Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), the major constituent of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) molecule, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Our laboratory has previously shown that ApoA1 protects against switching of regulatory T (Treg) cells to atherogenic T follicular helper cells in Western diet-fed mice. However, the role of ApoA1 in modulating Treg cell homeostasis in the absence of atherosclerosis remains uncharacterized. Here, we show that ApoA1 is required for normal Treg cell homeostasis and functioning at steady state. Specifically, lack of ApoA1 decreased the numbers of both natural and induced Treg cells and also lowered Treg cell-based homeostatic proliferation and suppressive functions. Importantly, these changes occurred without affecting other T cell populations. Finally, we determined that the observed phenotypes were caused by changes to cholesterol content and reduced interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor signaling in ApoA1-deficient Treg cells. Overall, our results show that ApoA1-HDL is necessary for Treg cell homeostasis and functioning.
