Regulatory T cells can suppress early neutrophil infiltration in contact hypersensitivity reactions by strengthening endothelial cell connections, preventing leakage of inflammatory cells and downregulating immune responses.
The healing phase of contact hypersensitivity reactions is critically dependent on regulatory T cells (Tregs), but even the early inflammatory phase, that is, 6-24 hours after induction of a contact hypersensitivity reaction, is susceptible to Treg-mediated suppression. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we injected Tregs before the challenge and analyzed the skin-infiltrating cells as early as 6 hours later. Early on, we found mainly neutrophils in the challenged skin, but only a few T cells. This influx of neutrophils was blocked by the injection of Tregs, indicating that they were able to prevent the first wave of leukocytes, which are responsible for starting an immune reaction. As an underlying mechanism, we identified that Tregs can tighten endothelial junctions by inducing intracellular cAMP, leading to protein kinase A-RhoA.dependent signaling. This eventually reorganizes endothelial junction proteins, such as Notch3, Nectin 2, Filamin B, and VE-cadherin, all of which contribute to the tightening of the endothelial barrier. In summary, Tregs prevent the leakage of proinflammatory cells from and into the tissue, which establishes a mechanism to downregulate immune reactions.
