The objective of this Ph.D. thesis was to investigate the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in physiological and pathological bone remodeling. We first in vitro characterized the suppressive effects of Tregs on the differentiation of the bone resorptive cells or osteoclasts. The effect was found to be directly mediated and to require cell to cell contact between the monocytic precursors of osteoclasts and Tregs. In addition, Tregs mediated expression of TGFβ, IL-4 and IL-10 contributed, but was not essential, to the inhibitory effect on osteoclastogenesis. The co-stimulatory receptor CTLA-4 expressed on the surface of Tregs was the main mediator of their suppressive effect that was abolished in monocytes lacking both the CTLA-4 ligand...
