The FVB.mdr1a−/− mouse, lacking the small molecule pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is a commonly used model for the study of spontaneous T cell mediated colitis. In addition, MDR1 polymorphisms and P-gp deficiency in humans have been linked to the development of ulcerative colitis. We now demonstrate that mice with P-gp deficiency have decreased levels of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) in the intestinal lamina propria. This decrease is not due to either increased Treg apoptosis, altered Treg trafficking, or enhanced Treg plasticity to become Foxp3+IL-17+ cells. Instead, P-gp deficiency appears to restrict the development of induced Treg cells (iTreg), as fewer Foxp3+ iTregs developed from naïve FVB.mdr1a−/− T cells both upon TGF-β treatment in vitro and after adoptive transfer into FVB.rag2−/− recipients. Rather, in vitro TGF-β treatment results in a IL-17+CD4+ T cell. This failure of iTregs to develop explains the decrease in Foxp3+ Tregs in the FVB.mdr1a−/− intestine, representing a need to investigate this novel disease mechanism in human inflammatory bowel disease patients with MDR1 polymorphisms.
