Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta exerts a counter-regulatory effect on interleukin (IL)-12-mediated immune modulation. The underlying mechanism is not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that the expression of IL-12Rbeta1 and IL-12Rbeta2 in MBP peptide Ac1-11-primed splenocytes is upregulated upon antigen stimulation. TGF-beta induces an unresponsiveness of these primed splenocytes to IL-12 signaling through a mechanism involved in inhibition of both IL-12Rbeta1 and beta2. The modulation of IL-12Rbeta1 and beta2 expression by Ac1-11 stimulation and TGF-beta is mainly involved in CD4+ population. These data indicate that both IL-12Rbeta1 and IL-12Rbeta2 expression are crucial during T cell activation. TGF-beta-induced inhibition of IL-12R expression will reduce cellular immune responses during IL-12-mediated autoimmune disease.
