While induced FoxP3+ T cells (iTregs) are promising cellular therapeutics to treat inflammatory diseases, a limitation in utilizing iTregs prepared in vitro is their low stability in inflammatory conditions. Progesterone (P4) is an immune regulatory nuclear hormone with a potent Treg induction activity. We reasoned that this function of progesterone would be utilized to generate iTregs with highly suppressive activity and improved stability in vivo. We generated iTregs with progesterone in vitro and found that progesterone generates iTregs that are highly stable in inflammatory conditions. Moreover, P4-induced iTregs highly express latency-associated peptide TGFβ1 and are efficient in regulating inflammation in multiple tissues, whereas control iTregs induced with TGFβ1 alone are less stable and ineffective in suppressing inflammation. The function of progesterone in inducing iTregs with improved regulatory activity is associated with the function of P4 in suppressing the mTOR pathway. Moreover, the function of progesterone in inducing FoxP3+ T cells is decreased but not completely abolished on nuclear progesterone receptor-deficient T cells, suggesting that both nuclear and non-nuclear progesterone receptors are involved in mediating the function. We conclude that P4 can be utilized to generate iTregs with a high therapeutic potential in treatment of tissue inflammation.
