Regulatory T cells (Treg) maintain peripheral tolerance and play a critical role in the control of the immune response in infection, tumor defense, organ transplantation and allergy. CD4(+)CD25(high) Treg suppress the proliferation and cytokine production of CD4(+)CD25(-) responder T cells. The suppression requires cell-cell-contact and/or production of inhibitory cytokines like IL-10 or TGF-?. The current knowledge about the regulation of Treg suppressive function is limited. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are widely expressed in the innate immune system. They recognize conserved microbial ligands such as lipopolysaccharide, bacterial lipopeptides or viral and bacterial RNA and DNA. TLR play an essential role in innate immune responses and in the initiation of adaptive immune responses. However, certain TLR are also expressed in T lymphocytes, and the respective ligands can directly modulate T cell function. TLR2, TLR3, TLR5 and TLR9 act as costimulatory receptors to enhance proliferation and/or cytokine production of T-cell receptor-stimulated T lymphocytes. In addition, TLR2, TLR5 and TLR8 modulate the suppressive activity of naturally occurring CD4(+)CD25(high) Treg. The direct responsiveness of T lymphocytes to TLR ligands offers new perspectives for the immunotherapeutic manipulation of T cell responses. In this article we will discuss the regulation of Treg and other T cell subsets by TLR ligands.
