abstract = {Crohn's disease is considered to be caused either by an excess of T-cell effector functions and/or by a defective regulatory T-cell compartment. The aim of this study was to assess in Crohn's disease the frequency of circulating CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells that possess regulatory T-cell functions and CD4(+)CD25(low) T cells that contain activated T cells. Flow cytometry of peripheral blood was used to assess CD4(+)CD25(high) and CD4(+)CD25(low) T-cell frequencies in a cohort of 66 patients with Crohn's disease in comparison to 19 patients with ulcerative colitis and 31 healthy individuals enrolled as controls. The CD4(+)CD25(high) T-cell frequency was significantly lowered in naïve Crohn's disease (P = 0.013) and in ulcerative colitis (P = 0.001). CD4(+)CD25(low) T-cell frequency was increased in Crohn's disease (P = 0.0001) and in ulcerative colitis (P = 0.0002). Both CD4(+)CD25(high) and CD4(+)CD25(low) T-cell frequencies are altered in naïve Crohn's disease resulting in an imbalance between both populations and a relative contraction of the CD4(+)CD25(high) T-cell population.},

abstract = {OBJECTIVE: Naturally occurring CD4+,CD25+ Treg cells are central in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Impaired activity and/or a lower frequency of these cells is involved in the emergence of autoimmunity. We undertook this study to analyze relative proportions and functional alterations of Treg cells in MRL/lpr mice.
METHODS: The frequency of CD4+,CD25+ T cells in the peripheral blood of healthy and autoimmune mice was compared by flow cytometry. The capacity of CD4+,CD25+ T cells to inhibit the proliferation and cytokine secretion of CD4+,CD25- T cells was assessed after polyclonal activation.
RESULTS: MRL/lpr mice exhibited a normal percentage of CD4+,CD25 high T cells, and forkhead box P3 messenger RNA and protein expression in Treg cells was not altered. However, MRL/lpr Treg cells displayed a reduced capacity to suppress proliferation and to inhibit interferon-gamma secretion by syngeneic effector CD4+,CD25- T cells, as compared with syngeneic cocultures of CBA/J T cells. Moreover, effector MRL/lpr CD4+,CD25- T cells were substantially less susceptible to suppression even when cultured with CBA/J or MRL/lpr Treg cells. Crossover experiments led us to conclude that in MRL/lpr mice, each partner engaged in T cell regulation displays altered functions. Molecules involved in suppressive mechanisms (CTLA-4 and CD80/CD86) are underexpressed, and antigen-presenting cells (APCs) produce raised levels of interleukin-6, which is known to abrogate suppression.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that although the frequency and phenotype of Treg cells in MRL/lpr mice are similar to those in normal mice, Treg cells in MRL/lpr mice are not properly stimulated by APCs and are unable to suppress proinflammatory cytokine secretion from effector T cells.},
