work, the possible role of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand I (PSGL-1) on the tolerogenic activity of human DCs was explored. We found that the engagement of PSGL-1 by P-selectin on DCs induced the expression of c-Fos, IDO, IL-10, and TGF-beta genes. Remarkably, stimulation of DCs through PSGL-1 with P-selectin enhanced their capability to generate CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells, which expressed high levels of TGF-beta 1 mRNA, synthesized IL-10, and suppressed the proliferation of autologous CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. Accordingly, we found that DCs from PSGL-1(-/-) mice expressed higher levels of MHC class H molecules, and exhibited an enhanced immunogenicity compared with wild-type mice. In addition, the percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells in the thymus of PSGL-1-deficient animals was significantly reduced. Our data reveal an unexpected role of PSGL-1 on the tolerogenic function of DCs, and the regulation of the immune response.
