We have previously shown that CD4+ T cell-mediated
allergic inflammation is diminished in signal transducer and activator
of transcription (Stat)5a-deficient (Stat5a / ) mice. To
determine whether Stat5a regulates T helper cell differentiation, we
studied T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cell differentiation of
Stat5a / CD4+ T cells at single-cell levels.
First, Th2 cell differentiation from antigen-stimulated splenocytes was
significantly decreased in Stat5a / mice as compared
with that in wild-type mice. Further, Th2 cell differentiation was also
impaired in Stat5a / mice even when purified
CD4+ T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28
antibodies in the presence of interleukin-4. Moreover, the
retrovirus-mediated gene expression of Stat5a in
Stat5a / CD4+ T cells restored the Th2 cell
differentiation at the similar levels to that in wild-type
CD4+ T cells. In addition, interleukin-4 normally
phosphorylated Stat6 in CD4+ T cells from
Stat5a / mice. Second, the development of
CD4+CD25+ immunoregulatory T cells was impaired
in Stat5a / mice, as indicated by a significant
decrease in the number of CD4+CD25+ T cells in
Stat5a / mice. Furthermore, the depletion of
CD4+CD25+ T cells from wild-type splenocytes
significantly decreased Th2 cell differentiation but increased Th1 cell
differentiation, whereas the depletion of
CD4+CD25+ T cells from Stat5a /
splenocytes had no significant effect on the Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation. Together, these results indicate that the intrinsic expression of Stat5a in CD4+ T cells is required for Th2
cell differentiation and that Stat5a is involved in the development of
CD4+CD25+ immunoregulatory T cells that
modulate T helper cell differentiation toward Th2 cells.
