Characterization of age‐associated exhausted CD 8+ T cells defined by increased expression of Tim‐3 and PD‐1
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Aging is accompanied by altered T‐cell responses that result in susceptibility to various diseases. Previous findings on the increased expression of inhibitory receptors, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1), in the T cells of aged mice emphasize the importance of investigations into the relationship between T‐cell exhaustion and aging‐associated immune dysfunction. In this study, we demonstrate that T‐cell immunoglobulin mucin domain‐3 (Tim‐3), another exhaustion marker, is up‐regulated on aged T cells, especially CD 8+ T cells. Tim‐3‐expressing cells also produced PD‐1, but Tim‐3+PD‐1+ CD 8+ T cells had a distinct phenotype that included the expression of CD 44 and CD 62L, from Tim‐3−PD‐1+ cells. Tim‐3+PD‐1+ CD 8+ T cells showed more evident properties associated with exhaustion than Tim‐3−PD‐1+ CD 8+ T cells: an exhaustion‐related marker expression profile, proliferative defects following homeostatic or TCR stimulation, and altered production of cytokines. Interestingly, these cells produced a high level of IL‐10 and induced normal CD 8+ T cells to produce IL‐10, which might contribute to immune dysregulation in aged mice. The generation of Tim‐3‐expressing CD 8+ T cells in aged mice seems to be mediated by encounters with antigens but not by specific infection, based on their high expression of CD 49d and their unbiased TCR Vβ usage. In conclusion, we found that a CD 8+ T‐cell population with age‐associated exhaustion was distinguishable by its expression of Tim‐3. These results provide clues for understanding the alterations that occur in T‐cell populations with age and for improving dysfunctions related to the aging of the immune system.

An increase in the number of exhausted T cells is another immunological feature of adaptive immune ageing.
“Another immunological feature of adaptive immune ageing is the increase in the number of exhausted T cells, characterized by the expression of inhibitory receptor molecules (for example, PD1 and TIM3), decreased proliferative capacity and decreased effector functions118,119.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
