表达转录因子Foxp3的调节性T(Treg)细胞对于预防自身免疫和抑制抗肿瘤免疫至关重要。由Treg细胞识别的主要自身抗原仍然不确定,代表了理解免疫调节的实质性障碍。在这里,我们已经鉴定了小鼠中的天然Treg细胞配体。我们发现,两个复发性Treg细胞克隆,一个在前列腺肿瘤中流行,第二个与前列腺自身免疫性病变相关,识别来自相同前列腺特异性蛋白的不同非重叠MHC II类限制性肽。值得注意的是,在前列腺自身免疫的实验模型中,这种蛋白质经常被自身抗体靶向。基于这些研究结果,我们提出了一个模型,其中Treg细胞反应在外周站点收敛于那些最容易受到自身免疫攻击的自身蛋白质,我们建议,这种联系可能被利用作为一种可推广的策略,以确定与人类自身免疫相关的Treg细胞抗原。由胸腺衍生的Treg细胞识别的内源性抗原在很大程度上仍然不确定。伦纳德等人鉴定了小鼠中的天然Treg细胞配体,证明了两种复发性Treg细胞克隆识别来源于单一前列腺特异性蛋白的不同的非重叠肽。
Regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing the transcription factor Foxp3 are critical for the prevention of autoimmunity and the suppression of anti-tumor immunity. The major self antigens recognized by Treg cells remain undefined, representing a substantial barrier to the understanding of immune regulation. Here, we have identified natural Treg cell ligands in mice. We found that two recurrent Treg cell clones, one prevalent in prostate tumors and the second associated with prostatic autoimmune lesions, recognized distinct non-overlapping MHC class-II-restricted peptides derived from the same prostate-specific protein. Notably, this protein is frequently targeted by autoantibodies in experimental models of prostatic autoimmunity. Based on these findings, we propose a model in which Treg cell responses at peripheral sites converge on those self proteins that are most susceptible to autoimmune attack, and we suggest that this link may be exploited as a generalizable strategy to identify the Treg cell antigens relevant to human autoimmunity. The endogenous antigens recognized by thymus-derived Treg cells have remained largely undefined. Leonard et al. identify natural Treg cell ligands in mice, demonstrating that two recurrent Treg cell clones recognize distinct non-overlapping peptides derived from a single prostate-specific protein.
