CD4 T cell autophagy is integral to memory maintenance

Abstract: Studies of mice deficient for autophagy in T cells since thymic development, concluded that autophagy is integral to mature T cell homeostasis. Basal survival and functional impairments in vivo, limited the use of these models to delineate the role of autophagy during the immune response. We generated Atg5f/f distal Lck (dLck)-cre mice, with deletion of autophagy only at a mature stage. In this model, autophagy deficiency impacts CD8+ T cell survival but has no influence on CD4+ T cell number and short-term ac… Show more

“…In such models, as mentioned before, one could argue that the higher ROS production and cell death observed in mature populations could be for part due to defects accumulated during their developmental phases. After deletion occurring only in mature T cells ( 56 ), we confirm CD8 + T cells sensibility to ROS linked to defective mitophagy, which is not shared by CD4 + T cells. Altogether, these data demonstrate a superior need for mitophagy prior to their activation in CD8 + than in CD4 + T cells.…”

“…Several reports demonstrated a higher sensitivity of CD8 + T cells to macroautophagy loss, compared to CD4 T cells ( 39 , 45 , 56 ). Interestingly, CD8 T cells possess a lower mitochondrial load than their CD4 counterpart.…”

“…In inflammatory contexts, such as asthma, CD4 + T cells can play into both T H 17 and T H 2 type mediated inflammation ( 138 ) and have also been shown to utilize autophagy ( 139 ). Like their CD8 + counterparts, CD4 + T cells have also been found to have extensive autophagy involved in a variety of cellular functions, such as metabolism and memory ( 112 ). During activation, autophagy is massively upregulated in CD4 + T cells ( 122 , 140 ).…”

“…While apparently dispensable for B-cell development, it was claimed that macroautophagy plays a major role in plasma cell survival, B-cell receptor trafficking and antigen presentation, and long-term autoantibody secretion [ 10 , 11 ]. Macroautophagy is also centrally involved in the maintenance and survival of memory CD4 and CD8 T cells with foreseeable consequences on the autoimmune response [ 12 ]. The underlying reasons for macroautophagy dysfunctions in lupus are not known but several independent investigations have identified risk loci spanning autophagy-linked genes in lupus patients [ 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”
