Characterization of membrane-bound IL-22+ T cell subsets in HIV-1 patients coinfected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Background: Previously, we have found that IL-22 could be not only secreted outside of cells, but also highly expressed on the T cells membrane in HIV-1 negative patients with tuberculosis (TB). However, the study on membrane-bound IL-22+ cells of HIV-1 infected patients is rare. Therefore, we investigated antigen-specific membrane-bound IL-22+ T cell subsets in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) coinfection of HIV-1 infected individuals. Methods: A case–control study that enrolled 74 HIV-1 infected participants was carried out, including HIV-1 monoinfection (HIV+TB−, n = 43), HIV-1 infected patients with latent TB (HIV+LTB, n = 18) and HIV-1 coinfected patients with active TB (HIV+TB+, n = 13). We made use of an IFN-γ release assay (IGRA) to screen LTB individuals. Purified protein derivative (PPD) and phosphoantigen (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP) were used as specific-stimulators to detect the levels of peripheral blood membrane-bound IL-22+ T cell subsets via cell surface staining and flow cytometry among three groups. Results: An approximate rate of 24.3% (n = 18 out of 74) of latent M.tb infection among HIV-1 positive population in Eastern China. Interestingly, HMBPP-specific CD3+Vγ2+ T cells were impaired in HIV+TB+patients compared with HIV+LTB patients (P < 0.05). Furthermore, increases of PPD-specific and HMBPP-specific membrane-bound IL-22+ T cell subsets including CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3+Vγ2+ T cells were observed in HIV+TB+group rather than HIV+LTB groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion: Antigen-specific membrane-bound IL-22+ T cells were highly expressed in M.tb coinfection of HIV-1 infected individuals, and may play an important role in anti-TB immune response during coinfection with HIV-1..
