γδ T cells producing interleukin-17A regulate adipose regulatory T cell homeostasis and thermogenesis.

γδ T cells are situated at barrier sites and guard the body from infection and damage. However, little is known about their roles outside of host defense in nonbarrier tissues. Here, we characterize a highly enriched tissue-resident population of γδ T cells in adipose tissue that regulate age-dependent regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion and control core body temperature in response to environmental fluctuations. Mechanistically, innate PLZF+ γδ T cells produced tumor necrosis factor and interleukin (IL) 17 A and determined PDGFRα+ and Pdpn+ stromal-cell production of IL-33 in adipose tissue. Mice lacking γδ T cells or IL-17A exhibited decreases in both ST2+ Treg cells and IL-33 abundance in visceral adipose tissue. Remarkably, these mice also lacked the ability to regulate core body temperature at thermoneutrality and after cold challenge. Together, these findings uncover important physiological roles for resident γδ T cells in adipose tissue immune homeostasis and body-temperature control.

[Synergistic Effect of Immune Checkpoint Blockade Inhibition Therapy by Modulating T Cell Metabolism].

Immune checkpoint blockade inhibition is a therapy which interferes with inhibitory signals placed upon immune cells, thereby eliciting anti-tumor responses. Although programmed death-1(PD-1)blockade therapy has been shown to be highly effective in clinical use, certain population of patients still fail to respond. Therefore, it is critical to determine how therapeutic efficacy of checkpoint inhibition can be enhanced. Recently, it has been shown that intracellular metabolism plays an important role in T cell differentiation and function. Because an effective tumor response relies on the differentiation of tumor-responsive effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs), understanding such mechanisms will be essential for developing an improved therapeutic approach. Experiments on tumor-bearing mice have displayed strong anti-tumor responses upon combination therapy ofPD -1 blockade and enhanced mitochondrial metabolism, through increased production ofreactive oxygen species(ROS); upregulation ofmechanistic target ofrapamycin(mTOR)and AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK); and upregulation ofperoxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PGC-1a). In addition, the use of bezafibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)agonist, in combination with PD-1 blockade resulted in improved effector function in CTLs. In this review, we will explore the mechanism behind T cell metabolism under the context ofcheckpoint blockade therapy, as well as how modulating T cell metabolism yields synergistic anti-tumor effects in combination with PD-1 blockade therapy.
