Thornton, Richard J. DiPaolo, and Ethan M. Shevach From the Laboratory of Immunology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD. The suppressive capacity of naturally occurring mouse CD4+CD25+ T cells on T-cell activation has been well documented. The present study is focused on the interaction of CD4+CD25+ T cells and B cells. By coculturing preactivated CD4+CD25+ T cells with B cells in the presence of polyclonal B-cell activators, we found that B-cell proliferation was significantly suppressed. The suppression of B-cell proliferation was due to increased cell death caused by the CD4+CD25+ T cells in a cell-contact–dependent manner. The induction of B-cell death is not mediated by Fas–Fas ligand pathway, but surprisingly, depends on the up-regulation of perforin and granzymes in the CD4+CD25+ T cells. Furthermore, activated CD4+CD25+ T cells preferentially killed antigen-presenting but not bystander B cells. Our results demonstrate that CD4+CD25+ T cells can act directly on B cells and suggest that the prevention of autoimmunity by CD4+CD25+ T cells can be explained, at least in part, by the direct regulation of B-cell function.
