- Abstract
- Since we have previously shown that dexamethasone (Dex) enhances the proportion of murine Treg cells, we tested the effect of IL-7, a promoter of T cell survival, together with Dex oil human CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells in an in vitro setting. The results showed that IL-7 in concert with Dex markedly augmented the generation of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. To discern the origin of the induced CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells, MACS-purified CD4(+)CD25(-), and CD4(+)CD25(+) cells were cultured in the presence of Dex and/or IL-7 for 4 days. Although two thirds of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells became CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells, they had no Suppressive activity. In contrast, the original CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells maintained Suppressive activity after Dex/IL-7 treatment, however, there was not a significant expansion ill their cell number. Dex and IL-7 did not induce additional Treg cells, but additively induced the expression of the activation marker CD25 by CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. This combination may provide a novel means of priming CD4 T cells to respond to IL-2 and may prove useful in up-regulation of normal immune responses in immune deficient diseases.
