Reduced Accumulation of Chemokine-Specific CD4 + T Cells in the Lungs of BeO- Exposed HLA-DP2 Transgenic Mice Deficient in CCL3/4 or Treated with Novel HLA- DP2/CCL-CAR-T Cells

Listed in NCBI GEO

Chemokines play an important role in the recruitment and activation of immune cells and in forming inflammatory cellular aggregates.

Description

However, how these chemokines and chemokines- specific CD4 + T cells contribute to the pathogenesis of CBD is not well defined. RNA sequencing of CD4 + T cells showed functional heterogeneity among chemokine specific- tissue-resident CCL4 tetramer-positive CD4 + T cells (CD44 + Tet + ).

CD44 + Tet + cells display increased IFNγ and IL17 gene expression compared to the CD44 - Tet - (naïve) CD4 + T cells. Over-representation analysis of genes showed pathways involved in inflammation and cholesterol metabolism are significantly increased in CD44 + Tet + cells. Next, we showed that innate immune response in Be 2+ exposed HLA-DP2 Tg WT and CCL3-deficient mice (CCL3 - /- ) was not different, while a significant decrease in total, antigen-specific CD4 + T cells and IFNγ-producing CD4 + T cells was observed in CCL3 -/- mice.

We also noticed fewer peribronchovascular aggregates in the lungs of Be 2+ exposed CCL3 -/- mice, suggesting reduced inflammation. In BeO-exposed lungs, enhanced CCL3 expression was observed in macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). Further, using bone marrow chimeric mice, we established the role of hematopoietic and DCs in controlling Be-induced CCL3 and CCL4 responses in the lungs.

Besides the chemokines, we also found that HLA-DP2 Tg mice deficient in TNF-α or treated with HLA-DP-CCL4-CAR-T cells show reduced presence of chemokine-specific CD4 + T cells in the lungs. In conclusion, our findings reveal an important role of DCs and TNF-α in maintaining CCL3/4-specific CD4 + T cell responses in CBD and also provide CAR-T cells as an alternative therapy for regulating CCL3/4-specific CD4 + T cell responses in CBD.
