Antigen-Specific Development of Mucosal Foxp3+ROR{gamma}t+ T Cells from Regulatory T Cell Precursors [IMMUNE REGULATION]

Foxp3+retinoic acid–related orphan receptor (ROR)t+ T cells have recently been characterized as an immunoregulatory population highly enriched in the colon lamina propria. However, their developmental origin and relationship to RORt regulatory T and Th17 cells remain unclear. In this study, we use a fixed TCRβ system to show that the TCR repertoire of the Foxp3+RORt+ population is mostly distinct compared with other colonic T cell subsets. However, of these TCRs, a fraction is also found in the Th17 subset, suggesting that TCR repertoire overlap may contribute to the reported ability of Foxp3+RORt+ cells to regulate Th17 immunity. Naive transgenic T cells expressing a Foxp3+RORt+-restricted TCR first acquire a Foxp3+RORt phenotype before coexpressing RORt, suggesting that Foxp3+RORt+ cell development can occur via an RORt regulatory T cell intermediate.
