BACKGROUND: Regulatory T cells (Treg) in diverse species include CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. In all species, CD8+ Treg have been only partially characterized and there is no rat model in which CD4+ and CD8+ FOXP3+ Treg are genetically tagged. RESULTS: We generated a Foxp3-EGFP rat transgenic line in which FOXP3 gene was expressed and controlled EGFP. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were the only cells that expressed EGFP, in similar proportion as observed with anti-FOXP3 antibodies and co-labeled in the same cells. CD4+EGFP+ Treg were 5-10 times more frequent than CD8+EGFP+ Treg. The suppressive activity of CD4+ and CD8+ Treg was largely confined to EGFP+ cells. RNAseq analyses showed similarities but also differences among CD4+ and CD8+ EGFP+ cells and provided the first description of the natural FOXP3+CD8+ Treg transcriptome. In vitro culture of CD4+ and CD8+ EGFP- cells with TGFbeta and IL-2 generated induced EGFP+ Treg. CD4+ and CD8+ EGFP+ Treg were expanded upon in vivo administration of a low dose of IL-2. CONCLUSIONS: This new and unique rat line constitutes a useful model to identify and isolate viable CD4+ and CD8+ FOXP3+ Treg. Additionally, it allows to identify molecules expressed in CD8+ Treg that may allow to better define their phenotype and function not only in rats but also in other species.
