ABSTRACTMale and female immune responses are known to differ resulting in an increased prevalence of autoimmunity in women. Here sex differences in T-cell subset frequency and function during adolescence were examined in healthy donors and patients with the autoimmune disease juvenile (J)SLE; onset of JSLE commonly occurs during puberty suggesting a strong hormonal influence. Healthy adolescent males had increased regulatory T-cell (Treg) frequency, and increased Treg suppressive capacity and IL-4 production compared to healthy adolescent females. The T-helper 2-like profile in male Tregs was associated with increased expression of GATA3 which correlated significantly with elevated Treg plasma membrane glycosphingolipid expression. Differential Treg phenotype was associated with unique serum metabolomic profiles in males compared to female adolescents. Notably, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) metabolomic signatures correlated positively with activated Tregs in males but with resting Tregs in females. Consistently, only VLDL isolated from male serum was able to induce increased Treg IL-4 production and glycosphingolipid expression following in cultured cells. Remarkably, gender differences in Treg frequency, phenotype and function and serum metabolomic profiles were lost in adolescents with JSLE. This work provides evidence that a combination of pubertal development, immune cell defects and dyslipidemia may contribute to JSLE pathogenesis.

In this issue of JEM, Bergman et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20160471) challenge the data published in our previous JEM paper on the preventive effect of tolerogenic vaccination with a strong agonist insulin mimetope in type 1 diabetes. Here, we provide a response to these data and suggest that appropriate subimmunogenic conditions are required to induce Foxp3+ regulatory T cell conversion.
