CD4+CD25+Foxp3+regulatory T cells induce alternative activation of human monocytes/macrophages

Abstract: CD4 ؉ CD25 ؉ Foxp3 ؉ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are potent suppressors of the adaptive immune system, but their effects on innate immune cells are less well known. Here we demonstrate a previously uncharacterized function of Tregs, namely their ability to steer monocyte differentiation toward alternatively activated macrophages (AAM). AAM are cells with strong antiinflammatory potential involved in immune regulation, tissue remodeling, parasite killing, and tumor promotion. We show that, after coculture with T… Show more

“…Furthermore, Treg cells can also suppress innate immune cells. Treg cells inhibit both monocyte and neutrophil function,38 and induce an NK cell‐dependent endotoxin tolerance‐like phenomenon that is characterized by the decreased production of IFN‐γ 39. There is a large amount of evidence that patients with sepsis have increased numbers of Treg cells, which, by acting both on innate and adaptive immune cells, impair immunity and contribute to septic mortality.…”

“…The interaction between Treg and macrophages is more complex. Treg can inhibit macrophage maturation and induce alternatively activated macrophages (AAM), which have regulatory capacity [34]. AAM are not efficient in antigen presentation and secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10.…”

“…1). M2 cells were shown to induce differentiation of regulatory T cells [26]; conversely, regulatory T cells have been reported to induce alternative activation of human mononuclear phagocytes [27]. While general properties are retained from mouse to man, there are significant differences, such as the association of YM1, Fizz1 and Arginase 1 with M2 polarization in the mouse but not in man [18].…”
