Abstract

The nuclear hormone receptor retinoic acid receptor–related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) is required for the generation of T helper 17 cells expressing the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-17. In vivo, however, less than half of RORγt+ T cells express IL-17. We report here that RORγt+ Tαβ cells include Foxp3+ cells that coexist with IL-17–producing RORγt+ Tαβ cells in all tissues examined. The Foxp3+ RORγt+ Tαβ express IL-10 and CCL20, and function as regulatory T cells. Furthermore, the ratio of Foxp3+ to IL-17–producing RORγt+ Tαβ cells remains remarkably constant in mice enduring infection and inflammation. This equilibrium is tuned in favor of IL-10 production by Foxp3 and CCL20, and in favor of IL-17 production by IL-6 and IL-23. In the lung and skin, the largest population of RORγt+ T cells express the γδ T cell receptor and produce the highest levels of IL-17 independently of IL-6. Thus, potentially antagonistic proinflammatory IL-17–producing and regulatory Foxp3+ RORγt+ T cells coexist and are tightly controlled, suggesting that a perturbed equilibrium in RORγt+ T cells might lead to decreased immunoreactivity or, in contrast, to pathological inflammation.

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.
