Abstract

Regulatory T cells (Treg) are crucial for the suppression of antigen-specific immune responses by activated conventional T cells (Tcon). It has been recently reported that this suppression is mediated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) transported from Treg to Tcon via gap junctions. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms of cAMP accumulation in activated Treg are still unclear. Here we reported that although non-activated murine Treg and Tcon displayed similar intracellular cAMP amounts, both subpopulations showed distinct expression of enzymes regulating cAMP metabolism. Thus, in Treg, activities of both anabolic (adenylyl cyclase, AC) and catabolic (phosphodiesterase, PDE) enzymes were lower than in Tcon. Furthermore, we demonstrated for the first time the expression of the PDE11 protein in murine Treg and Tcon. Treg activation by IL-2 induced a strong AC7 activation and cAMP accumulation in Treg. In contrast, Tcon showed a significant decrease in the AC7 activity and cAMP amounts under these conditions. Our data suggest that the mechanism of cAMP accumulation in stimulated Treg involves the AC7 activation and provide new insight into the modulation of Treg activities via AC inhibition or stimulation in various...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
