Cutting Edge: ICOS-Deficient Regulatory T Cells Display Normal Induction of Il10 but Readily Downregulate Expression of Foxp3 [CUTTING EDGE]

The ICOS pathway has been implicated in the development and functions of regulatory T (Treg) cells, including those producing IL-10. Treg cell–derived IL-10 is indispensable for the establishment and maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis. We examined the possible involvement of the ICOS pathway in the accumulation of murine colonic Foxp3- and/or IL-10–expressing cells. We show that ICOS deficiency does not impair induction of IL-10 by intestinal CD4 T cells but, instead, triggers substantial reductions in gut-resident and peripherally derived Foxp3+ Treg cells. ICOS deficiency is associated with reduced demethylation of Foxp3 CNS2 and enhanced loss of Foxp3. This instability significantly limits the ability of ICOS-deficient Treg cells to reverse ongoing inflammation. Collectively, our results identify a novel role for ICOS costimulation in imprinting the functional stability of Foxp3 that is required for the retention of full Treg cell function in the periphery.
