Interferon (IFN)gamma can have paradoxical functions, eliciting inflammatory T helper 1 (Th1)-driven immune responses in some circumstances, and enabling induced regulatory T (Treg) cells to control immune responses in others. Here, we propose a model in which IFN gamma produced rapidly and only transiently by induced Treg cells is crucial to their function in vivo. This early production of IFN gamma by induced Treg cells during an immune response can directly inhibit the activation and proliferation of IFN gamma R1- and IFN gamma R2-bearing T cells. Furthermore, it can indirectly prevent further T-cell activation by creating a microenvironment that influences the function of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) as a result of IFN gamma-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression.
