The TCR repertoire of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is highly diverse. The relevance
of this diversity to maintain self-tolerance remains unknown. We established a
model where the TCR repertoire of normal polyclonal Tregs was limited by serial
transfers into IL-2R?(-/-) mice, which lack functional Tregs. After a primary
transfer, the donor Treg TCR repertoire was substantially narrowed, yet the
recipients remained autoimmune-free. Importantly, upon purification and transfer
of donor-derived Tregs from an individual primary recipient into neonatal
IL-2R?(-/-) mice, the secondary recipients developed autoimmunity. In this study,
the Treg TCR? repertoire was reshaped and further narrowed. In contrast,
secondary IL-2R? recipients showed fewer symptoms of autoimmunity when they
received donor Tregs that were premixed from several primary recipients to
increase their TCR? repertoire diversity. About 8-11% of the Treg TCR? repertoire
was estimated to be the minimum required to establish and maintain tolerance in
primary IL-2R?(-/-) recipients. Collectively, these data quantify where
limitations imposed on the Treg TCR? repertoire results in a population of Tregs
that cannot fully suppress polyclonal autoreactive T cells. Our data favor a
model where the high diversity of the Treg TCR provides a mechanism for Tregs to
actively adapt and effectively suppress autoreactive T cells, which are not
fixed, but are evolving as they encounter self-antigens.
