Intestinal helminth infection induces highly functional resident memory CD4+ T cells in mice

Abstract: Immunity to intestinal nematodes requires CD4⁺ Th2‐cell responses, including IL‐4 and IL‐13 production. Chronic infection with intestinal nematodes leads to downregulation of these responses, and few functional T helper (Th) 2 cells are detected in secondary lymphoid organs in the chronic phase or after abrogation of infection. Here, we show with a natural murine infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus that highly functional memory Th2 cells persist in the lamina propria and in addition in the peritoneal cavi… Show more

“…23 Furthermore, Hp itself has recently been shown to induce local memory CD4 + T cells that can be re-stimulated by IL-33 in a TCR-independent manner to release IL-5 and IL-13. 48 Building on these results, we show that IL-33 can stimulate IL-5 release from Hp-induced CD4 + T cells in the lung, which leads to the subsequent activation of eosinophils that can contribute to killing of migrating Nb larvae.…”

“…Hence Th2/1 cells may be important to ensure that the helminth-infected host is able to quickly and adequately react to co-infections where an unabated IFN-γ response is crucial. Furthermore, IFN-γ production by Th2/1 cells generated during helminth infection often including tissue migratory larval stages may be advantageous in preventing bacterial dissemination facilitated by tissue damage (Pesce et al, 2008), especially upon parasite re-exposure of organs densely seeded with Th2 memory cells (Steinfelder et al, 2017). We currently assess if Th2/1 cells constitute a considerable source of IFN-γ and of other factors affecting the immune response to the parasite and, possibly, coinfecting pathogens.…”

“…Th1 TRMs generated in this model accumulate in the lamina propria and epithelium, and are maintained in an IL-15 independent manner. Th2 TRM cells can also be identified in the lamina propria and peritoneal cavity after infection with Heligmosomoides polygyrus ( 75 ). Re-challenge infection results in TCR dependent production of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, although TRM cells in the peritoneal cavity are additionally able to produce cytokines in response to IL-33 and IL-7 signals alone.…”
