Objective Animal studies suggest that regulatory T (Treg) cells play a beneficial role in ventricular remodeling and our previous data have demonstrated defects of Treg cells in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the mechanisms behind Treg-cell defects remained unknown. We here sought to elucidate the mechanism of Treg-cell defects in CHF patients. Methods and Results We performed flow cytometry analysis and demonstrated reduced numbers of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+FOXP3+CD45RO−CD45RA+ naïve Treg (nTreg) cells and CD4+CD25+FOXP3+CD45RO+CD45RA− memory Treg (mTreg) cells in CHF patients as compared with non-CHF controls. Moreover, the nTreg/mTreg ratio (p<0.01), CD4+CD25+FOXP3+CD45RO− CD45RA+CD31+ recent thymic emigrant Treg cell (RTE-Treg) frequency (p<0.01), and T-cell receptor excision circle levels in Treg cells (p<0.01) were lower in CHF patients than in non-CHF controls. Combined annexin-V and 7-AAD staining showed that peripheral Treg cells from CHF patients exhibited increased spontaneous apoptosis and were more prone to interleukin (IL)-2 deprivation- and CD95 ligand-mediated apoptosis than those from non-CHF individuals. Furthermore, analyses by both flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that Treg-cell frequency in the mediastinal lymph nodes or Foxp3 expression in hearts of CHF patients was no higher than that of the non-CHF controls. Conclusion Our data suggested that the Treg-cell defects of CHF patients were likely caused by decreased thymic output of nascent Treg cells and increased susceptibility to apoptosis in the periphery.
