简介 Pore-forming protein that plays a key role in granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells (PubMed:9058810, PubMed:9164947, PubMed:20889983, PubMed:21037563). Plays an important role in killing other cells that are recognized as non-self by the immune system, e.g. in transplant rejection or some forms of autoimmune disease (PubMed:9058810). Can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores. Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by facilitating the uptake of cytotoxic granzymes (PubMed:20889983, PubMed:21037563). Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by facilitating the uptake of cytotoxic granzymes (PubMed:20038786, PubMed:20225066, PubMed:32299851). Perforin pores allow the release of mature caspase-7 (CASP7) into the extracellular milieu (By similarity). |

OBJECTIVES:
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease affecting mainly the axial skeleton. Peripheral involvement (arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis) and extra-musculoskeletal manifestations, including uveitis, psoriasis and bowel inflammation, occur in a relevant proportion of patients. AS is responsible for chronic and severe back pain caused by local inflammation that can lead to osteoproliferation and ultimately spinal fusion. The association of AS with the human leucocyte antigen-B27 gene, together with elevated levels of chemokines, CCL17 and CCL22, in the sera of patients with AS, led us to study the role of CCR4+ T cells in the disease pathogenesis.
METHODS:
CD8+CCR4+ T cells isolated from the blood of patients with AS (n=76) or healthy donors were analysed by multiparameter flow cytometry, and gene expression was evaluated by RNA sequencing. Patients with AS were stratified according to the therapeutic regimen and current disease score.
RESULTS:
CD8+CCR4+ T cells display a distinct effector phenotype and upregulate the inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR5, CX3CR1 and L-selectin CD62L, indicating an altered migration ability. CD8+CCR4+ T cells expressing CX3CR1 present an enhanced cytotoxic profile, expressing both perforin and granzyme B. RNA-sequencing pathway analysis revealed that CD8+CCR4+ T cells from patients with active disease significantly upregulate genes promoting osteogenesis, a core process in AS pathogenesis.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results shed light on a new molecular mechanism by which T cells may selectively migrate to inflammatory loci, promote new bone formation and contribute to the pathological ossification process observed in AS.

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in people with HIV (PWH) is associated with depletion of Mtb-specific CD4 T cell responses, increased risk of progression to active tuberculosis (TB) disease and increased immune activation. While higher HIV viral loads have been reported in Mtb/HIV co-infection, the extent to which Mtb infection and TB disease impact the frequency and phenotype of HIV-specific T cell responses has not been well described. We enrolled a cohort of PWH in Kenya across a spectrum of Mtb infection states, including those with no evidence of Mtb infection, latent Mtb infection (LTBI) and active pulmonary TB disease, and evaluated the frequency, immune activation, and cytotoxicity phenotype of HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in peripheral blood by flow cytometry. We found evidence of depletion of HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells in people with TB, but not LTBI. Expression of the immune activation markers HLA-DR and Ki67 and of the cytotoxic molecules granzyme B and perforin were increased in total CD4 and CD8 T cell populations in individuals with TB, although expression of these markers by HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells did not differ by Mtb infection status. These data suggest that TB is associated with overall increased T cell activation and cytotoxicity and with depletion of HIV-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells, which may contribute to further impairment of T cell-mediated immune control of HIV replication in the setting of TB.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:
2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (TSG) as the primary constituent of Polygonum multiflorum Thumb. (PM) possesses anti-oxidative, antihypercholesterolemic, anti-tumor and many more biological activities. The root of PM has been used as a tonic medicine for thousands of years. However, cases of PM-induced liver injury are occasionally reported, and considered to be related to the host immune status.
AIM OF THE STUDY:
The primary toxic elements and specific mechanisms PM causing liver damage are still not thoroughly clear. Our study aimed to investigate the influences of TSG on the immune response in idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity of PM.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The male C57BL/6 mice were treated with different doses of TSG and the alterations in liver histology, serum liver enzyme levels, proportions of T cells and cytokines secretion were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (HE), RNA sequencing, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Flow cytometry (FCM), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Then, primary spleen cells from drug-naive mice were isolated and cultured with TSG in vitro. T cell subsets proliferation and cytokines secretion after treated with TSG were assessed by CCK8, FCM and ELISA. In addition, mice were pre-treated with anti-CD25 for depleting regulatory T cells (Tregs), and then administered with TSG. Liver functions and immunological alterations were analyzed to evaluate liver injury.
RESULTS:
Data showed that TSG induced liver damage, and immune cells infiltration in the liver tissues. FCM results showed that TSG could activate CD4+T and CD8+T in the liver. Results further confirmed that TSG notably up-regulated the levels of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-18, perforin and granzyme B in the liver tissues. Furthermore, based on transcriptomics profiles, some immune system-related pathways including leukocyte activation involved in inflammatory response, leukocyte cell-cell adhesion, regulation of interleukin-1 beta production, mononuclear cell migration, antigen processing and presentation were altered in TSG treated mice. CD8+T/CD4+T cells were also stimulated by TSG in vitro. Interestingly, increased proportion of Tregs was observed after TSG treatment in vitro and in vivo. Foxp3 and TGF-β1 mRNA expressions were up-regulated in the liver tissues. Depletion of Tregs moderately enhanced TSG induced the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in serum.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our findings showed that TSG could trigger CD4+T and CD8+T cells proliferation, promote cytokines secretion, which revealed that adaptive immune response associated with the mild liver injury cause by TSG administration. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) mainly sustain immunological tolerance, and in this study, the progression of TSG induced liver injury was limited by Tregs. The results of our investigations allow us to preliminarily understand the mechanisms of PM related idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity.
