Abstrakt: Memory-phenotype (MP) CD4 + T lymphocytes develop from naïve cells via self-recognition at homeostasis. While previous studies defined MP cells as a heterogeneous population that comprises T helper 1 (T H 1)/17-like subsets, functional significance of the T-bet - Rorγt - subpopulation remains unknown. Here we show that MP lymphocytes as a whole population can differentiate into T H 1/17/regulatory T (T reg ) cells to mediate mild and persistent inflammation in lymphopenic environments, whereas naïve cells exhibit strong, T H 1-dominated responses. Moreover, we demonstrate that MP lymphocytes comprise not only T H 1/17-differentiated subsets but a polyclonal, transcriptomically immature "undifferentiated" subpopulation at homeostasis. Furthermore, our data argue that while the T-bet + Rorγt - MP subset is terminally T H 1-differentiated, its undifferentiated counterpart retains the capacity to rapidly proliferate to differentiate into T H 1/17/T reg cells, with the latter response tonically constrained by preexisting T reg cells. Together, our results identify undifferentiated MP CD4 + T lymphocytes as a unique precursor that has a diverse differentiation potential to generate T H 1/17/T reg cells to contribute to pathogenesis of inflammation.
