LAG-3 (CD223) is a CD4 homolog that is required for maximal regulatory T cell function and for the control of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell homeostasis. Lag3−/− NOD mice developed substantially accelerated diabetes with 100% incidence. Adoptive transfer experiments revealed that LAG-3 was primarily responsible for limiting the pathogenic potential of CD4+ T cells, and to a lesser extent CD8+ T cells. Lag3−/− mice exhibited accelerated, invasive insulitis, corresponding to increased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell islet infiltration and intra-islet proliferation. The frequencies of islet antigen reactive chromogranin A-specific CD4+ T cells and IGRP-specific CD8+ T cells were significantly increased in the islets of Lag3−/− mice, suggesting an early expansion of pathogenic clones which is normally restrained by LAG-3. We conclude that LAG-3 is necessary for regulating CD4+ and CD8+ T cell function during autoimmune diabetes, and thus may contribute to limiting autoimmunity in disease-prone environments.
