CD8 tissue-resident memory T cells (T) persist at sites of previous infection, where they provide rapid local protection against pathogen challenge. CD8 T expressing the α1 chain (CD49a) of integrin VLA-1 have been identified within sites of resolved skin infection and in vitiligo lesions. We demonstrate that CD49a is expressed early following T cell activation in vivo, and TGF-β and IL-12 induce CD49a expression by CD8 T cells in vitro. Despite this rapid expression, CD49a is not required for the generation of a primary CD8 T cell response to cutaneous herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, migration of CD8 T cells across the epidermal basement membrane, or positioning of T within basal epidermis. Rather, CD49a supports CD8 T persistence within skin, regulates epidermal CD8 T dendritic extensions, and increases the frequency of IFN-γ CD8 T following local antigen challenge. Our results suggest that CD49a promotes optimal cutaneous CD8 T-mediated immunity.
CD8 组织驻留记忆 T 细胞(T)在先前感染的部位持续存在,在那里它们提供对病原体攻击的快速局部保护。在已解决的皮肤感染部位和白癜风病变中,发现表达整合素 VLA-1 的α1 链(CD49a)的 CD8 T。我们证明 CD49a 在体内 T 细胞活化后早期表达,并且 TGF-β 和 IL-12 在体外诱导 CD8 T 细胞表达 CD49a。尽管这种快速表达,但 CD49a 对于产生对皮肤单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)感染的原发性 CD8 T 细胞反应、CD8 T 细胞穿过表皮基底膜的迁移或 T 在基底表皮内的定位并不是必需的。相反,CD49a 支持 CD8 T 在皮肤内的持续存在,调节表皮 CD8 T 树突状延伸,并增加局部抗原挑战后 IFN-γ CD8 T 的频率。我们的结果表明,CD49a 促进了最佳的皮肤 CD8 T 介导的免疫。
