Distinct Role

Trafficking of immune cells is controlled by directed migration of relevant cells toward chemotactic signals. Actin cytoskeleton undergoes continuous remodeling and serves as machinery for cell migration. The mDia family of formins and the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)–Arp2/3 system are two major actin nucleating–polymerizing systems in mammalian cells, with the former producing long straight actin filaments and the latter producing branched actin meshwork. Although much is known about the latter, the physiological functions of mDia proteins are unclear. We generated mice deficient in one mDia isoform, mDia1. Although mDia1−/− mice were born and developed without apparent abnormality, mDia1−/− T lymphocytes exhibited impaired trafficking to secondary lymphoid organs in vivo and showed reduced chemotaxis, little actin filament formation, and impaired polarity in response to chemotactic stimuli in vitro. Similarly, mDia1−/− thymocytes showed reduced chemotaxis and impaired egression from the thymus. These results suggest that mDia1 plays a distinct role in chemotaxis in T lymphocyte trafficking.

ABSTRACT To define the possible impact of T-lymphocyte trafficking parameters on simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) pathogenesis, we examined migratory profiles of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled T lymphocytes in acutely SIVmac251-infected and uninfected macaques within 48 h after autologous transfer. Despite significant upregulation of homeostatic chemokine CCL19/macrophage inflammatory protein 3β and proinflammatory chemokine CXCL9/monokine induced by gamma interferon in secondary lymphoid tissue in SIV infection, no differences in CFSE+ T-lymphocyte frequencies or cell compartmentalization in lymph nodes were identified between animal groups. By contrast, a higher frequency of CFSE+ T lymphocytes in the small intestine was detected in acute SIV infection. This result correlated with increased numbers of gut CD4 T lymphocytes expressing chemokine receptors CCR9, CCR7, and CXCR3 and high levels of their respective chemokine ligands in the small intestine. The changes in trafficking parameters in SIV-infected macaques occurred concomitantly with acute gut CD4 T-lymphocyte depletion. Here, we present the first in vivo T-lymphocyte trafficking study in SIV infection and a novel approach to delineate T-lymphocyte recruitment into tissues in the nonhuman primate animal model for AIDS. Such studies are likely to provide unique insights into T-lymphocyte sequestration in distinct tissue compartments and possible mechanisms of CD4 T-lymphocyte depletion and immune dysfunction in simian AIDS.

Abstract Introduction Lymphopaenia is common after major surgery and associated with poor outcome. T-lymphocytes restrain damaging innate inflammation. Major surgery impairs T-lymphocyte metabolism in humans, which promotes lymphopaenia. Metformin is known to improve mitochondrial bioenergetics in models of inflammation. Firstly, we hypothesised that a mouse model of major surgery would demonstrate impaired T-lymphocyte metabolism and secondly, that metformin treatment in vivo would reverse the phenotype. Method Male C57Bl/6 mice aged between 8 and 12 weeks were housed in a specific pathogen free environment with free access to food and water. Animals were dosed with either vehicle (phosphate buffered saline, 20 ml/kg) or metformin (250 mg/kg) daily via intraperitoneal injection for four days prior to and after surgery. A partial hepatectomy was performed under isofluorane anaesthesia. Naive littermates were used as controls. All experiments were performed according to the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. Splenic T-lymphocytes were isolated by negative selection using magnetic beads. Mitochondrial bioenergetics were measured using a Seahorse Extracellular Flux analyser. Parametric statistical analysis was performed and a p-value < 0.05 was chosen to represent significance. Result T-lymphocytes demonstrated reduced spare respiratory capacity (SRC, 285 vs 497 %, p=0.004) after surgery compared to naive controls. Metformin treatment in vivo reversed this observation and SRC was comparable to naive (437 vs 497 %, p=0.34). Metformin treatment in vitro increased spare respiratory capacity in T-lymphocytes from mice after surgery compared to naive (change from untreated, 187 vs 91 %, p=0.03). Conclusion Perioperative metformin treatment improved T-lymphocyte metabolism in a mouse model of major surgery. Take-home message Metformin is a potential treatment for the lymphocyte metabolic dysfunction observed after surgery.

Lymphocyte Responses

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory infection in children and in the elderly. The RSV fusion (F) glycoprotein has long been recognized as a vaccine candidate as it elicits cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) and antibody responses. Two murine H-2Kd-restricted CTL epitopes (F85–93 and F92–106) are known in the F protein of the A2 strain of RSV. F-specific CTL lines using BCH4 fibroblasts that are persistently infected with the Long strain of human RSV as stimulators were generated, and it was found that in this strain only the F85–93 epitope is conserved. Motif based epitope prediction programs and an F2 chain deleted F protein encoded in a recombinant vaccinia virus enabled identification of a new epitope in the Long strain, F249–258, which is presented by Kd as a 9-mer (TYMLTNSEL) or a 10-mer (TYMLTNSELL) peptide. The results suggest that the 10-mer might be a naturally processed endogenous Kd ligand. The CD8+ T-lymphocyte responses to epitopes F85–93 and F249–258 present in the F protein of RSV Long were found to be strongly skewed to F85–93 in in vitro multispecific CTL lines and in vivo during a secondary response to a recombinant vaccinia virus that expresses the entire F protein. However, no hierarchy in CD8+ T-lymphocyte responses to F85–93 and F249–258 epitopes was observed in vivo during a primary response.
