| 要旨 | FoxP3+ Tregs are composed of nTreg cells generated in the thymus with TCR specificities for self antigen and of inducible iTreg cells which have TCRs specificities for non-self or foreign antigens. We recently identified TNFRSF25 as a powerful regulator of Treg proliferation in vivo downstream of TCR and IL-2 signals, however it remained unclear whether both nTreg and iTreg cells were responsive to TNFRSF25-triggered proliferation. Here we provide evidence that in vitro generated iTregs unlike nTregs after adoptive transfer do not proliferate in response to TNFRSF25 signaling. In contrast, both in vivo induced polyclonal iTreg and TCR transgenic iTreg proliferate in response to TNFRSF25 signaling in a cognate antigen dependent fashion. TNFRSF25 induced iTreg proliferation is especially strong in mesenteric lymph nodes. These studies demonstrate that both nTreg and iTreg require cognate-antigen to respond to TNFRSF25 induced proliferation and that cognate antigen for iTreg is more abundant in gut associated lymphoid tissue, which is also a preferential site of FoxP3 induction and iTreg accumulation.
