Tc17, a Unique Subset of CD8 T Cells That Can Protect against Lethal Influenza Challenge

Abstract: We show here that IL-17-secreting CD4 T (Th)17 and CD8 T (Tc)17 effector cells are found in the lung following primary challenge with influenza A and that blocking Ab to IL-17 increases weight loss and reduces survival. Tc17 effectors can be generated in vitro using naive CD8 T cells from OT-I TCR-transgenic mice. T cell numbers expand 20-fold and a majority secretes IL-17, but little IFN-γ. Many of the IL-17-secreting cells also secrete TNF and some secrete IL-2. Tc17 are negative for granzyme B, perforin mes… Show more

“…The role of IL-17 as a protective cytokine against lethal influenza challenge and its role in mediating the immunopathology of influenza infection have been reported [28,29]. Hamada et al [28] claimed that IL-17-secreting CD4 T (Th)-17 and CD8 T (Tc)-17 effector cells were present in the lung following primary challenge with influenza A, and reported that a blocking-antibody treatment against IL-17 increased weight loss and reduced survival rate. In reality, the anti-IL-17 antibody studies were only performed in a heterotypic challenge model.…”

“…In reality, the anti-IL-17 antibody studies were only performed in a heterotypic challenge model. The authors did not study anti-IL-17 in primary influenza infection, in which nearly all of the IL-17 comes from gamma delta T cells [28]. Crowe et al [29] treated IL-17RA-deficient mice with influenza A, and found that weight loss and survival rates were improved in IL-17RA-deficient mice.…”

“…40 Later research has indicated that the response is more nuanced, with some contradictory evidence regarding advantages and disadvantages of IL-17A induction. 41,42,43 Predominance of one set of cytokines over the other is generally indicative of polarization of Th responses, for example the presence of IL-4 and absence of IFN-g indicate a classical Th-2 polarized immune reaction 44 although these cytokines can also be released at the same time. 45,46,47 The varying cytokine profiles related to CTL and antibody production are fundamental in affording protection against a specific pathogen.…”

“…In addition to the cell populations that produce IL-17 in normal conditions and described above, several recent studies have identified the existence of CD8 + T cells expressing IL-17 (Tc17 cells) [14][15][16][17]. Interestingly, Tc17 cells were recently shown to be upregulated in a number of pathological conditions, such as cancer [18][19][20] and acquired immunodeficiency [21,22], suggesting the existence of a dynamic regulatory balance between CD4 + and CD8 + T cells for the production of IL-17.…”
