Successful Ag activation of naive T helper cells requires at least two signals consisting of TCR and CD28 on the T cell interacting with MHC II and CD80/CD86, respectively, on APCs. Recent evidence demonstrates that a third signal consisting of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the innate immune response is important in arming the adaptive immune response. In an effort to curtail the generation of an Ag-specific T cell response, we targeted the synthesis of innate immune response signals to generate Ag-specific hyporesponsiveness. We have reported that modulation of redox balance with a catalytic antioxidant effectively inhibited the generation of third signal components from the innate immune response (TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, ROS). In this study, we demonstrate that innate immune-derived signals are necessary for adaptive immune effector function and disruption of these signals with in vivo CA treatment conferred Ag-specitic hyporesponsiveness in BALB/c, NOD, DO11.10, and BDC-2.5 mice after immunization. Modulating redox balance led to decreased Ag-specific T cell proliferation and IFN-gamma synthesis by diminishing ROS production in the APC, which affected TNF-alpha levels produced by CD4(+) T cells and impairing effector function. These results demonstrate that altering redox status can be effective in T cell-mediated diseases such as autoimmune diabetes to generate Ag-specific immunosuppression because it inhibits the third signal necessary for CD4(+) T cells to transition from expansion to effector function.
