✦ Synopsis

Only small populations of nonactivated, nonproliferating Foxp3 ؉ CD4 regulatory T cell (T R ) cells are found in the nonparenchymal cell compartment of the mouse liver while liver-draining celiac nodes contain expanded, activated T R cell populations (similar to other lymph nodes). Liver Foxp3 ؉ CD4 T R cells suppress activation of T cell responses. Polyclonal, systemic T cell activation in vivo (via anti-CD3 antibody injection) is accompanied by intrahepatic accumulation of T blasts and a rapid but transient intrahepatic increase of activated, proliferating Foxp3 ؉ CD4 T R cells. Following vaccination, the appearance of peripherally primed, specific CD8 T blasts in the liver is preceded by a transient rise of Foxp3 ؉ CD4 T R cells in the liver. The adoptive transfer of immune CD8 T cells into congenic hosts that express the relevant antigen only in the liver leads to the accumulation of specific donor CD8 T cells and of host Foxp3 ؉ CD4 T R cells in the liver. Conclusion: Although it contains only a small population of quiescent Foxp3 ؉ CD4 T R cells, the liver can rapidly mobilize and/or recruit this T cell control in response to the intrahepatic appearance of peripherally or locally generated CD8 T blasts.

The transcription factor FOXP3 plays a key role in CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cell function and represents a specific marker for these cells. Despite its strong association with regulatory T cell function, in humans little is known about the frequency of CD4 + CD25 + cells that express FOXP3 protein
