Cutting edge: abortive proliferation of CD46-induced Tr1-like cells due to a defective Akt/Survivin signaling pathway.
Abstract : T regulatory cell 1 (Tr1) are low proliferating peripherally induced suppressive T cells. Engaging CD3 and CD46 on human CD4+ T cells induces a Tr1-like phenotype. In this study, we report that human Tr1-like cells do not sustain proliferation over time. The weak proliferation of these cells results first from their inability to sustain expression of various cell cycle-associated proteins, to efficiently degrade the inhibitor of cell cycle progression p27/Kip1 and, as a consequence, in their accumulation in the G0-G1 phase. Also, the reduced proliferation of Tr1-like cells results from their increased sensitivity to death as they divide, through a mechanism that is neither Fas-mediated nor Bcl2/Bcl-xL related. Both properties, impaired cell cycle and death sensitivity, are explained by a specific defective activation of Akt that impairs the expression of Survivin. Thus, our results show that CD3/CD46-induced Tr1-like cells die through a process of abortive proliferation.
