Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a critical mediator of virus-specific CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Here, we examined the expression of PD-1 on SIV-specific CD8+ T cells and its possible involvement in regulation of cytokine production, proliferation and survival of these cells. The majority of SIV-specific CD8+ T cells expressed a PD-1high phenotype, independent of their differentiation status, in all tissues tested. PD-1 expression gradually declined on CD8+ T cells specific for SIV-derived epitopes that had undergone mutational escape, indicating that antigen-specific TCR stimulation is the primary determinant of PD-1 expression. SIV-specific PD-1high CD8+ T cells produced IFN- , TNF- and IL-2 under cognate peptide stimulation. While CD8+ T cells that proliferated in response to antigen had a PD-1high phenotype, it was determined that there was a reduced proliferative capacity of PD-1high compared to PD-1low SIV-specific CD8+ T cells. PD-1high SIV-specific CD8+ T cells were highly susceptible to cell death leading to loss of such cells after in vitro stimulation. Thus, PD-1 is a negative regulator of SIV-specific CD8+ T cells, operating predominantly through the induction of cell death. Manipulation of the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands could thus potentially restore the CD8+ T cell responses in SIV infection.
