Chemokines and chemokine receptors are implicated in regulatory T cell (Treg) trafficking to sites of inflammation and suppression of excessive immune responses in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases; however, the specific requirements for Treg migration into the inflamed organs and the positioning of these cells within the tissue are incompletely understood. Here, we report that Tregs expressing the T_H1–associated chemokine receptor CXCR3 are enriched in the kidneys of patients with ANCA–associated crescentic GN and colocalize with CXCR3⁺ effector T cells. To investigate the functional role of CXCR3⁺ Tregs, we generated mice that lack CXCR3 in Tregs specifically (Foxp3^eGFP-Cre x Cxcr3^fl/fl) and induced experimental crescentic GN. Treg-specific deletion of CXCR3 resulted in reduced Treg recruitment to the kidney and an overwhelming T_H1 immune response, with an aggravated course of the nephritis that was reversible on anti-IFN treatment. Together, these findings show that a subset of Tregs expresses CXCR3 and thereby, acquires trafficking properties of pathogenic CXCR3⁺ T_H1 cells, allowing Treg localization and control of excessive T_H1 responses at sites of inflammation.
