Abstract
- Premature aging of both CD4 <superscript>+</superscript> regulatory T (Treg) and CD4 <superscript>+</superscript> responder-T (Tresp) cells in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is expected to affect the success of later kidney transplantation. Both T-cell populations are released from the thymus as inducible T-cell co-stimulator-positive (ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> ) and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> recent thymic emigrant (RTE) Treg/Tresp cells, which differ primarily in their proliferative capacities. In this study, we analysed the effect of ESRD and subsequent renal replacement therapies on the differentiation of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> RTE Treg/Tresp cells into ICOS <superscript>+</superscript>  CD31 <superscript>-</superscript> or ICOS <superscript>-</superscript>  CD31 <superscript>-</superscript> memory Treg/Tresp cells and examined whether diverging pathways affected the suppressive activity of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Treg cells in co-culture with autologous Tresp cells. Compared with healthy controls, we found an increased differentiation of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> RTE Treg/Tresp cells and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> RTE Treg cells through CD31 <superscript>+</superscript> memory Treg/Tresp cells into CD31 <superscript>-</superscript> memory Treg/Tresp cells in ESRD and dialysis patients. In contrast, ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> RTE Tresp cells showed an increased differentiation via ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> mature naive (MN) Tresp cells into CD31 <superscript>-</superscript> memory Tresp cells. Thereby, the ratio of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> Treg/ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> Tresp cells was not changed, whereas that of ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Treg/ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Tresp cells was significantly increased. This differentiation preserved the suppressive activity of both Treg populations in ESRD and partly in dialysis patients. After transplantation, the increased differentiation of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> RTE Tresp cells proceeded, whereas that of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> RTE Treg cells ceased and that of ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> RTE Treg cells switched to an increased differentiation via ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> MN Treg cells. Consequently, the ratios of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> Treg/ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> Tresp cells and of ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Treg/ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Tresp cells decreased significantly, reducing the suppressive activity of Treg cells markedly. Our data reveal that an increased tolerance-inducing differentiation of ICOS <superscript>+</superscript> and ICOS <superscript>-</superscript> Treg cells preserves the functional activity of Treg cells in ESRD patients, but this cannot be maintained during long-term renal replacement therapy.<br /> (© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)
