Platelets enhance Th1 and Treg cell responses of CD4(+) central memory T cells through PF4-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis and proliferation of Tcm cells.
Platelets regulate multiple aspects of CD4(+) T cell immunity, and may exert distinct regulations among different T cell subsets. Our aim was to investigate how platelets regulate CD4(+) central memory T cell (Tcm) responses. alpha CD3/alpha CD28-stimulated human CD4(+) Tcm cells were cultured without or with platelets or platelet-derived mediators. Polyclonal stimulation induced cell proliferation and Th1 and Treg cell activation of Tcm cells. Platelet factor 4/PF4 neutralization abolished platelet-enhanced Tcm effector responses, whilst TGF beta neutralization only partially inhibited platelet-enhanced Treg cell activation. PF4 supplementation mimicked the effects of platelet co-cultures, while PF4 receptor CXCR3 blockade and CXCR3 knockdown with siRNAs inhibited or abolished PF4-enhanced Th1 and Treg cell responses. Platelet co-cultures or PF4-treatment increased Tcm cell proliferation, whilst CXCR3 blockade counteracted. PF4-enhanced Tcm proliferation and effector cell responses were associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Overexpression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) mimicked PF4 effects, and PF4 treatment attenuated Akt phosphorylation of activated Tcm cells, leading to mitochondrial biogenesis. Impacts of platelets and PF4 on Tcm proliferation were further confirmed by that CXCR3 knockdown/blockade counteracted PF4-enhanced Tcm cell proliferation. In conclusion, platelets enhance Th1 and Treg cell responses of CD4(+) Tcm cells, via PF4-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis and cell proliferation of Tcm cells.
