3 Fig 1 CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells in the lungs expressed IL-33 receptor ST2. A, ST2 expression on CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells was examined in spleens and lungs of BALB/c-Foxp3EGFP reporter mice. Foxp3EGFPSt2-/- mice were used as a control. 7-AAD, 7-Aminoactinomycin D; FSC, forward scatter; SSC, side scatter. B, ST2 expression in CD4+Foxp3eGFP+ and CD4+Foxp3eGFP− cell populations is shown in histograms. In Fig 1, A and B, data are representative of 3 independent experiments. C, Frequencies of ST2+ cells within the CD4+Foxp3eGFP+ and CD4+Foxp3eGFP− populations in the spleen and lung are shown. Data are shown as means ± SEMs from 4 mice. **P < .01 compared with the spleen. D, ST2+CD4+Foxp3eGFP+ and ST2−CD4+Foxp3eGFP+ cells were isolated by means of sorting from the lungs of naive Foxp3EGFP mice and cultured with medium or IL-33 for 24 hours. St2 mRNA expression was examined by using real-time qRT-PCR and normalized to its expression in CD4+Foxp3eGFP− cells isolated from naive Foxp3EGFP reporter mice. Data are shown as means ± SEMs from 3 mice. *P < .05 and **P < .01 between the groups indicated by horizontal lines.
