Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are known for their rapid effector functions and antibacterial immune protection. Here, we define the plasticity of interferon-γ (IFN-γ)–producing MAIT1 and interleukin-17A (IL-17A)–producing MAIT17 cell subsets in vivo. Whereas T-bet + MAIT1 cells remained stable in all experimental settings, after adoptive transfer or acute Legionella or Francisella infection, RORγt + MAIT17 cells could undergo phenotypic and functional conversion into both RORγt + T-bet + MAIT1/17 and RORγt T-bet + MAIT1 cells. This plasticity ensured that MAIT17 cells played a dominant role in generating antibacterial MAIT1 responses in mucosal tissues. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed that MAIT17-derived MAIT1 cells were distinct from canonical MAIT1 cells yet could migrate out of mucosal tissues to contribute to the global MAIT1 pool in subsequent systemic infections. Human IL-17A–secreting MAIT cells also showed similar functional plasticity. Our findings have broad implications for understanding the role of MAIT cells in combatting infections and their potential utility in MAIT cell–targeted vaccines.

MAIT 细胞可塑性使功能适应成为可能,从而驱动抗菌免疫保护



粘膜相关不变 T (MAIT) 细胞以其快速效应功能和抗菌免疫保护而闻名。在这里,我们定义了体内产生干扰素-γ (IFN-γ) 的 MAIT1 和产生白细胞介素-17A (IL-17A) 的 MAIT17 细胞亚群的可塑性。虽然 T-bet + MAIT1 细胞在所有实验环境中都保持稳定,但在过继转移或急性军团菌或弗朗西斯菌感染后,RORγt + MAIT17 细胞可以经历表型和功能转化为 RORγt + T-bet + MAIT1/17 和 RORγt − T-bet + MAIT1 细胞。这种可塑性确保 MAIT17 细胞在粘膜组织中产生抗菌 MAIT1 反应中起主导作用。单细胞转录组学显示,MAIT17 来源的 MAIT1 细胞与经典 MAIT1 细胞不同,但可以从粘膜组织迁移出来,在随后的全身感染中为整体 MAIT1 库做出贡献。分泌 IL-17A 的人 MAIT 细胞也表现出类似的功能可塑性。我们的研究结果对于理解 MAIT 细胞在对抗感染中的作用及其在 MAIT 细胞靶向疫苗中的潜在用途具有广泛的意义。
