The glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor family-related protein (GITR; also called TNFRSF18 or CD357) regulates the T-cell mediated immune response and is present on surfaces of T regulatory (Treg) and activated CD4+ T cells. We investigated the roles of GITR in the development of colitis in mice. Chronic enterocolitis was induced by the transfer of wild-type or GITR−/− CD4+ T cells to GITR−/−xRag−/− or Rag−/− mice. We determined colitis severity using the disease activity index, measured levels of inflammatory cytokines, T cells, and dendritic cells, and performed histologic analysis of colon samples. Transfer of non-fractionated CD4+ cells from wild-type or GITR−/− donors induced colitis in GITR−/−xRag−/− but not in Rag−/− mice. Among mice with transfer-induced colitis, the percentage of Treg and T-helper (Th)17 cells was reduced but that of Th1 cells increased. Treg cells failed to prevent colitis in GITR−/−xRag−/− recipients; this was not the result of aberrant function of GITR−/− Treg or T effector cells, but resulted from an imbalance between the numbers of tolerogenic CD103+ and PDCA1+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells in GITR−/− mice. This imbalance impaired Treg cell development and expanded the Th1 population in GITR−/−xRag−/− mice following transfer of non-fractionated CD4+ cells. GITR is not required on the surface of Treg and T effector cells to induce colitis in mice; interactions between GITR and its ligand are not required for colitis induction. GITR instead appears to control dendritic cell and monocyte development; in its absence, mice develop aggravated chronic enterocolitis, via an imbalance of colitogenic Th1 cells and Treg cells.
