dc.description.abstract | Forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3+) regulatory T (Treg) cells and interleukin (IL)‐17‐producing T helper 17 (Th17) cells have opposing effects on autoimmunity, as the former are crucial for maintaining self‐tolerance while the latter play a key role in precipitating inflammatory autoimmune diseases. Here we report that Bacillus‐derived poly‐γ‐glutamic acid (γ‐PGA) signals naive CD4+ T cells to promote the selective differentiation of Treg cells and to suppress the differentiation of Th17 cells. The γ‐PGA inducibility of FoxP3 expression was due partially to transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β induction through a Toll‐like receptor (TLR)‐4/myeloid differentiating factor 88 (MyD88)‐dependent pathway. However, this pathway was dispensable for γ‐PGA suppression of Th17 differentiation. γ‐PGA inhibited IL‐6‐driven induction of Th17‐specific factors including signal transducer and activator of transcription‐3 (STAT‐3) and retinoic acid‐related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) while up‐regulating the STAT‐3 inhibitor suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3). Importantly, in vivo administration of γ‐PGA attenuated the symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and at the same time reduced Th17 cell infiltrates in the central nervous system. Thus, we have identified the microbe‐associated molecular pattern, γ‐PGA, as a novel regulator of autoimmune responses, capable of promoting the differentiation of anti‐inflammatory Treg cells and suppressing the differentiation of proinflammatory Th17 cells. These findings draw attention to the potential of γ‐PGA for treating Th17 cell‐mediated autoimmune diseases. | en_US |
