Helper T cell immunity in humans with inherited CD4 deficiency
This study describes clinical features and cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying immune deficiency in seven patients with biallelic germline variants in CD4. The data reveal important roles for CD4 in host defense against a range of pathogens,particularly human papilloma virus. CD4+ T cells are vital for host defense and immune regulation. However,the fundamental role of CD4 itself remains enigmatic. We report seven patients aged 5–61 years from five families of four ancestries with autosomal recessive CD4 deficiency and a range of infections,including recalcitrant warts and Whipple’s disease. All patients are homozygous for rare deleterious CD4 variants impacting expression of the canonical CD4 isoform. A shorter expressed isoform that interacts with LCK,but not HLA class II,is affected by only one variant. All patients lack CD4+ T cells and have increased numbers of TCRαβ+CD4−CD8− T cells,which phenotypically and transcriptionally resemble conventional Th cells. Finally,patient CD4−CD8− αβ T cells exhibit intact responses to HLA class II–restricted antigens and promote B cell differentiation in vitro. Thus,compensatory development of Th cells enables patients with inherited CD4 deficiency to acquire effective cellular and humoral immunity against an unexpectedly large range of pathogens. Nevertheless,CD4 is indispensable for protective immunity against at least human papillomaviruses and Trophyrema whipplei.

The function of Wtap in N6-adenosine methylation of mRNAs controls T cell receptor signaling and survival of T cells.
T cell antigen-receptor (TCR) signaling controls the development,activation and survival of T cells by involving several layers and numerous mechanisms of gene regulation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent messenger RNA modification affecting splicing,translation and stability of transcripts. In the present study,we describe the Wtap protein as essential for m6A methyltransferase complex function and reveal its crucial role in TCR signaling in mouse T cells. Wtap and m6A methyltransferase functions were required for the differentiation of thymocytes,control of activation-induced death of peripheral T cells and prevention of colitis by enabling gut ROR?t+ regulatory T cell function. Transcriptome and epitranscriptomic analyses reveal that m6A modification destabilizes Orai1 and Ripk1 mRNAs. Lack of post-transcriptional repression of the encoded proteins correlated with increased store-operated calcium entry activity and diminished survival of T cells with conditional genetic inactivation of Wtap. These findings uncover how m6A modification impacts on TCR signal transduction and determines activation and survival of T cells.

Involvement of IL-32 in activation-induced cell death in T cells.
NK cell transcript 4 (NK4),now denoted as IL-32,was originally identified as a transcript whose expression was increased in activated NK cells. It has been very recently demonstrated that NK4 is secreted from several cells upon the stimulation of some inflammatory cytokines such as IL-18,IL-1beta,IFN-gamma and IL-12. Furthermore,NK4 induces production of tumor necrosis factor,macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and IL-8 in monocytic cell lines,indicating that this factor would be involved in the inflammatory responses. Based on these findings,NK4 was renamed IL-32. However,the biological activities of IL-32 on other cell types remained undetermined. Furthermore,it was still argued whether IL-32 acts on cells from outside or inside the cells. In this article,we first report that expression of IL-32 was up-regulated in activated T cells and NK cells,and that IL-32beta was the predominantly expressed isoform in activated T cells. IL-32 was specifically expressed in T cells undergoing apoptosis and enforced expression of IL-32-induced apoptosis,whereas its down-regulation rescued the cells from apoptosis in HeLa cells. IL-32 existing in the supernatant would be derived from the cytoplasm of apoptotic cells. These results strongly indicated that IL-32 would be involved in activation-induced cell death in T cells,probably via its intracellular actions. Our present findings expand our understanding of the biological function of IL-32 and argue that IL-32 may act on cells,not only from the outside but also from the inside.

Postthymic maturation influences the CD8 T cell response to antigen.
Complete T cell development requires postthymic maturation,and we investigated the influence of this ontological period on the CD8 T cell response to infection by comparing responses of mature CD8 T cells with those of recent thymic emigrants (RTEs). When activated with a noninflammatory stimulus or a bacterial or viral pathogen,CD8 RTEs generated a lower proportion of cytokine-producing effector cells and long-lived memory precursors compared with their mature counterparts. Although peripheral T cell maturation is complete within several weeks after thymic egress,RTE-derived memory cells continued to express inappropriate levels of memory cell markers and display an altered pattern of cytokine production,even 8 weeks after infection. When rechallenged,RTE-derived memory cells generated secondary effector cells that were phenotypically and functionally equivalent to those generated by their mature counterparts. The defects at the effector and memory stages were not associated with differences in the expression of T cell receptor-,costimulation-,or activation-associated cell surface markers yet were associated with lower Ly6C expression levels at the effector stage. This work demonstrates that the stage of postthymic maturation influences cell fate decisions and cytokine profiles of stimulated CD8 T cells,with repercussions that are apparent long after cells have progressed from the RTE compartment.

A Bcl6 Intronic Element Regulates T Follicular Helper Cell Differentiation.
In response to an intracellular infectious agent,the immune system produces a specific cellular response as well as a T cell-dependent Ab response. Precursor T cells differentiate into effector T cells,including Th1 cells,and T follicular helper (TFH) cells. The latter cooperate with B cells to form germinal centers and induce the formation of Ab-forming plasmacytes. One major focal point for control of T cell differentiation is the transcription factor BCL6. In this study,we demonstrated that the Bcl6 gene is regulated by FOXO1-binding,cis-acting sequences located in a highly conserved region of the first Bcl6 intron. In both mouse and human T cells,deletion of the tandem FOXO1 binding sites increased the expression of BCL6 and enhanced the proportion of TFH cells. These results reveal a fundamental control point for cellular versus humoral immunity.

TRAILshort Protects against CD4 T Cell Death during Acute HIV Infection.
CD4 T cells from HIV-1 infected patients die at excessive rates compared to those from uninfected patients,causing immunodeficiency. We previously identified a dominant negative ligand that antagonizes the TRAIL-dependent pathway of cell death,which we called TRAILshort. Because the TRAIL pathway has been implicated in CD4 T cell death occurring during HIV-1 infection,we used short hairpin RNA knockdown,CRISPR deletion,or Abs specific for TRAILshort to determine the effect of inhibiting TRAILshort on the outcome of experimental acute HIV infection in vitro. Strikingly,all three approaches to TRAILshort deletion/inhibition enhanced HIV-induced death of both infected and uninfected human CD4 T cells. Thus,TRAILshort impacts T cell dynamics during HIV infection,and inhibiting TRAILshort causes more HIV-infected and uninfected bystander cells to die. TRAILshort is,therefore,a host-derived,host-adaptive mechanism to limit the effects of TRAIL-induced cell death. Further studies on the effects of TRAILshort in other disease states are warranted.

PSGL-1 Is an Immune Checkpoint Regulator that Promotes T Cell Exhaustion.
Chronic viruses and cancers thwart immune responses in humans by inducing T cell dysfunction. Using a murine chronic virus that models human infections,we investigated the function of the adhesion molecule,P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1),that is upregulated on responding T cells. PSGL-1-deficient mice cleared the virus due to increased intrinsic survival of multifunctional effector T cells that had downregulated PD-1 as well as other inhibitory receptors. Notably,this response resulted in CD4(+)-T-cell-dependent immunopathology. Mechanistically,PSGL-1 ligation on exhausted CD8(+) T cells inhibited T cell receptor (TCR) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling and upregulated PD-1,leading to diminished survival with TCR stimulation. In models of melanoma cancer in which T cell dysfunction occurs,PSGL-1 deficiency led to PD-1 downregulation,improved T cell responses,and tumor control. Thus,PSGL-1 plays a fundamental role in balancing viral control and immunopathology and also functions to regulate T cell responses in the tumor microenvironment.

Loss of HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cell proliferation after acute HIV-1 infection and restoration by vaccine-induced HIV-1-specific CD4+ T cells.
Virus-specific CD8(+) T cells are associated with declining viremia in acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)1 infection,but do not correlate with control of viremia in chronic infection,suggesting a progressive functional defect not measured by interferon gamma assays presently used. Here,we demonstrate that HIV-1-specific CD8(+) T cells proliferate rapidly upon encounter with cognate antigen in acute infection,but lose this capacity with ongoing viral replication. This functional defect can be induced in vitro by depletion of CD4(+) T cells or addition of interleukin 2-neutralizing antibodies,and can be corrected in chronic infection in vitro by addition of autologous CD4(+) T cells isolated during acute infection and in vivo by vaccine-mediated induction of HIV-1-specific CD4(+) T helper cell responses. These data demonstrate a loss of HIV-1-specific CD8(+) T cell function that not only correlates with progressive infection,but also can be restored in chronic infection by augmentation of HIV-1-specific T helper cell function. This identification of a reversible defect in cell-mediated immunity in chronic HIV-1 infection has important implications for immunotherapeutic interventions.

S-adenosylmethionine metabolism shapes CD8+ T cell functions in colorectal cancer
Metabolite nutrients within the tumor microenvironment shape both tumor progression and immune cell functionality. It remains elusive how the metabolic interaction between T cells and tumor cells results in different anti-cancer immunotherapeutic responses. Here,we use untargeted metabolomics to investigate the metabolic heterogeneity in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Our analysis reveals enhanced S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) metabolism in microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC,a subtype known for its resistance to immunotherapy. Functional studies reveal that SAM and SAH enhance the initial activation and effector functions of CD8+ T cells. Instead,cancer cells outcompete CD8+ T cells for SAM and SAH availability to impair T cell survival. In vivo,SAM supplementation promotes T cell proliferation and reduces exhaustion of the tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells,thus suppressing tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. This study uncovers the metabolic crosstalk between T cells and tumor cells,which drives the development of tumors resistant to immunotherapy.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s40170-025-00394-2.

Identification of a CD4+ T cell line with Treg-like activity.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress adaptive immunity and inflammation. Although they play a role in suppressing anti-tumor responses,development of therapeutics that target Tregs is limited by their low abundance,heterogeneity,and lack of specific cell surface markers. We isolated human PBMC-derived CD4+ CD25high Foxp3+ Tregs and demonstrate they suppress stimulated CD4+ PBMCs in a cell contact-dependent manner. Because it is not possible to functionally characterize cells after intracellular Foxp3 staining,we identified a human T cell line,MoT,as a model of human Foxp3+ Tregs. Unlike Jurkat T cells,MoT cells share common surface markers consistent with human PBMC-derived Tregs such as: CD4,CD25,GITR,LAG-3,PD-L1,CCR4. PBMC-derived Tregs and MoT cells,but not Jurkat cells,inhibited proliferation of human CD4+PBMCs in a ratio-dependent manner. Transwell membrane separation prevented suppression of stimulated CD4+PBMC proliferation by MoT cells and Tregs,suggesting cell-cell contact is required for suppressive activity. Blocking antibodies against PD-L1,LAG-3,GITR,CCR4,HLA-DR,or CTLA-4 did not reverse the suppressive activity.We show that human PBMC-derived Tregs and MoT cells suppress stimulated CD4+PBMCs in a cell contact-dependent manner,suggesting that a Foxp3+Treg population suppresses immune responses by an uncharacterized cell contact-dependent mechanism.
