Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells are CD4(+) T cells that produce a large amount of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine. However, it has not been fully elucidated whether Tr1 cells suppress allergic asthma. In this study, the effects of adoptive transfer of in vitro-induced Tr1 cells on allergic asthma were evaluated. Splenocytes from ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized BALB/c mice were cultured with OVA, IL-21, IL-27, and TGF-beta. After culture, IL-10-producing CD4(+) T cells were isolated by Dynabeads mouse CD4 and IL-10 secretion assay, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Purified Tr1 cells (IL-10(+) CD4(+) T cells) were intravenously injected into OVA-sensitized BALB/c mice. The recipient mice were intratracheally challenged with OVA. Airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine was assessed by the forced oscillation technique, followed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Almost all of the induced IL-10-producing CD4(+) T cells were negative for interferon-gamma, IL-4, IL-17A, and forkhead box P3, suggesting that the cells were Tr1 cells. The adoptive transfer of Tr1 cells significantly suppressed the development of airway hyperresponsiveness, and increases in IL-5, eosinophils, and neutrophils in BAL fluid. In conclusion, we demonstrated that Tr1 cells suppressed allergic asthma in mice. (c) 2019 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Japanese Pharmacological Society.
