Impaired homeostatic expansion and suppressive function of Cd18hypo CD4+CD25+CD127 Tregs.

(A) Representative CFSE dilution profiles of gated CFSE+CD4+CD25+CD127 Tregs from Cd18wt (left panel) and Cd18hypo mice (right panel). (B) Representative CFSE dilution profile of gated CFSE+CD4+CD25+CD127 Tregs from skin DLNs of Cd18wt (left panel) and Cd18hypo (middle panel) mice 7 days after adoptive transfer into affected Cd18hypo recipients or of gated CFSE+CD4+CD25+CD127 Tregs from Cd18hypo mice 7 days after adoptive transfer into Cd18wt recipients (right panel). Numbers on the top left of A and B indicate the percentage of CFSE-labeled proliferating cells. Numbers on the top right of A and B indicate the percentage of undivided CFSE-labeled cells. To investigate in vitro suppressive function of Tregs on Tresp cells, CD4+CD25+CD127 Tregs were pooled from spleens of Cd18wt or Cd18hypo mice (4 animals for each group) and cultured with CFSE-labeled CD4+CD25 Tresp cells derived from either affected Cd18hypo mice (C) or Cd18wt mice (D). A total of 1 × 105 Tresp cells were incubated alone (gray bar, ratio 1:0) or with decreasing numbers of Tregs from Cd18wt or affected Cd18hypo mice (the ratio of Tregs/Tresp cells was at 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, and 16:1). After 3 days cells were harvested and analyzed by flow cytometry. Representative data are shown, which had been reproduced in 3 independent experiments.
