Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases. To clarify the role of T regulatory cells (Tregs) in the immunoregulatory effect of IVIg, we focused on human inducible T regulatory cells (iTregs) and investigated the mechanism of action of IVIg. When immunoglobulin G (IgG) was added to a culture system that differentiates iTregs from anti-CD3 antibody activated CD4+CD25− T cells in the presence of syngeneic immature dendritic cells, interleukin (IL)-2 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), the expression of forkhead box P3 (FoxP3), which is the master transcription factor for Tregs in CD4+CD25+ T cells, increased in an IgG concentration-dependent manner. The expression of FoxP3 in iTregs in the 20 mg/mL IgG group was twice as high as that in the saline group. iTregs that highly expressed FoxP3 not only partially suppressed the polyclonal proliferative response of T cells derived from the same individual but also produced significantly more inhibitory cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β. The ability of IgG to enhance iTregs differentiation was also observed in the Fc fragment, but not in the F(ab′)₂ fragment. These results suggest the clinical regulation of immune responses by IVIg administration may contribute at least to enhancing the differentiation of iTregs and partial immunosuppressive functions.
