A balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms at mucosal interfaces, sites of constitutive exposure to microbes and non-microbial foreign substances, allows for efficient protection against pathogens yet prevents adverse inflammatory responses associated with allergy, asthma, and intestinal inflammation. Regulatory T (Treg) cells prevent systemic and tissue-specific autoimmunity and inflammatory lesions at mucosal interfaces. These cells are generated in the thymus (tTreg cells) and in the periphery (iTreg cells) and their dual origin implies a division of labor between tTreg and iTreg cells in immune homeostasis. Here we demonstrate that a highly selective blockage in differentiation of iTreg cells did not lead to unprovoked multi-organ autoimmunity, exacerbation of induced tissue-specific autoimmune pathology (EAE), or increased pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cell responses. However, iTreg cell-deficient mice spontaneously developed pronounced Th2 type pathologies at mucosal sites — in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs — with hallmarks of allergic inflammation and asthma. Furthermore, iTreg cell deficiency altered gut microbial communities. These results suggest that whereas Treg cells generated in the thymus appear sufficient for control of systemic and tissue-specific autoimmunity, extrathymic differentiation of Treg cells impacts commensal microbiota composition and serves a distinct, essential function in restraint of allergic type inflammation at mucosal interfaces.
