This study demonstrates that CD4(+) T cells specific for an altered self-antigen differentiate to T cells secreting transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1. In this study, we utilized mice expressing an altered peptide ligand containing a single amino acid substitution of moth cytochrome c 88-103 peptide. In these mice, antigen-specific T cells escaping thymic negative selection differentiated into T cells with an effector/memory phenotype, CD44(high), CD45RB(low), CD62L(-) and CD25(intermediate). The expression of CD25 and high levels of CD44 was initiated in the thymus during the development from CD4(+)CD8(+) to CD4(+); a large proportion of maturing CD4(+) thymocytes expressed both CD25 and high levels of CD44. Upon antigen stimulation, CD4(+) T cells derived from these mice did not proliferate or secrete IL-2, but secreted TGF-beta1. Neutralizing antibodies to TGF-beta1 reversed the impaired proliferative responses to the antigen, suggesting that TGF-beta1 secreted from these T cells negatively regulates T cell responses.
