CD134 (OX40) is expressed on activated CD4(+) donor T cells in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients with acute graft-versus-host disease. The data presented here reveal that differential expression of CD25 by CD4(+) CD134(+) T cells allows separation of these activated cells into 2 phenotypically and functionally distinct alloreactive T-cell subsets. These subsets exhibit distinct tissue associations, with CD4(+) CD134(+) CD25(-) T cells preferentially found in lymphoid tissues and CD4(+) CD134(+) CD25(+) T cells located in lymphoid tissues and inflamed extralymphoid tissues. The CD25(-) T-cell subset exhibited potent proliferative responses to both concanavalin A and allogeneic host leukocytes. By contrast, the CD25(+) T-cell subset proliferated minimally in response to either treatment and inhibited alloantigen-induced proliferation of the CD25(-) subset. Proliferative unresponsiveness associated with the CD25(+) T-cell subset did not extend to cytokine secretion. When stimulated with alloantigen, both CD4(+) CD134(+) T-cell subsets responded by secreting interferon-gamma and interleukin (IL)-10, and neither T-cell subset produced detectable levels of IL-2 or IL-4. Three-day treatment of the CD25(+) T-cell subset with IL-2 restored the proliferative responsiveness of these cells to host alloantigens, suggesting that the proliferative unresponsiveness associated with this T-cell subset reflected a requirement for IL-2. The preferential tissue associations and distinct functional properties associated with these separable alloreactive CD4(+) CD134(+) T-cell subsets suggest that they participate differentially in clinical graft-versus-host disease.
