Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) that express the transcription factor Foxp3 suppress the activity of other cells. Here we show that interleukin 10 (IL-10) produced by CD11b+ myeloid cells in recombination-activating gene 1–deficient (Rag1−/−) recipient mice was needed to prevent the colitis induced by transferred CD4+ CD45RBhi T cells. In Il10 −/− Rag1−/− mice, Treg cells failed to maintain Foxp3 expression and regulatory activity. The loss of Foxp3 expression occurred only in recipients with colitis, which indicates that the requirement for IL-10 is manifested in the presence of inflammation. IL-10 receptor–deficient (Il10rb−/−) Treg cells also failed to maintain Foxp3 expression, which suggested that host IL-10 acted directly on the Treg cells. Our data indicate that IL-10 released from myeloid cells acts in a paracrine manner on Treg cells to maintain Foxp3 expression.
