Clonally expanded B cells in multiple sclerosis bind EBV EBNA1 and GlialCAM

Tobias Lanz et al.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where autoreactive lymphocytes attack the central nervous system. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been linked to MS, with molecular mimicry between EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and central nervous system protein GlialCAM. EBNA1 immunization exacerbates disease in MS mouse models and anti-EBNA1 and anti-GlialCAM antibodies are prevalent in MS patients, providing a mechanistic link between MS and EBV and guiding the development of new MS therapies.

Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells cooperate with CD4+ T cells to drive compartmentalized immunopathology in the CNS

Ilena Vincenti et al.

Summary: The study reveals that tissue-resident memory T cells (T-RM) may initiate CNS inflammation and immunopathology in chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), independent of circulating CD8(+) T cells. In the absence of CD4(+) T cells, CD8(+) T cells fail to expand and differentiate into terminal effectors. This sheds light on why inflammatory processes may evade current immunomodulatory treatments in chronic autoimmune CNS conditions.

Tissue-resident CD8+ T cells drive compartmentalized and chronic autoimmune damage against CNS neurons

David Frieser et al.

Summary: This study reveals the important role of tissue-resident memory T cells, particularly pathogenic CD8(+) T cells, in chronic autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. These cells are crucial for sustaining chronic inflammation and progressive loss of neurons, and they exhibit phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. The presence and functional output of tissue-resident CD8(+) T cells depend critically on CD4(+) T cells. Therefore, therapies targeting this compartmentalized autoreactive T cell subset may be effective for treating CNS autoimmune diseases.

Tissue-resident CD8 T cells in central nervous system inflammatory diseases: present at the crime scene and...guilty

Doron Merkler et al.

Summary: Tissue-resident memory T cells (T-RM) are a subset of T cells that are retained in tissues and play important roles in protection against reinfection and antitumor responses. The increased density of CD8 T-RM in the central nervous system (CNS) of patients with neuroinflammatory diseases suggests its potential contribution to the pathogenesis of these diseases.

MINI-review of Epstein-Barr virus involvement in multiple sclerosis etiology and pathogenesis

Francesca Aloisi et al.

Summary: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is strongly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), and failure to control EBV infection can lead to the development of cancers and immunopathological diseases. While the exact mechanism of MS is still unclear, evidence suggests that EBV infection is essential for its initiation.

Summary: PTLD is a common malignancy after organ transplantation, often B cell neoplasias carrying EBV. Therapeutic approaches include reducing immunosuppression and immunotherapies targeting CD20. Immune checkpoint inhibition for EBV+ PTLD is not established due to risks of organ rejection and GVHD.

T-cell memory in tissues

Klaas P. J. M. van Gisbergen et al.

Summary: Immunological memory is crucial for faster and more effective immune responses against reinfections. Tissue-resident memory T cells play a vital role in immune defense and inflammatory responses in barrier tissues. However, unchecked actions of these cells may lead to immunopathology.

Decoding Tissue-Residency: Programming and Potential of Frontline Memory T Cells

Simone L. Park et al.

Summary: Memory T-cell responses are divided between different parts of the body, with tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cells permanently staying in tissues without circulating in the blood. These noncirculating cells are crucial nodes in the immune response to invading pathogens and developing malignancies. They play important roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis, inducing immune pathology, and potentially could be used in treating diseases.

Summary: CD8(+) tissue-resident memory T (T-RM) cells exhibit heterogeneity across different tissues, influenced by the activity of tissue-specific molecules; transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta plays a significant role in the generation of T-RM heterogeneity.

Caterina Veroni et al.

Summary: The role of CD8 T cells in the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) has been increasingly recognized in recent years, with studies indicating their importance in disease pathogenesis and neurodegenerative cascade. Research has shown that CD8 T cells predominate in MS brain lesions and are clonally expanded in the central nervous system, potentially playing a key role in inducing neuroinflammation and tissue damage. Additionally, the association of specific MHC class I alleles with MS genetic risk implicates CD8 T cells in disease pathogenesis.
