الملخص الإنجليزي
CD4+T cells represent key players of adaptive cellular immune responses.
Antigen-primed naive CD4+T cells differentiate into several subsets of effector T cells with a variety of different functions.
These effector cells secrete a variety of cytokines and coordinate different aspects of adaptive immunity.
Documentations have showed that CD4+T cells are also able to develop cytotoxic function during in vitro culture.
Importantly, Eomesodermin (eomes) plays a key role in directing lytic effector differentiation of CD8+T cells and NK cells.
It is critical for invoking the characteristics of the cytolytic effector lineage including IFN-ɣ, perforin, and granzyme B.
We hypothesized that eomes expression that greatly impact CD8+T differentiation into cytotoxic cells is thought to also affect CD4+T cells in a similar manner.
In order to investigate and tackle the hypothesis from both sides, eomes expression was first ectopically induced in CD4+T cells and then knocked down using shRNA in Trp1 CD4+T cytotoxic cells.
In this regard, ectopic expression of T-box transcription factor eomes in CD4+T cell increased GrzB and IFN-ɣ expression.
However, downregulation of eomes in CD4+ cytotoxic T cells using shRNA was associated with the absence of GrzB expression.
These data suggest a pivotal role of eomes in controlling cytolytic activity and in programming CD4+ cytotoxic T cell differentiation.
Thus, the ability of CD4+T cells to develop cytotoxic function would expand their role in tumor immunity beyond their conventionally assumed role as “helpers” that enhance the function of CD8+T cells and other immune cells.
Moreover, adoptive transfert of CD4+ cytotoxic T cells can be explored in combination with other immunotherapies in the treatment of aggressive tumors including melanoma.
