组织驻留型CD8+记忆T细胞塑造次级T细胞反应
2020-07-16 15:09

荷兰阿姆斯特丹大学的Klaas P. J. M. van Gisbergen研究团队的最新工作表明,组织驻留型CD8+记忆T细胞(TRM细胞)塑造局部和全身性次级T细胞反应。2020年7月13日,《自然—免疫学》杂志在线发表了这项成果。

研究人员开发了一个独特的谱系示踪小鼠模型,该模型利用了T细胞中TRM定义的转录因子同源物Blimp-1(Hobit)来确定次级反应中TRM后代的命运。再感染后,循环中相当一部分次级记忆T细胞在TRM细胞的下游发育。这些经历过组织的前TRM细胞与效应记忆T细胞群体具有表型特性,但在转录和功能上不同于其他次级效应记忆T细胞。
 
TRM细胞的过继转移实验证实了它们在重激活反应期间形成循环效应细胞和记忆细胞的潜力。此外,原代TRM细胞群体的特异性敲除损害了局部和系统性的继发性T细胞应答。因此,TRM细胞在重新感染后仍保持发育可塑性,并塑造局部和全身性T细胞反应。
 
据介绍,TRM细胞在防止入侵病原体方面起着至关重要的作用,但尚不清楚再感染对其组织范围的影响以及对重激活反应的贡献。

Abstract: Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM cells) are crucial in protecting against reinvading pathogens, but the impact of reinfection on their tissue confinement and contribution to recall responses is unclear. We developed a unique lineage tracer mouse model exploiting the TRM-defining transcription factor homolog of Blimp-1 in T cells (Hobit) to fate map the TRM progeny in secondary responses. After reinfection, a sizeable fraction of secondary memory T cells in the circulation developed downstream of TRM cells. These tissue-experienced ex-TRM cells shared phenotypic properties with the effector memory T cell population but were transcriptionally and functionally distinct from other secondary effector memory T cell cells. Adoptive transfer experiments of TRM cells corroborated their potential to form circulating effector and memory cells during recall responses. Moreover, specific ablation of primary TRM cell populations substantially impaired the secondary T cell response, both locally and systemically. Thus, TRM cells retain developmental plasticity and shape both local and systemic T cell responses on reinfection. Van Gisbergen and colleagues show that tissue-resident memory T cells, genetically marked in Hobit reporter mice, can exit tissues upon reinfection and contribute to systemic memory responses.
