CD4 T cells can be primarily polarized to differentiate into Th1 or Th2 cells. CD44 is a marker of T cell activation and a property of long-lived memory cells and implicated in cell migration, activation and differentiation. To date, whether CD44 has a role in regulating Th1-Th2 differentiation has not been determined. In this study, we compared Th1 and Th2 responses in wild-type and CD44-deficient mice in response to SRBC and chicken ovalbumin, as well as examined Th1-Th2 differentiation in vivo and in vitro from CD44-sufficient and CD44-deficient naïve CD4 T cells. We observed that deficiency of CD44 tended to inhibit Th1 while promoting Th2 differentiation. Furthermore, chimeric studies suggested that CD44 expression by CD4 T cells was essential for such Th2 bias. The regulation by CD44 occurred at the transcription level leading to up-regulated GATA3 and down-regulated T-bet expression in activated CD4 T cells. We also noted that CD44-deficiency could modify the state of dendritic cell subsets to induce a Th2-biased development. Results presented here demonstrate for the first time that CD44 participates in the regulation of Th1-Th2 differentiation.
