Direct recognition of LPS drive TLR4 expressing CD8+ T cell activation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract: Aberrant immune responses characterize autoimmune disorders like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) wherein lymphocytes are recognized as key players. Role of CD8+ T cells in RA has been less defined however we found that these cells are activated in RA patients with increased expression of cytolytic granules and inflammatory mediators thereby modulating immune responses contributing to disease severity. Though unconventional expression of different Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) on CD8+ T cells has been proposed but their… Show more

“…In RA patients, CD4+ T-cell activation with subsequent differentiation into Th1 and Th17 has been suggested to be responsible for RA progression [156]. Furthermore, expression of TLR4 on CD8+ T cells was correlated woth RA severity [157]. Interestingly, a seven day fasting regimen resulted in a decrease in CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte levels and an increase in IL-4, which is known to have anti-inflammatory effects [158,159].…”

“…Fraser et al ( 74 ) observed that subtotal fasting where patients were allowed to have limited amount of vitamin and mineral supplementation, carbohydrate, and energy in form of vegetable juice decreased CD4 + lymphocyte activation and numbers. Activation of CD4 + T cell and further differentiation to Th1 and Th17 lineages are shown to be responsible for progression of RA ( 75 ). Thus, decreased T cell activation owing to 7–10 day fasting suggests a transient immunosuppression, thereby suppressing RA ( 74 ).…”
