CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in rheumatoid arthritis: Differences in the presence, phenotype, and function between peripheral blood and synovial fluid
Abstract
Objective: In mice, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells play a pivotal role in preventing autoimmunity. Regulatory T cells are also present and functional in healthy humans. We investigated the presence, phenotype, and function of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The presence and phenotype of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were determined by flow cytometry. Anergy and suppressive activity were assessed by culturing CD4+CD25− and CD4+CD25+ T cells with anti‐CD3 monoclonal antibodies and antigen‐presenting cells, followed by proliferation and cytokine detection. Results: The percentage of CD4+CD25+ T cells in RA SF was significantly increased compared with that in RA PB, and both of these percentages were higher than that in PB from controls. The cells in RA PB were similar in phenotype and function to CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells from controls. In SF, however, ∼40–50% of CD4+CD25+ T cells expressed an activated phenotype, i.e., CD69+, class II MHC+, OX‐40+, with high levels of CTLA‐4 and glucocorticoid‐induced tumor necrosis factor receptor. These synovial CD4+CD25+ T cells displayed an increased suppressive capacity compared with blood CD4+CD25+ T cells. However, this enhanced suppressive activity was counterbalanced, because activated responder T cells from SF were less susceptible to CD4+CD25+ T cell–mediated suppression than were responder cells from PB. Conclusion: We demonstrate that CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are present and functional in patients with RA, with higher numbers of regulatory T cells with increased suppressive activity found in SF compared with PB. These findings suggest a negative feedback system that is active at the site of inflammation. The balance between activated responder and regulatory T cells appears to influence the extent of immunoregulation in RA.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
