Abstract

T regulatory (Treg) cells play a critical role in the maintenance of self-tolerance, as well as in inhibition of inflammation and exaggerated immune response against exogenous antigens. They develop in the thymus (tTreg cells) but also may be generated at the peripheral tissues, including tumor microenvironment (pTreg cells), or induced in vitro in the presence of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β (iTreg cells). Since tTreg cells constitute a minor fraction of peripheral blood lymphocytes in physiological conditions, an alternative way to obtain high number of functional Treg cells for therapeutic purposes is their generation in vitro from conventional T cells. In our studies, we compared effectiveness of several pharmacological agents with suggested immunomodulatory effects on Treg development (rapamycin, prednisolone, inosine pranobex, glatiramer acetate, sodium butyrate, and atorvastatin) to optimize Treg-inducing protocols. All but one (atorvastatin) immunomodulators augmented induction of polyclonal Treg cells in cultures. They were effective both in increasing the number of CD4+CD25highFoxp3high cells and Foxp3 expression. Rapamycin and prednisolone were found the most effective. Both drugs prolonged also phenotypic stab...Continue Reading
