    Abstract:

    AIM: To investigate whether CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells play a role in the development of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID). METHODS: The dynamic changes in the frequency of CD4+CD25+ T cells, CD4+CD25+ FoxP3+ T cells and CD4+CD25+ PD-1+ T cells from spleens of mice with ACAID were analyzed by flow cytometry. Foxp3 mRNA expression in purified CD4+CD25+ T cells was analyzed using real-time PCR. The suppressive effect of purified CD4+CD25+ T cells on the proliferation of CD4+CD25– T cells was evaluated by [3H] thymidine incorporation. A blocking experiment was performed to further address the role of CD4+CD25+ T cells in ACAID. The expression of IL-10 in purified CD4+CD25+ T cells was evaluated by ELISA. RESULTS: Increased frequencies of CD4+CD25+ T cells, CD4+CD25+ FoxP3+ T cells and CD4+CD25+ PD-1+ T cells were observed in ACAID. The CD4+CD25+ T cells from mice with ACAID showed enhanced suppressive effect on the proliferation of CD4+CD25– T cells. Treatment of BALB/c mice with anti-CD25 antibody after injection of OVA into the anterior chamber significantly inhibited the induction of ACAID. Furthermore, purified CD4+CD25+ T cells from ACAID mice secreted IL-10. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate that Treg cells are induced in the mice undergoing ACAID. These Treg cells may play a role in the development of ACAID.
