It has recently been shown that
CD4+CD25+ T cells are immunoregulatory T cells
that prevent CD4+ T-cell-mediated organ-specific
autoimmune diseases. In this study, the regulatory mechanism of
CD4+CD25+ T-cell development were investigated
using T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice. It was found that
CD4+CD25+ T cells preferentially expressed the
endogenous TCR chain in DO10+ TCR transgenic mice
compared with CD4+CD25 T cells. Moreover, it
was found that CD4+CD25+ thymocytes were
severely decreased in DO10+ TCR- / mice
in positively selecting and negatively selecting backgrounds, whereas
CD4+CD25 thymocytes efficiently developed by
transgenic TCR in DO10+ TCR- / mice in
positively selecting backgrounds, indicating that the appropriate
affinity of TCR to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) for the
development of CD4+CD25+ thymocytes is
different from that of CD4+CD25 thymocytes
and that a certain TCR-MHC affinity is required for the development of
CD4+CD25+ thymocytes. Finally, it was found
that, in contrast to thymus, CD4+CD25+ T cells
were readily detected in spleen of DO10+
TCR- / mice in positively selecting backgrounds and
that splenic CD4+CD25+ T cells, but not
CD4+CD25+ thymocytes, were significantly
decreased in B-cell-deficient mice, suggesting that B cells may
control the peripheral pool of CD4+CD25+ T
cells. Together, these results indicate that the development of
CD4+CD25+ T cells in thymus and the homeostasis
of CD4+CD25+ T cells in periphery are regulated
by distinct mechanisms.
