CXCR5 mediates homing of both B and follicular helper T (TFH) cells into follicles of secondary lymphoid organs. We found that CXCR5+CD8+ T cells are present in human tonsils and follicular lymphoma, inhibit TFH-mediated B cell differentiation, and exhibit strong cytotoxic activity. Consistent with these findings, adoptive transfer of CXCR5+CD8+ T cells into an animal model of lymphoma resulted in significantly greater antitumor activity than CXCR5-CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, RNA-Seq-based transcriptional profiling revealed 77 differentially expressed genes unique to CXCR5+CD8+ T cells. Among these, a signature comprised of 33 upregulated genes correlated with improved survival in follicular lymphoma patients. We also showed that CXCR5+CD8+ T cells could be induced and expanded ex vivo using IL-23 plus TGF-β, suggesting a possible strategy to generate these cells for clinical application. In summary, our study identified CXCR5+CD8+ T cells as a distinct T cell subset with ability to suppress TFH-mediated B cell differentiation, exert strong antitumor activity, and confer favorable prognosis in follicular lymphoma patients.

CXCR5+CD8+ T 细胞是具有抗肿瘤活性的独特功能子集。

CXCR5 介导 B 细胞和滤泡辅助 T (TFH) 细胞归巢到次级淋巴器官的滤泡中。我们发现CXCR5+CD8+T细胞存在于人扁桃体和滤泡性淋巴瘤中,抑制TFH介导的B细胞分化,并表现出很强的细胞毒活性。与这些发现一致,将 CXCR5+CD8+T 细胞过继转移至淋巴瘤动物模型中,其抗肿瘤活性显着高于 CXCR5-CD8+T 细胞。此外,基于 RNA-Seq 的转录分析揭示了 CXCR5+CD8+ T 细胞特有的 77 个差异表达基因。其中,由 33 个上调基因组成的特征与滤泡性淋巴瘤患者生存率的提高相关。我们还表明,使用 IL-23 和 TGF-β 可以在体外诱导和扩增 CXCR5+CD8+ T 细胞,这表明产生这些细胞用于临床应用的可能策略。总之,我们的研究发现 CXCR5+CD8+ T 细胞是一种独特的 T 细胞亚群,能够抑制 TFH 介导的 B 细胞分化,发挥强大的抗肿瘤活性,并为滤泡性淋巴瘤患者带来良好的预后。
