摘要

Abstract

Background:

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are systemically depleted in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected patients and are not replenished even after successful combined antiretroviral therapy (cART). This study aimed to identify the mechanism underlying MAIT cell depletion.

Methods:

In the present study

we applied flow cytometry

single-cell RNA sequencing and immunohistochemical staining to evaluate the characteristics of pyroptotic MAIT cells in a total of 127 HIV-1 infected individuals

including 69 treatment-naive patients

28 complete responders

15 immunological non-responders

and 15 elite controllers

at the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital

Beijing

China.

Results:

Single-cell transcriptomic profiles revealed that circulating MAIT cells from HIV-1 infected subjects were highly activated

with upregulation of pyroptosis-related genes. Further analysis revealed that increased frequencies of pyroptotic MAIT cells correlated with markers of systemic T-cell activation

microbial translocation

and intestinal damage in cART-naive patients and poor CD4

T-cell recovery in long-term cART patients. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that MAIT cells in the gut mucosa of HIV-1 infected patients exhibited a strong active gasdermin-D (GSDMD

marker of pyroptosis) signal near the cavity side

suggesting that these MAIT cells underwent active pyroptosis in the colorectal mucosa. Increased levels of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 were observed in HIV-1 infected patients. In addition

activated MAIT cells exhibited an increased pyroptotic phenotype after being triggered by HIV-1 virions

T-cell receptor signals

IL-12 plus IL-18

and combinations of these factors

in vitro

Conclusions:

Activation-induced MAIT cell pyroptosis contributes to the loss of MAIT cells in HIV-1 infected patients

which could potentiate disease progression and poor immune reconstitution.
