Abstrakt: | FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are necessary to coordinate resolution of lung inflammation and a return to homeostasis after respiratory viral infections, but the specific molecular requirements for these functions and the cell types governed by Treg cells remain unclear. This question holds significance as clinical trials of Treg cell transfer therapy for respiratory viral infection are being planned and executed. Here, we report causal experiments in mice determining that Treg cells are necessary to control the numbers of activated CD8+ T cells during recovery from influenza infection. Using a genetic strategy paired with adoptive transfer techniques, we determined that Treg cells require the transcription factor TBET to regulate these potentially pro-inflammatory CD8+ T cells. Surprisingly, we found that Treg cells are dispensable for the generation of CD8+ lung tissue resident-memory T (Trm) cells yet similarly influence the transcriptional programming of CD8+ Trm and activated T cells. Our study highlights the role of Treg cells in regulating the CD8+ T cell response during recovery from influenza infection.
