Identification of a human CD8+ regulatory T cell subset that mediates suppression through the chemokine CC chemokine ligand 4.

چکیده
Regulatory T cells (Treg) comprise multiple subsets and are important in controlling immunity and inflammation. However, the induction and mode of action of the various distinct Treg subsets remain ill defined, particularly in humans. Here, we describe a human CD8+ lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3)+CD25+FoxP3+ Treg subset, which suppresses T cells partly through the secretion of CC chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4), which can inhibit T cell activation by interfering with T cell receptor signaling. CD8+ Tregs are expanded by antigen in in vivo-primed donors, and can be detected in pathogen-infected human tissue. This CD8+LAG-3+CD25+FoxP3+CCL4+ Treg subset thus may play a role in immunoregulation in humans, including infectious diseases.

Human memory CCR 4 1 CD 8 1 T cell subset has the ability to produce multiple cytokines
The CC chemokine receptor (CCR)4 is associated with trafficking of specialized cutaneous memory type 2 Th cells in the skin. However, a CD8 1 T cell population expressing CCR4 still remains uncharacterized. In the present study, we investigated the expression and function of CCR4 on human CD8 T cells and characterized CCR4CD8 human T cells. Multi-color flow cytometric analysis revealed that CCR...
متن کاملHuman late memory CD8+ T cells have a distinct cytokine signature characterized by CC chemokine production without IL-2 production.
Late memory T cell skewing is observed in the setting of immune recovery after cord blood transplantation, and may be associated with inferior control of viral reactivation and cancers. Therefore, we sought to understand how late memory cells differ functionally from earlier stage memory T cells, and whether surface phenotypes associated with differentiation stages were predictably associated w...

RATIONALE Proinflammatory adaptive immune responses are recognized as major drivers of atherosclerotic lesion formation. Although CD8(+) T cells have recently been proposed as a proatherogenic cell subset, their full scope of actions remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE We here addressed the contribution of CD8(+) T cells to monocyte trafficking in atherosclerosis. METHOD AND RESULTS We obse...
متن کاملTrafficking machinery of NKT cells: shared and differential chemokine receptor expression among V 24 V 11 NKT cell subsets with distinct cytokine-producing capacity
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are important regulators of the immune system, but their trafficking machinery, including expression of chemokine receptors, has been poorly defined. Unlike other conventional T-cell populations, we show that most NKT cells express receptors for extralymphoid tissue or inflammationrelated chemokines (CCR2, CCR5, and CXCR3), while few NKT cells express lymphoid tissu...
متن کاملCCR1 and CCR5 promote hepatic fibrosis in mice.
Hepatic fibrosis develops as a response to chronic liver injury and almost exclusively occurs in a proinflammatory environment. However, the role of inflammatory mediators in fibrogenic responses of the liver is only poorly understood. We therefore investigated the role of CC chemokines and their receptors in hepatic fibrogenesis. The CC chemokines MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES and their re...
