| Research Abstract |
Corneal endothelial cells have immunosuppressive activities. We report here that human corneal endothelial cell lines significantly suppressed activation of CD4^+ T cells, CD8^+ T cells, pan-T cells in vitro. Moreover, cultured corneal endothelial cell lines converted CD8^+ T cells into Treg cells that have immunosuppressive capacity. The CE-induced Treg cells greatly expressed CD25high and Foxp3. Therefore, we demonstrated that human corneal endothelial cells indicate suppression of bystander T cell activation and induction of regulatory T cells in vitro.
