The two best-characterized types of CD4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are Foxp3(+) Tregs and Foxp3(-) 2 type 1 regulatory (Tr1) cells. The ability of Foxp3+ Tregs and Tr1 cells to suppress adaptive immune responses is well known, but how these cells regulate innate immunity is less defined. We discovered that CD44(hi)Foxp3(-) T cells from unmanipulated mice are enriched in Tr1 cell precursors, enabling differentiation of cells that express IL-10, as well as Tr1-associated cell surface markers, CD49b and LAG-3, and transcription factors, cMaf, Blimp-1, and AhR. We compared the ability of Tr1 cells versus Foxp3(+) Tregs to suppress IL-1 beta production from macrophages following LPS and ATP stimulation. Surprisingly, Tr1 cells, but not Foxp3(+) Tregs, inhibited the transcription of pro-IL-1 beta mRNA, inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1, and secretion of mature IL-1 beta. Consistent with the role for IL-10 in Tr1 cell-mediated suppression, inhibition of inflammasome activation and IL-1 beta secretion was abrogated in IL-10R-deficient macrophages. Moreover, IL-1 beta production from macrophages derived from Nlrp3(A350V) knockin mice, which carry a mutation found in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome patients, was suppressed by Tr1 cells but not Foxp3(+) Tregs. Using an adoptive transfer model, we found a direct correlation between Tr1 cell engraftment and protection from weight loss in mice expressing a gain-of-function NLRP3. Collectively, these data provide the first evidence for a differential role of Tr1 cells and Foxp3(+) Tregs in regulating innate immune responses. Through their capacity to produce high amounts of IL-10, Tr1 cells may have unique therapeutic effects in disease-associated inflammasome activation.
