BackgroundBackground The extrathymic generation and proliferation of regulator
y T cells may contribute to self-tolerance as well as the poor immunogenicity of tumors and may be exploited clinically to prevent or reverse unwanted immunity.
The contributions of thymically and extrathymically generated suppressor T cells to the peripheral pool of CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells is not known.
The ability to generate de novo in secondary lymphoid tissue represent an important tool in the induction of antigen-specific tolerance in the fully mature immune system. Also, this pathway of generating suppressor cells may be used by tumors to avoid tumor-specific immune responses.

ObjectionObjection As the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms i
nvolved in the peripheral generation of CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells are not known, we investigated whether this process can be initiated through antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs).
This seemed an important issue to study, as cross-presentation of tumor-specific antigens by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules on DCs could constitute an essential pathway by which tumor cells induce Foxp3-expressing suppressor T cells.

QuestionQuestion
What conditions are suited for the induction of antigen-specific Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells in the context of a fully mature immune system using anti-DEC–HA?
![Page 6: Inducing and expanding regulatory T cell populations by foreign antigen Karsten Kretschmer NATURE IMMUNOLOGY 2005; 6:1219.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1b107f8b9ab05998e88a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
90% or more of the CD25+ cells were stained with the clonotypic 6.5 TCR antibody

QuestionQuestion Does CD4+CD25+ T cells express the Foxp3
which is the marker of T regulatory cells? Does the converted Foxp3+CD25+ T cells
have regulatory function?

3. Efficient induction of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells requires low doses of anti-DEC–HA and lack of co
stimulation.
![Page 11: Inducing and expanding regulatory T cell populations by foreign antigen Karsten Kretschmer NATURE IMMUNOLOGY 2005; 6:1219.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1b107f8b9ab05998e88a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Injection of either a substantial amount of anti-DEC–HA or injectiontogether of minute amounts of anti-DEC–HA plus anti-CD40 did notresult in efficient and long-lasting conversion of CD4+CD25– naive
T cells into Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells
![Page 12: Inducing and expanding regulatory T cell populations by foreign antigen Karsten Kretschmer NATURE IMMUNOLOGY 2005; 6:1219.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1b107f8b9ab05998e88a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Different routes of administration of anti-DEC–HA (intraperitoneal, intravenous and subcutaneous) were similarly efficient in CD25+ suppressor T cell induction (data not shown).
Also, prolonged subcutaneous infusion of small amounts of anti-DEC–HA (10 ng/d for 14 d) by means of osmotic mini-pumps did not increase the absolute numbers of induced Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells (data not shown).
Furthermore, injection of less than 40 ng anti-DEC–HA resulted in a much reduced recovery of initially seeded T cells 14 d after injection (data not shown).

BackgroundBackground
TGF-beta could help the conversion of in vitro–stimulated peripheral CD4+CD25– T cells into suppressor cells suggests that TGF-b signaling could be involved in the antigen-driven conversion of suppressor cells in vivo.
Consistent with that idea, mice deficient in components of the TGF-beta–TGF-beta receptor system have reduced numbers of peripheral CD4+CD25+ T cells

5.Impaired TGF-betaR signaling diminishes conversion of naive T cells into CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.

ConclusionConclusion TGF-beta receptor signaling–dependent inhibit
ion of proliferation correlated with more efficient in vivo conversion of naive T cells into CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
Q: whether increased TGF-b receptor signaling could reduce proliferation and enhance anti-DEC–HA–mediated conversion
in vivo?

6.Costimulation of naive CD4+CD25– T cells in vitro by TCR and TGF-beta receptor.
![Page 19: Inducing and expanding regulatory T cell populations by foreign antigen Karsten Kretschmer NATURE IMMUNOLOGY 2005; 6:1219.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1b107f8b9ab05998e88a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In vitro, TGF-b1 slightly inhibited anti-CD3- and anti-CD28-mediated T cell proliferation at 36 and 60 h of culture
Foxp3 mRNA expression was induced in vitro only when cells were stimulated with TGF-b1 plus anti-CD3 and anti-CD28
cells stimulated with TGF-b1 plus anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 expressed Foxp3 protein 36 h after stimulation, and this increased to 23% at day 3. Foxp3 expression correlated with CD25 surface expression

BackgroundBackground IL-2 is a cytokine that controls proliferation of ant
igenically stimulated T cells.
Q: whether IL-2 interfered with or enhanced the conversion of naive T cells into CD4+CD25+ suppressor T cells??
