Abstract:
:Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an innate-like T cell subset in mammals that recognize microbial vitamin B metabolites presented by the evolutionarily conserved major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I)-related molecule, MR1. Emerging data suggest that MAIT cells may be an attractive target for vaccine-induced protection against bacterial infections because of their rapid cytotoxic responses at mucosal services to a widely conserved bacterial ligand. In this study, we tested whether a MAIT cell priming strategy could protect against aerosol Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in mice. Intranasal costimulation with the lipopeptide Toll-like receptor (TLR)2/6 agonist, Pam2Cys (P2C), and the synthetic MR1 ligand, 5-OP-RU, resulted in robust expansion of MAIT cells in the lung. Although MAIT cell priming significantly enhanced MAIT cell activation and expansion early after M. tuberculosis challenge, these MAIT cells did not restrict M. tuberculosis bacterial load. MAIT cells were depleted by the onset of the adaptive immune response, with decreased detection of granzyme B+ and gamma interferon (IFN-γ)+ MAIT cells relative to that in uninfected P2C/5-OP-RU-treated mice. Decreasing the infectious inoculum, varying the time between priming and aerosol infection, and testing MAIT cell priming in nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2)-deficient mice all failed to reveal an effect of P2C/5-OP-RU-induced MAIT cells on M. tuberculosis control. We conclude that intranasal MAIT cell priming in mice induces early MAIT cell activation and expansion after M. tuberculosis exposure, without attenuating M. tuberculosis growth, suggesting that MAIT cell enrichment in the lung is not sufficient to control M. tuberculosis infection.
