Role of LAG-3 in Regulatory T Cells

Abstract: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) limit autoimmunity but also attenuate the magnitude of antipathogen and antitumor immunity. Understanding the mechanism of Treg function and therapeutic manipulation of Tregs in vivo requires identification of Treg-selective receptors. A comparative analysis of gene expression arrays from antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells differentiating to either an effector/memory or a regulatory phenotype revealed Treg-selective expression of LAG-3, a CD4-related molecule that binds MHC class II.

“…C3-HA-expressing transgenic (recipient) mice have been described [27]. The hemagglutinin gene derived from influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (Mount Sinai strain), placed under the control of the rat C3 promoter, was established on the B10.D2 background homozygous for Thy1.2.…”

“…6-8 Among the new targets are co-inhibitory receptors such as lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3), an immunosuppressive receptor expressed on activated T lymphocytes and T-regulatory lymphocytes, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-3 (TIM3), T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT), which are expressed on exhausted CD8 + T cells in tumors. 9-11 Besides improving CD8 + T cell function, LAG-3, TIM3, and TIGIT blockade is expected to affect tumor tissue Treg cells and interleukin (IL)-10-producing Tr1 cells, with TIM3 and TIGIT blockade also potentially improving dendritic cell phenotype. B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is another co-inhibitory receptor whose expression is induced during activation of T cells, leading to inhibition of human CD8 + cancer-specific T cells.…”

“…To date, Tregs are best characterized by FOXP3-expression, whose transcription is fundamental for both differentiation and function 8 , complemented by additional markers such as CD25, GITR, LAG3 or low CD127 expression [9][10][11] [12][13][14] . Indeed, successful treatment of allergy by allergen-specific immunotherapy may depend on induction of Tregs 6,15 .…”
