T cells are born fromhematopoietic stem cells,[1]found in thebone marrow.Developing T cells then migrate to thethymusgland to develop (or mature). T cells derive their name from thethymus.[2][3]After migration to the thymus, the precursor cells mature into several distinct types of T cells. T cell differentiation also continues after they have left the thymus. Groups of specific, differentiated T cell subtypes have a variety of important functions in controlling and shaping theimmune response.
One of these functions is immune-mediated cell death, and it is carried out by two major subtypes:CD8+ "killer"(cytotoxic) andCD4+ "helper"T cells. (These are named for the presence of the cell surface proteinsCD8orCD4.) CD8+ T cells, also known as "killer T cells", arecytotoxic– this means that they are able to directly kill virus-infected cells, as well as cancer cells. CD8+ T cells are also able to use small signalling proteins, known ascytokines,to recruit other types of cells when mounting an immune response. A different population of T cells, the CD4+ T cells, function as "helper cells". Unlike CD8+ killer T cells, the CD4+ helper T (TH) cells function by further activatingmemory B cellsand cytotoxic T cells, which leads to a larger immune response. The specific adaptive immune response regulated by the THcell depends on its subtype (such as T-helper1, T-helper2, T-helper17, regulatory T-cell),[4]which is distinguished by the types of cytokines they secrete.[2]
Regulatory T cellsare yet another distinct population of T cells that provide the critical mechanism oftolerance,wherebyimmune cellsare able to distinguish invading cells from "self". This prevents immune cells from inappropriately reacting against one's own cells, known as an "autoimmune"response. For this reason, these regulatory T cells have also been called" suppressor "T cells. These same regulatory T cells can also be co-opted by cancer cells to prevent the recognition of, and an immune response against, tumor cells.
Development
editOrigin, early development and migration to the thymus
editAll T cells originate from c-kit+Sca1+haematopoietic stem cells(HSC) which reside in the bone marrow. In some cases, the origin might be the fetalliverduringembryonic development.The HSC then differentiate into multipotent progenitors (MPP) which retain the potential to become bothmyeloidandlymphoid cells.The process of differentiation then proceeds to a common lymphoid progenitor (CLP), which can only differentiate into T, B or NK cells.[5]These CLP cells then migrate via the blood to the thymus, where theyengraft:.Henceforth they are known asthymocytes,the immature stage of a T cell.
The earliest cells which arrived in the thymus are commonly termeddouble-negative,as they express neither theCD4norCD8co-receptor. The newly arrived CLP cells are CD4−CD8−CD44+CD25−ckit+cells, and are termed early thymic progenitor (ETP) cells.[6]These cells will then undergo a round of division anddownregulatec-kit and are termeddouble-negative one(DN1) cells. To become T cells, the thymocytes must undergo multiple DN stages as well as positive selection and negative selection.
Double negative thymocytes can be identified by the surface expression ofCD2,CD5andCD7.Still during the double negative stages,CD34expression stops andCD1is expressed. Expression of both CD4 and CD8 makes themdouble positive,and matures into either CD4+ or CD8+ cells.
TCR development
editA critical step in T cell maturation is making a functional T cell receptor (TCR). Each mature T cell will ultimately contain a unique TCR that reacts to a random pattern, allowing the immune system to recognize many different types ofpathogens.This process is essential in developing immunity to threats that the immune system has not encountered before, since due to random variation there will always be at least one TCR to match any new pathogen.
A thymocyte can only become an active T cell when it survives the process of developing a functional TCR. The TCR consists of two major components, the Alpha and beta chains. These both contain random elements designed to produce a wide variety of different TCRs, but due to this huge variety they must be tested to make sure they work at all. First, the thymocytes attempt to create a functional beta chain, testing it against a 'mock' Alpha chain. Then they attempt to create a functional Alpha chain. Once a working TCR has been produced, the cells then must test if their TCR will identify threats correctly, and to do this it is required to recognize the body’smajor histocompatibility complex(MHC) in a process known as positive selection. The thymocyte must also ensure that it does not react adversely to "self"antigens,called negative selection. If both positive and negative selection are successful, the TCR becomes fully operational and the thymocyte becomes a T cell.
TCR β-chain selection
editAt the DN2 stage (CD44+CD25+), cells upregulate the recombination genes RAG1 and RAG2 and re-arrange theTCRβlocus, combiningV-D-J recombinationand constant region genes in an attempt to create a functional TCRβ chain. As the developing thymocyte progresses through to the DN3 stage (CD44−CD25+), the thymocyte expresses an invariant α-chain called pre-Tα alongside the TCRβ gene. If the rearranged β-chain successfully pairs with the invariant α-chain, signals are produced which cease rearrangement of the β-chain (and silence the alternate allele).[7]Although these signals require the pre-TCR at the cell surface, they are independent of ligand binding to the pre-TCR. If the chains successfully pair a pre-TCR forms, and the cell downregulates CD25 and is termed a DN4 cell (CD25−CD44−). These cells then undergo a round of proliferation, and begin to re-arrange the TCRα locus during thedouble-positivestage.
Positive selection
editThe process of positive selection takes 3 to 4 days and occurs in the thymic cortex.[8]Double-positive thymocytes (CD4+/CD8+) migrate deep into thethymic cortex,where they are presented with self-antigens.These self-antigens are expressed bythymic cortical epithelial cellson MHC molecules, which reside on the surface of cortical epithelial cells. Only thymocytes that interact well with MHC-I or MHC-II will receive a vital "survival signal", while those that cannot interact strongly enough will receive no signal and die from neglect. This process ensures that the surviving thymocytes will have an 'MHC affinity' that means they can serve useful functions in the body, responding to MHC molecules to assist immune responses. The vast majority of developing thymocytes will not pass positive selection, and die during this process.[9]
A thymocyte's fate is determined during positive selection. Double-positive cells (CD4+/CD8+) that interact well with MHCclass IImolecules will eventually become CD4+"helper" cells, whereas thymocytes that interact well with MHCclass Imolecules mature into CD8+"killer" cells. A thymocyte becomes a CD4+cell by down-regulating expression of its CD8 cell surface receptors. If the cell does not lose its signal, it will continue downregulating CD8 and become a CD4+,both CD8+and CD4+cells are nowsingle positivecells.[10]
This process does not filter for thymocytes that may causeautoimmunity.The potentially autoimmune cells are removed by the following process of negative selection, which occurs in the thymic medulla.
Negative selection
editNegative selection removes thymocytes that are capable of strongly binding with "self" MHC molecules. Thymocytes that survive positive selection migrate towards the boundary of the cortex and medulla in the thymus. While in the medulla, they are again presented with a self-antigen presented on the MHC complex ofmedullary thymic epithelial cells(mTECs).[11]mTECs must beAutoimmune regulatorpositive (AIRE+) to properly express self-antigens from all tissues of the body on their MHCclass Ipeptides. Some mTECs arephagocytosedbythymic dendritic cells;this makes them AIRE−antigen presenting cells(APCs), allowing for presentation of self-antigens on MHCclass IImolecules (positively selected CD4+cells must interact with these MHC class II molecules, thus APCs, which possess MHC class II, must be present for CD4+T-cell negative selection). Thymocytes that interact too strongly with the self-antigen receive anapoptoticsignal that leads to cell death. However, some of these cells are selected to becomeTregcells. The remaining cells exit the thymus as maturenaive T cells,also known as recent thymic emigrants.[12]This process is an important component ofcentral toleranceand serves to prevent the formation of self-reactive T cells that are capable of inducing autoimmune diseases in the host.
TCR development summary
editβ-selection is the first checkpoint, where thymocytes that are able to form a functional pre-TCR (with an invariant Alpha chain and a functional beta chain) are allowed to continue development in the thymus. Next, positive selection checks that thymocytes have successfully rearranged their TCRα locus and are capable of recognizing MHC molecules with appropriate affinity. Negative selection in the medulla then eliminates thymocytes that bind too strongly to self-antigens expressed on MHC molecules. These selection processes allow for tolerance of self by the immune system. Typical naive T cells that leave the thymus (via the corticomedullary junction) are self-restricted, self-tolerant, and single positive.
Thymic output
editAbout 98% of thymocytes die during the development processes in the thymus by failing either positive selection or negative selection, whereas the other 2% survive and leave the thymus to become mature immunocompetent T cells.[13] The thymus contributes fewer cells as a person ages. As the thymus shrinks by about 3%[14]a year throughout middle age, a corresponding fall in the thymic production of naive T cells occurs, leaving peripheral T cell expansion and regeneration to play a greater role in protecting older people.
Types of T cell
editT cells are grouped into a series of subsets based on their function. CD4 and CD8 T cells are selected in the thymus, but undergo further differentiation in the periphery to specialized cells which have different functions. T cell subsets were initially defined by function, but also have associated gene or protein expression patterns.
Conventional adaptive T cells
editHelper CD4+ T cells
editT helper cells(THcells) assist other lymphocytes, including the maturation ofB cellsintoplasma cellsandmemory B cells,and activation ofcytotoxic T cellsandmacrophages.These cells are also known asCD4+T cellsas they express theCD4glycoprotein on their surfaces. Helper T cells become activated when they are presented withpeptideantigensbyMHC class IImolecules, which are expressed on the surface ofantigen-presenting cells(APCs). Once activated, they divide rapidly and secretecytokinesthat regulate or assist the immune response. These cells can differentiate into one of several subtypes, which have different roles. Cytokines direct T cells into particular subtypes.[15]
Cell type | Cytokines Produced | Key Transcription Factor | Role in immune defense | Related diseases |
---|---|---|---|---|
Th1 | IFNγ,IL-2 | Tbet | Produce an inflammatory response, key for defense against intracellular bacteria, viruses and cancer. | MS, Type 1 diabetes |
Th2 | IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 | GATA-3 | Immunologically important against extracellular pathogens, such as worm infections | Asthma and other allergic diseases |
Th17 | IL-17F, IL-17A, IL-22 | RORγt | Defense against gut pathogens and at mucosal barriers | MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis |
Th9[16][17] | IL-9 | IRF4, PU.1 | Defense against helminths (parasitic worms) and cell-dependent allergic inflammation | Multiple Sclerosis |
Tfh | IL-21, IL-4 | Bcl-6 | Help B cells produce antibodies | Asthma and other allergic diseases |
Th22[18][17] | IL-22 | AHR | Pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases and predominantly anti-inflammatory | Crohn's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Tumors |
Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells
editCytotoxic T cells(TCcells, CTLs, T-killer cells, killer T cells) destroy virus-infected cells and tumor cells, and are also implicated intransplantrejection. These cells are defined by the expression of theCD8protein on their cell surface. Cytotoxic T cells recognize their targets by binding to short peptides (8-11amino acidsin length) associated withMHC class Imolecules, present on the surface of all nucleated cells. Cytotoxic T cells also produce the key cytokines IL-2 and IFNγ. These cytokines influence the effector functions of other cells, in particular macrophages and NK cells.
Memory T cells
editAntigen-naive T cells expand and differentiate into memory andeffector T cellsafter they encounter their cognate antigen within the context of an MHC molecule on the surface of a professional antigen presenting cell (e.g. a dendritic cell). Appropriate co-stimulation must be present at the time of antigen encounter for this process to occur. Historically, memory T cells were thought to belong to either the effector or central memory subtypes, each with their own distinguishing set of cell surface markers (see below).[19]Subsequently, numerous new populations of memory T cells were discovered including tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells, stem memory TSCM cells, and virtual memory T cells. The single unifying theme for allmemory T cellsubtypes is that they are long-lived and can quickly expand to large numbers of effector T cells upon re-exposure to their cognate antigen. By this mechanism they provide the immune system with "memory" against previously encountered pathogens. Memory T cells may be either CD4+or CD8+and usually expressCD45RO.[20]
Memory T cell subtypes:
- Central memory T cells (TCMcells) express CD45RO,C-C chemokine receptor type 7(CCR7), andL-selectin(CD62L). Central memory T cells also have intermediate to high expression ofCD44.This memory subpopulation is commonly found in thelymph nodesand in the peripheral circulation. (Note- CD44 expression is usually used to distinguish murine naive from memory T cells).
- Effector memory T cells (TEMcells and TEMRAcells) express CD45RO but lack expression of CCR7 andL-selectin.They also have intermediate to high expression ofCD44.These memory T cells lack lymph node-homing receptors and are thus found in the peripheral circulation and tissues.[21]TEMRAstands for terminally differentiated effector memory cells re-expressing CD45RA, which is a marker usually found on naive T cells.[22]
- Tissue-resident memory T cells(TRM) occupy tissues (skin, lung, etc.) without recirculating. One cell surface marker that has been associated with TRMis the intern αeβ7, also known as CD103.[23]
- Virtual memory T cells(TVM) differ from the other memory subsets in that they do not originate following a strong clonal expansion event. Thus, although this population as a whole is abundant within the peripheral circulation, individual virtual memory T cell clones reside at relatively low frequencies. One theory is that homeostatic proliferation gives rise to this T cell population. Although CD8 virtual memory T cells were the first to be described,[24]it is now known that CD4 virtual memory cells also exist.[25]
Regulatory CD4+ T cells
editRegulatory T cellsare crucial for the maintenance ofimmunological tolerance.Their major role is to shut down T cell–mediated immunity toward the end of an immune reaction and to suppressautoreactive T cellsthat escaped the process of negative selection in the thymus.
Two major classes of CD4+Tregcells have been described—FOXP3+Tregcells and FOXP3−Tregcells.
Regulatory T cells can develop either during normal development in the thymus, and are then known as thymic Treg cells, or can be induced peripherally and are called peripherally derived Treg cells. These two subsets were previously called "naturally occurring" and "adaptive" (or "induced" ), respectively.[26]Both subsets require the expression of thetranscription factorFOXP3which can be used to identify the cells. Mutations of theFOXP3gene can prevent regulatory T cell development, causing the fatalautoimmune diseaseIPEX.
Several other types of T cells have suppressive activity, but do not express FOXP3 constitutively. These includeTr1andTh3cells, which are thought to originate during an immune response and act by producing suppressive molecules. Tr1 cells are associated with IL-10, and Th3 cells are associated withTGF-beta.Recently,Th17 cellshave been added to this list.[27]
Innate-like T cells
editInnate-like T cellsorunconventional T cellsrepresent some subsets of T cells that behave differently in immunity. They trigger rapid immune responses, regardless of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) expression, unlike their conventional counterparts (CD4 T helper cells and CD8 cytotoxic T cells), which are dependent on the recognition of peptide antigens in the context of the MHC molecule. Overall, there are three large populations of unconventional T cells: NKT cells, MAIT cells, and gammadelta T cells. Now, their functional roles are already being well established in the context of infections and cancer.[28]Furthermore, these T cell subsets are being translated into many therapies against malignancies such as leukemia, for example.[29]
Natural killer T cell
editNatural killer T cells(NKT cells – not to be confused withnatural killer cellsof the innate immune system) bridge theadaptive immune systemwith theinnate immune system.Unlike conventional T cells that recognize protein peptide antigens presented bymajor histocompatibility complex(MHC) molecules, NKT cells recognize glycolipid antigens presented byCD1d.Once activated, these cells can perform functions ascribed to both helper and cytotoxic T cells: cytokine production and release of cytolytic/cell killing molecules. They are also able to recognize and eliminate some tumor cells and cells infected with herpes viruses.[30]
Mucosal associated invariant T cells
editMucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells displayinnate,effector-like qualities.[31][32]In humans, MAIT cells are found in the blood, liver, lungs, andmucosa,defending against microbial activity and infection.[31]TheMHC class I-like protein,MR1,is responsible for presenting bacterially-producedvitamin Bmetabolites to MAIT cells.[33][34][35]After the presentation of foreign antigen by MR1, MAIT cells secrete pro-inflammatorycytokinesand are capable oflysingbacterially-infected cells.[31][35]MAIT cells can also be activated through MR1-independent signaling.[35]In addition to possessing innate-like functions, this T cell subset supports theadaptiveimmune response and has a memory-like phenotype.[31]Furthermore, MAIT cells are thought to play a role inautoimmune diseases,such asmultiple sclerosis,arthritis andinflammatory bowel disease,[36][37]although definitive evidence is yet to be published.[38][39][40][41]
Gamma delta T cells
editGamma delta T cells(γδ T cells) represent a small subset of T cells which possess a γδ TCR rather than the αβ TCR on the cell surface. The majority of T cells express αβ TCR chains. This group of T cells is much less common in humans and mice (about 2% of total T cells) and are found mostly in the gutmucosa,within a population ofintraepithelial lymphocytes.In rabbits, sheep, and chickens, the number of γδ T cells can be as high as 60% of total T cells. The antigenic molecules that activate γδ T cells are still mostly unknown. However, γδ T cells are not MHC-restricted and seem to be able to recognize whole proteins rather than requiring peptides to be presented by MHC molecules onAPCs.Somemurineγδ T cells recognize MHC class IB molecules. Human γδ T cells that use the Vγ9 and Vδ2 gene fragments constitute the major γδ T cell population in peripheral blood. These cells are unique in that they specifically and rapidly respond to a set of nonpeptidic phosphorylatedisoprenoidprecursors, collectively namedphosphoantigens,which are produced by virtually all living cells. The most common phosphoantigens from animal and human cells (including cancer cells) areisopentenyl pyrophosphate(IPP) and its isomerdimethylallyl pyrophosphate(DMPP). Many microbes produce the active compound hydroxy-DMAPP (HMB-PP) and corresponding mononucleotide conjugates, in addition to IPP and DMAPP. Plant cells produce both types of phosphoantigens. Drugs activating human Vγ9/Vδ2 T cells comprise synthetic phosphoantigens andaminobisphosphonates,which upregulate endogenous IPP/DMAPP.
Activation
editActivation of CD4+T cells occurs through the simultaneous engagement of theT-cell receptorand a co-stimulatory molecule (likeCD28,orICOS) on the T cell by the major histocompatibility complex (MHCII)peptideand co-stimulatory molecules on theAPC.Both are required for production of an effective immune response; in the absence ofco-stimulation,T cell receptor signalling alone results inanergy.The signalling pathways downstream from co-stimulatory molecules usually engages thePI3Kpathway generatingPIP3at the plasma membrane and recruitingPH domaincontaining signaling molecules likePDK1that are essential for the activation ofPKC-θ,and eventualIL-2production. Optimal CD8+T cell response relies on CD4+signalling.[43]CD4+cells are useful in the initial antigenic activation of naive CD8 T cells, and sustaining memory CD8+T cells in the aftermath of an acute infection. Therefore, activation of CD4+T cells can be beneficial to the action of CD8+T cells.[44][45][46]
The first signal is provided by binding of the T cell receptor to its cognate peptide presented on MHCII on an APC. MHCII is restricted to so-called professionalantigen-presenting cells,like dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages, to name a few. The peptides presented to CD8+T cells by MHC class I molecules are 8–13 amino acids in length; the peptides presented to CD4+cells by MHC class II molecules are longer, usually 12–25 amino acids in length,[47]as the ends of the binding cleft of the MHC class II molecule are open.
The second signal comes from co-stimulation, in which surface receptors on the APC are induced by a relatively small number of stimuli, usually products of pathogens, but sometimes breakdown products of cells, such asnecrotic-bodies orheat shock proteins.The only co-stimulatory receptor expressed constitutively by naive T cells is CD28, so co-stimulation for these cells comes from theCD80andCD86proteins, which together constitute theB7protein, (B7.1 and B7.2, respectively) on the APC. Other receptors are expressed upon activation of the T cell, such asOX40and ICOS, but these largely depend upon CD28 for their expression. The second signal licenses the T cell to respond to an antigen. Without it, the T cell becomesanergic,and it becomes more difficult for it to activate in future. This mechanism prevents inappropriate responses to self, as self-peptides will not usually be presented with suitable co-stimulation. Once a T cell has been appropriately activated (i.e. has received signal one and signal two) it alters its cell surface expression of a variety of proteins. Markers of T cell activation include CD69, CD71 and CD25 (also a marker for Treg cells), and HLA-DR (a marker of human T cell activation). CTLA-4 expression is also up-regulated on activated T cells, which in turn outcompetes CD28 for binding to the B7 proteins. This is a checkpoint mechanism to prevent over activation of the T cell. Activated T cells also change their cell surface glycosylation profile.[48]
TheT cell receptorexists as a complex of several proteins. The actual T cell receptor is composed of two separate peptide chains, which are produced from the independent T cell receptor Alpha and beta (TCRαandTCRβ) genes. The other proteins in the complex are theCD3proteins: CD3εγ and CD3εδ heterodimers and, most important, a CD3ζ homodimer, which has a total of sixITAMmotifs. The ITAM motifs on the CD3ζ can be phosphorylated byLckand in turn recruitZAP-70.Lck and/or ZAP-70 can also phosphorylate thetyrosineson many other molecules, not least CD28,LATandSLP-76,which allows the aggregation of signalling complexes around these proteins.
PhosphorylatedLATrecruits SLP-76 to the membrane, where it can then bring inPLC-γ,VAV1,Itkand potentiallyPI3K.PLC-γ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 on the inner leaflet of the membrane to create the active intermediaries diacylglycerol (DAG), inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3); PI3K also acts on PIP2, phosphorylating it to produce phosphatidlyinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). DAG binds and activates some PKCs. Most important in T cells is PKC-θ, critical for activating the transcription factorsNF-κBand AP-1.IP3is released from the membrane by PLC-γ and diffuses rapidly to activate calcium channel receptors on theER,which induces the release ofcalciuminto the cytosol. Low calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum causes STIM1 clustering on the ER membrane and leads to activation of cell membrane CRAC channels that allows additional calcium to flow into the cytosol from the extracellular space. This aggregated cytosolic calcium binds calmodulin, which can then activatecalcineurin.Calcineurin, in turn, activatesNFAT,which then translocates to the nucleus. NFAT is atranscription factorthat activates the transcription of a pleiotropic set of genes, most notable, IL-2, a cytokine that promotes long-term proliferation of activated T cells.
PLC-γ can also initiate theNF-κB pathway.DAG activates PKC-θ, which then phosphorylates CARMA1, causing it to unfold and function as a scaffold. The cytosolic domains bind an adapterBCL10viaCARD(Caspase activation and recruitment domains) domains; that then binds TRAF6, which is ubiquitinated at K63.: 513–523 [49]This form of ubiquitination does not lead to degradation of target proteins. Rather, it serves to recruit NEMO, IKKα and -β, and TAB1-2/ TAK1.[50]TAK 1 phosphorylates IKK-β, which then phosphorylates IκB allowing for K48 ubiquitination: leads to proteasomal degradation. Rel A and p50 can then enter the nucleus and bind the NF-κB response element. This coupled with NFAT signaling allows for complete activation of the IL-2 gene.[49]
While in most cases activation is dependent on TCR recognition of antigen, alternative pathways for activation have been described. For example, cytotoxic T cells have been shown to become activated when targeted by other CD8 T cells leading to tolerization of the latter.[51]
In spring 2014, theT-Cell Activation in Space(TCAS) experiment was launched to theInternational Space Stationon theSpaceX CRS-3mission to study how "deficiencies in the human immune system are affected by a microgravity environment".[52]
T cell activation is modulated byreactive oxygen species.[53]
Antigen discrimination
editA unique feature of T cells is their ability to discriminate between healthy and abnormal (e.g. infected or cancerous) cells in the body.[54]Healthy cells typically express a large number of self derivedpMHCon their cell surface and although the T cell antigen receptor can interact with at least a subset of these self pMHC, the T cell generally ignores these healthy cells. However, when these very same cells contain even minute quantities of pathogen derived pMHC, T cells are able to become activated and initiate immune responses. The ability of T cells to ignore healthy cells but respond when these same cells contain pathogen (or cancer) derived pMHC is known as antigen discrimination. The molecular mechanisms that underlie this process are controversial.[54][55]
Clinical significance
editDeficiency
editCauses ofT cell deficiencyincludelymphocytopeniaof T cells and/or defects on function of individual T cells. Complete insufficiency of T cell function can result fromhereditary conditionssuch assevere combined immunodeficiency(SCID),Omenn syndrome,andcartilage–hair hypoplasia.[56]Causes of partial insufficiencies of T cell function includeacquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS), and hereditary conditions such asDiGeorge syndrome(DGS),chromosomal breakage syndromes(CBSs), and B cell and T cell combined disorders such asataxia-telangiectasia(AT) andWiskott–Aldrich syndrome(WAS).[56]
The main pathogens of concern in T cell deficiencies areintracellular pathogens,includingHerpes simplex virus,MycobacteriumandListeria.[57]Also,fungal infectionsare also more common and severe in T cell deficiencies.[57]
Cancer
editCancerof T cells is termedT-cell lymphoma,and accounts for perhaps one in ten cases ofnon-Hodgkin lymphoma.[58]The main forms of T cell lymphoma are:
- Extranodal T cell lymphoma
- Cutaneous T cell lymphomas:Sézary syndromeandMycosis fungoides
- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
- Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma
Exhaustion
editIt has been suggested that this section besplitout into another article titledT cell exhaustion.(Discuss)(May 2023) |
T cell exhaustion is a poorly defined or ambiguous term.[59][60]There are three approaches to its definition.[59]"The first approach primarily defines as exhausted the cells that present the same cellular dysfunction (typically, the absence of an expected effector response). The second approach primarily defines as exhausted the cells that are produced by a given cause (typically, but not necessarily, chronic exposure to an antigen). Finally, the third approach primarily defines as exhausted the cells that present the same molecular markers (typically, programmed cell death protein 1 [PD-1])."[59]
Dysfunctional T cells are characterized by progressive loss of function, changes in transcriptional profiles and sustained expression of inhibitory receptors. At first, cells lose their ability to produceIL-2andTNFα,which is followed by the loss of high proliferative capacity and cytotoxic potential, and eventually leads to their deletion. Exhausted T cells typically indicate higher levels ofCD43,CD69and inhibitory receptors combined with lower expression ofCD62LandCD127.Exhaustion can develop during chronic infections, sepsis and cancer.[61]Exhausted T cells preserve their functional exhaustion even after repeated antigen exposure.[62]
During chronic infection and sepsis
editT cell exhaustion can be triggered by several factors like persistent antigen exposure and lack of CD4 T cell help.[63]Antigen exposure also has effect on the course of exhaustion because longer exposure time and higher viral load increases the severity of T cell exhaustion. At least 2–4 weeks exposure is needed to establish exhaustion.[64]Another factor able to induce exhaustion are inhibitory receptors includingprogrammed cell death protein 1(PD1),CTLA-4,T cell membrane protein-3 (TIM3), andlymphocyte activation gene 3 protein(LAG3).[65][66]Soluble molecules such as cytokinesIL-10orTGF-βare also able to trigger exhaustion.[67][68]Last known factors that can play a role in T cell exhaustion are regulatory cells.Tregcells can be a source of IL-10 and TGF-β and therefore they can play a role in T cell exhaustion.[69]Furthermore, T cell exhaustion is reverted after depletion of Treg cells and blockade of PD1.[70]T cell exhaustion can also occur during sepsis as a result of cytokine storm. Later after the initial septic encounter anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-apoptotic proteins take over to protect the body from damage. Sepsis also carries high antigen load and inflammation. In this stage of sepsis T cell exhaustion increases.[71][72]Currently there are studies aiming to utilize inhibitory receptor blockades in treatment of sepsis.[73][74][75]
During transplantation
editWhile during infection T cell exhaustion can develop following persistent antigen exposure after graft transplant similar situation arises with alloantigen presence.[76]It was shown that T cell response diminishes over time after kidney transplant.[77]These data suggest T cell exhaustion plays an important role in tolerance of a graft mainly by depletion of alloreactive CD8 T cells.[72][78]Several studies showed positive effect of chronic infection on graft acceptance and its long-term survival mediated partly by T cell exhaustion.[79][80][81]It was also shown that recipient T cell exhaustion provides sufficient conditions forNK celltransfer.[82]While there are data showing that induction of T cell exhaustion can be beneficial for transplantation it also carries disadvantages among which can be counted increased number of infections and the risk of tumor development.[83]
During cancer
editDuring cancer T cell exhaustion plays a role in tumor protection. According to research some cancer-associated cells as well as tumor cells themselves can actively induce T cell exhaustion at the site of tumor.[84][85][86]T cell exhaustion can also play a role in cancer relapses as was shown on leukemia.[87]Some studies have suggested that it is possible to predict relapse of leukemia based on expression of inhibitory receptors PD-1 and TIM-3 by T cells.[88]Many experiments and clinical trials have focused on immune checkpoint blockers in cancer therapy, with some of these approved as valid therapies that are now in clinical use.[89]Inhibitory receptors targeted by those medical procedures are vital in T cell exhaustion and blocking them can reverse these changes.[90]
