Abstract

Background CD4(+) regulatory T cells are a specialized subset of T cells that actively control immune responses. Several experimental protocols have been used to expand natural regulatory T cells and to generate adaptive type 1 regulatory T cells for regulatory T-cell-based therapies. Design and Methods The ability of exogenous recombinant human interleukin-10 to induce alloantigen-specific anergy in T cells was investigated and compared to that of interleukin-10 derived from tolerogenic dendritic cells, in mixed lymphocyte cultures. A detailed characterization of the effector functions of the resulting anergized T cells is reported. Results Interleukin-10, whether exogenous or derived from tolerogenic dendritic cells, induces a population of alloantigen-specific T cells (interleukin-10-anergized T cells) containing type 1 regulatory T cells, which are anergic and actively suppress alloantigen-specific effector T cells present within the mixed population. Interleukin-10-induced anergy is transforming growth factor-beta independent, and is associated with a decreased frequency of alloantigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors, but interleukin-10-anergized T cells are still responsive to third-party, bacterial, and viral antigens. Tolerogenic dendritic cells are more powerful than exogenous interleukin-10 in generating type 1 regulatory T-cell precursors, and are also effective in the context of HLA-matched donors. Conclusions Based on these studies, we have developed an efficient and reproducible in vitro method to generate antigen-specific type 1 regulatory T-cell precursors starting from total peripheral blood cells with minimal cell manipulation and suitable for generating type 1 regulatory T cells for regulatory T-cell-based therapies.
