TH17 cells constitute a pro-inflammatory CD4+ T-cell subset that is important for microbial clearance, but also are implicated as propagators of various autoimmune pathologies. Evidence suggests that TH17 cells share common progenitors with immunosuppressive CD4+ inducible regulatory T-cells (iTREG), and that the developmental pathways of these two subsets are reciprocally regulated. In this study, we show evidence that the Src-family tyrosine kinase Fyn helps regulate this TH17/TREG balance. When placed under TH17-skewing conditions, CD4+ T-cells from fyn−/− mice had decreased levels of IL17, but increased expression of the TREG transcription factor Foxp3. The defect in IL17 expression occurred independently of the ectopic Foxp3 expression, and correlated with a delay in RORγt upregulation and an inability to maintain normal STAT3 activation. Fyn-deficient TH17 cells also exhibited delayed upregulation of Il23r, Il21, Rora, and Irf4, as well as aberrant expression of Socs3, suggesting that Fyn may function upstream of a variety of molecular pathways that contribute to TH17 polarization. The fyn−/− mice had fewer IL17+CD4+ T-cells in the large intestinal lamina propria compared to littermate controls. Furthermore, after transfer of either WT or fyn−/− naïve CD4+ T-cells into Rag1−/− hosts, recipients receiving fyn−/− cells had fewer IL17-producing T-cells, indicating that Fyn may also regulate TH17 differentiation in vivo. These results identify Fyn as a possible novel regulator of the developmental balance between the TH17 and TREG cell subsets.
