GZMK-expressing CD8 T cells promote recurrent airway inflammatory diseases.

Nature

January 2025

Laboratory of Dynamic Immunobiology, Institute for Immunology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Inflammatory diseases are often chronic and recurrent, and current treatments do not typically remove underlying disease drivers. T cells participate in a wide range of inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, Crohn's disease, oesophagitis and multiple sclerosis, and clonally expanded antigen-specific T cells may contribute to disease chronicity and recurrence, in part by forming persistent pathogenic memory. Chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma are inflammatory airway diseases that often present as comorbidities.

Background: Live viral vector-based vaccines are known to elicit strong immune responses, but their use can be limited by anti-vector immunity. Here, we analyzed the immunological responses of a live-attenuated recombinant Pichinde virus (PICV) vector platform (rP18tri).

Methods: To evaluate anti-PICV immunity in the development of vaccine antigen-specific immune responses, we generated a rP18tri-based vaccine expressing the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) nucleoprotein (NP) and administered four doses of this rP18tri-NPLCMV vaccine to mice.

Blockade of immune checkpoints PD-1 and TIGIT has demonstrated activity in mouse tumor models and human patients with cancer. Although these coinhibitory receptors can restrict signaling in CD8 T cells by regulating their associated co-stimulatory receptors CD28 and CD226, the functional consequences of combining PD-1 and TIGIT blockade remain poorly characterized. In mouse tumor models, we show that combination blockade elicited CD226-driven clonal expansion of tumor antigen-specific CD8 T cells.

Identifying activated T lymphocytes and differentiating antigen-specific from bystander T cells is crucial for understanding adaptive immune responses. This study investigates the efficacy of activation-induced markers (AIMs) in distinguishing these cell populations. We measured the expression of commonly used AIMs (CD25, CD38, CD40L, CD69, CD137, HLA-DR, ICOS, and OX40) in an in vitro T-cell activation system and evaluated their sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value.
