Functional characterization and modulation of cytokine production by CD8+ T cells from human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals

CD8+ T-cell clones were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of three human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative individuals and six HIV-seropositive individuals and assessed for their cytokine secretion profile, cytolytic potential, and chemokine production. While the great majority of CD8+ T-cell clones generated from HIV-seronegative individuals produced interferon (IFN)-gamma, but not interleukin-4 (IL-4), that is a type 1 cytotoxic (Tc1) profile, high numbers of CD8+ T-cell clones generated from HIV-seropositive individuals produced IL-4 in addition to IFN-gamma or IL-4 alone, thus showing a type 0 cytotoxic (Tc0)- or a type 2 cytotoxic (Tc2) profile, respectively. Tc0/Tc2 cells displayed lower cytolytic activity than Tc1 cells, including a reduced ability to lyse autologous targets pulsed with HIV or HIV peptides. By contrast, the production of chemokines RANTES and macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha was comparable in Tc1, Tc0, and Tc2 clones irrespective of whether they were derived from HIV-seronegative or HIV-seropositive individuals. When CD8+ T-cell clones were generated from PBMC cultures of HIV-seronegative individuals conditioned with IL-4 plus an anti-IL-12 antibody (Ab), a shift towards the Tc0/Tc2-like profile was observed. Conversely, the addition to PBMC cultures of IL-12 plus an anti-IL-4 Ab shifted the differentiation of CD8+ T cells from HIV-infected individuals towards the Tc1-like profile, whereas IL-12 or anti-IL-4 Ab alone had a lower Tc1-promoting effect. Irradiated PBMC from HIV-infected individuals, used as feeder cells, shifted the differentiation of CD8+ T cells from a healthy HIV-seronegative individual towards the Tc0/Tc2-like profile. On the other hand, a shift towards the Tcl-like profile was noted in CD8+ T-cell clones generated from the skin specimens of two HIV- seropositive patients with Kaposi's sarcoma, successfully treated with IFN-alpha, in comparison to CD8+ clones generated from the same skin areas before treatment. The IFN-alpha-induced Tc1 shift could be prevented by the incubation of skin-infiltrating CD8+ T cells with IL-4 before cloning. Taken together, these data indicate that both defective production of IL-12 and abnormal IL-4 production in bulk PBMC populations of HIV-infected individuals may contribute to the development of high numbers of CD8+ T-cell clones showing a Tc0/Tc2- like phenotype and reduced cytolytic potential against HIV itself. They also suggest that the cytokine profile of CD8+ T-cell clones can be modulated by cytokines (or anticytokine Ab) both in vitro and in vivo.
