that express high levels of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4).
|

|
CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell responses and is associated with the induction of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs) that produce indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).

Here, we show that despite increased expression of Ifng, Irf3, Irf7, Ido1, and Ido2 in the lymph nodes of TCDD-treated host mice, inhibition of IDO enzyme activity by 1-methyl-tryptophan was unable to relieve TCDD-mediated suppression of the GVH response.
