Vitamin A deficiency impairs both T helper type 1 (Th1)- and type 2 (Th2)-mediated immune responses, although Th2 responses seem to be principally affected. Multiple mechanisms are involved in this immune suppression, but the hypothesis that deficiency affects development of Th1/Th2 memory cell phenotype has not been tested directly in vivo. To do so, lymphocytes from DO11.10 T cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic mice were transferred to vitamin A-deficient or control BALB/c recipients. Recipients were then immunized with the cognate peptide antigen for the TCR-transgenic D011.10 T cells (OVA(323-339)). After 2-5 wk, the transferred OVA(323-339)-Specific T cells were identified from draining lymph nodes with the TCR-clonotypic antibody KJ1-26, and their Th1/Th2 phenotype was characterized by intracellular cytokine staining after in vitro stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin. The percentage of CD4(+)KJ1-26(+) cells positive for IL-10 was 100% greater in vitamin A-deficient mice (3.49 +/- 0.41%; mean +/- SE) than in control mice (1.74 +/- 0.37%). IL-4 did not differ between groups. In addition, the percentages of CD4(+)KJ1-26(+) cells from vitamin A-deficient mice that were positive for interferon (IFN)-gamma (8.8 +/- 0.73%) and interleukin (IL)-2 (39.5 +/- 3.1%) were both lower than the percentages in control mice (11.4 +/- 0.67 and 47.0 +/- 2.8%, respectively). Thus vitamin A deficiency, at the time of initial antigen exposure, enhances the development of IL-10-producing Th2 or T regulatory cells and diminishes the development of Th1 memory cells.
