N2 - In this study we demonstrate a new form of immunoregulation: engagement on CD4+ T cells of the complement regulator CD46 promoted the effector potential of T helper type 1 cells (T H 1 cells), but as interleukin 2 (IL-2) accumulated, it switched cells toward a regulatory phenotype, attenuating IL-2 production via the transcriptional regulator ICER/CREM and upregulating IL-10 after interaction of the CD46 tail with the serine-threonine kinase SPAK. Activated CD4 + T cells produced CD46 ligands, and blocking CD46 inhibited IL-10 production. Furthermore, CD4+ T cells in rheumatoid arthritis failed to switch, consequently producing excessive interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Finally, γδ T cells, which rarely produce IL-10, expressed an alternative CD46 isoform and were unable to switch. Nonetheless, coengagement of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) γδ and CD46 suppressed effector cytokine production, establishing that CD46 uses distinct mechanisms to regulate different T cell subsets during an immune response.
