These findings demonstrate mechanisms by which the PD-1 pathway regulates antibody production and help reconcile inconsistencies surrounding the role of this pathway in humoral immunity.
Abstract
CD4(+)CXCR5(+)Foxp3(+) follicular regulatory T cells (T(FR) cells) inhibit humoral immunity mediated by CD4(+)CXCR5(+)Foxp3(-) follicular helper T cells (T(FH) cells). Although the inhibitory receptor PD-1 is expressed by both cell types, its role in the differentiation of T(FR) cells is unknown. Here we found that mice deficient in PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 had a greater abundance of T(FR) cells in the lymph nodes and that those T(FR) cells had enhanced suppressive ability. We also found substantial populations of T(FR) cells in mouse blood and demonstrated that T(FR) cells in the blood homed to lymph nodes and potently inhibited T(FH) cells in vivo. T(FR) cells in the blood required signaling via the costimulatory receptors CD28 and ICOS but were inhibited by PD-1 and PD-L1. Our findings demonstrate mechanisms by which the PD-1 pathway regulates antibody production and help reconcile inconsistencies surrounding the role of this pathway in humoral immunity.

T follicular helper cell differentiation, function, and roles in disease

TL;DR: There has been dramatic advances in this young field, but there is much to be learned about Tfh cell biology in the interest of applying that knowledge to biomedical needs.

The diverse functions of the PD1 inhibitory pathway.

TL;DR: The diverse roles of the PD1 pathway in regulating immune responses are discussed and how this knowledge can improve cancer immunotherapy as well as restore and/or maintain tolerance during autoimmunity and transplantation.

TL;DR: The realization that follicular T cells are heterogeneous, comprising helper and regulatory subsets, has raised questions regarding a possible division of labor in germinal center B cell selection and elimination.

A rheostat for immune responses: the unique properties of PD-1 and their advantages for clinical application.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms of the functions of PD-1, in conjunction with the mild, chronic and strain-specific autoimmune phenotypes ofPD-1-deficient mice, suggest that immunoregulation by PD- 1 is rather antigen specific and is mainly cell intrinsic.

Reciprocal developmental pathways for the generation of pathogenic effector TH17 and regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that IL-6, an acute phase protein induced during inflammation, completely inhibits the generation of Foxp3+ Treg cells induced by TGF-β, and the data demonstrate a dichotomy in thegeneration of pathogenic (TH17) T cells that induce autoimmunity and regulatory (Foxp3+) T Cells that inhibit autoimmune tissue injury.

Follicular Helper CD4 T Cells (TFH)

TL;DR: This review discusses recent progress and areas of uncertainty or disagreement in the literature, and debates the developmental relationship between T(FH) cells and other CD4 T cell subsets (Th1, Th2, Th17, iTreg).
Journal ArticleDOI

The PD-1 pathway in tolerance and autoimmunity

TL;DR: This review highlights how PD‐1 and its ligands defend against potentially pathogenic self‐reactive effector T cells by simultaneously harnessing two mechanisms of peripheral tolerance: (i) the promotion of Treg development and function and (ii) the direct inhibition of potentially pathogen self-reactive T cells that have escaped into the periphery.

TGF-beta-induced Foxp3 inhibits T(H)17 cell differentiation by antagonizing RORgammat function.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that, together with pro-inflammatory cytokines, TGF-beta orchestrates T helper cells that produce IL-17 (T(H)17 cells) in a concentration-dependent manner.

PD-L1 regulates the development, maintenance, and function of induced regulatory T cells

TL;DR: PD-L1 can inhibit T cell responses by promoting both the induction and maintenance of iT reg cells, defining a novel mechanism for iT reg cell development and function, as well as a new strategy for controlling T reg cell plasticity.
