We report that OX40 stimulation drives all lineages of CD4 T cell development including Treg and the plasticity of the response is dependant on local cytokines. In TGF-β1-treated cultures, OX40 agonist increased IFN-γ and IL-4 production and diverted T cells from the Treg lineage. However, cytokine blockade in the context of OX40 stimulation promoted also enhanced Treg accumulation. This observation was evident in naive mice, as OX40 engagement enhanced Treg proliferation and accumulation in vivo. Lastly, OX40 agonist administration influenced EAE disease severity in opposing directions depending on the timing of administration. Given during Ag priming, OX40 agonist drove Treg expansion and inhibited disease, whereas, given later it enhanced T cell effector cytokine production in the CNS and exacerbated disease. Hence, OX40 signaling can augment the accumulation of all CD4 T cell lineages; however its accentuation of immune responses may have vastly different biologic outcomes depending upon the local cytokine milieu.
