Cutting Edge: TGF-β Signaling Is Required for the In Vivo Expansion and Immunosuppressive Capacity of Regulatory CD4+CD25+ T Cells
Abstract
Data regarding the role of TGF-β for the in vivo function of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cells (Treg) are controversial. A transgenic mouse model with impaired TGF-β signaling specifically in T cells was used to assess the role of endogenous TGF-β for the in vivo function of CD4+CD25+ Treg in a murine model of colitis induced by dextran sulfate. Transfer of wild-type, but not transgenic CD4+CD25+ Treg was found to suppress colitis in wild-type mice. In addition, by transferring CFSE-labeled CD4+CD25+ Treg we could demonstrate that endogenous TGF-β promotes the expansion of CD4+CD25+ Treg in vivo. Transgenic mice themselves developed reduced numbers of peripheral CD4+CD25+ Treg and were more susceptible to the induction of colitis, which could be prevented by the transfer of wild-type Treg. These data indicate that TGF-β signaling in CD4+CD25+ Treg is required for their in vivo expansion and suppressive capacity.

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.
