Ed by CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg.10,13,37 In addition to CD4+ Treg, an immunosuppressive subset of CD8+ intraepithelial lymphocytes found in the small intestine was found to express fgl2 mRNA.38 Furthermore, Li et al. recently demonstrated in a rat cardiac transplant model that tolerogenic CD8+CD45RClow Treg expressed high levels of fgl2 mRNA compared to na e CD8+ Treg.39 A list of these FGL2-expressing Treg and their properties is shown in Table 2. In an early report, we demonstrated that FGL2 directly inhibits T cell proliferation in response to various stimuli (alloantigen, ConA, and anti-CD3/ anti-CD28 mAbs) and promotes a Th2 response. Furthermore, FGL2 was found to inhibit the maturation of bone marrow-derived DC (BMDC), reducing their ability to stimulate T cells in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) co-cultures.40 In order to elucidate further the role of FGL2, we generated mice with a LumicitabineMedChemExpress ALS-8176 targeted deletion of fgl2 (fgl2-/-) and found that these mice have increased T cell, B cell, and DC reactivity compared to fgl2+/+ wild-type mice (Figure 2).13 Furthermore, Treg isolated from fgl2-/mice had impaired ability to suppress effector T cell proliferation. The fgl2-/- mice also develop autoimmune glomerulonephritis as they age, likely related to the state of immune activation.Figure 2. Immunoregulatory Function of FGL2. Mice deficient in FGL2 (fgl2-/-) have enhanced T cell, B cell, and DC function as shown in the figure. The fgl2-/- mice develop autoimmune glomerulonephritis as they age reflective of chronic immune activation.
