Germinal Center B Cells are Uniquely Targeted by Antibody-Suppressor CXCR5CD8 T Cells.

Transplant Direct

February 2025

Department of Surgery, Comprehensive Transplant Center, and the College of Medicine, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.

Background: Alloprimed antibody-suppressor CXCR5CD8 T cells (CD8 T cells) downregulate alloantibody production, mediate cytotoxicity of IgG B cells, and prolong allograft survival. The purpose of this investigation was to determine which immune-cell subsets are susceptible to CD8 T cell-mediated cytotoxicity or noncytotoxic suppression.

Methods: Alloprimed immune-cell subsets were evaluated for susceptibility to CD8 T cell-mediated in vitro cytotoxicity and/or suppression of intracellular cytokine expression.

Article Synopsis
  • The objective of the review was to assess and enhance research training during surgical residency to better align with modern surgical education and academic demands.
  • The research identified a significant gap in standardized research training across surgical programs, with dedicated scholarly activity proving beneficial for residents.
  • Recommendations include establishing minimum standards and flexible training options to ensure future surgeons are well-prepared for academic practice.

Objective: An expert panel made recommendations to optimize surgical education and training based on the effects of contemporary challenges.

Background: The inaugural Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC I) proposed sweeping recommendations for surgical education and training in 2004. In light of those findings, a second BRC (BRC II) was convened to make recommendations to optimize surgical training considering the current landscape in medical education.

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), especially with CD4+ regulatory T cells (CD4+ Tregs), is an emerging therapeutic strategy to minimize immunosuppression and promote long-term allograft acceptance, although much research remains to realize its potential. In this study, we investigated the potency of novel Ab-suppressor CXCR5+CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TAb-supp) in comparison with conventional CD25highFoxp3+CD4+ Tregs for suppression of humoral alloimmunity in a murine kidney transplant (KTx) model of Ab-mediated rejection (AMR). We examined quantity of peripheral blood, splenic and graft-infiltrating CD8+ TAb-supp, and CD4+ Tregs in KTx recipients and found that high alloantibody-producing CCR5 knockout KTx recipients have significantly fewer post-transplant peripheral blood and splenic CD8+ TAb-supp, as well as fewer splenic and graft-infiltrating CD4+ Tregs compared with wild-type KTx recipients.

Background: Adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) with antibody-suppressor CXCR5 + CD8 + T cells (CD8 + T Ab-supp ) inhibits alloantibody production, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), and prolongs graft survival in multiple transplant mouse models. However, it is not known how conventional immunosuppressive agents impact the efficacy of CD8 + T Ab-supp ACT.

Methods: We investigated the efficacy of CD8 + T Ab-supp cell ACT when combined with calcineurin inhibitor (CNi) or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (mTORi) in a murine model of kidney transplant.
