PG - 87-97 LID - 10.1111/imm.12632 [doi] AB - Perturbations in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell phenotype and function are hallmarks of tuberculosis-diabetes co-morbidity. However, their contribution to the pathogenesis of this co-morbidity and the effect of anti-tuberculosis treatment on the phenotype of the T-cell subsets is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the frequency of different T-cell subsets in individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with diabetes mellitus (DM) or without coincident diabetes mellitus (NDM) before, during and after completion of anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. PTB-DM is characterized by heightened frequencies of central memory CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and diminished frequencies of naive, effector memory and/or effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells at baseline and after 2 months of treatment but not following treatment completion in comparison with PTB-NDM. Central memory CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell frequencies exhibited a positive correlation with fasting blood glucose and glycated haemoglobin A1c levels, whereas the frequencies of naive and effector memory or effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells exhibited a negative correlation. However, the frequencies of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell subsets in individuals with PTB exhibited no significant relationship with bacterial burdens. Finally, although minor alterations in the T-cell subset compartment were observed at 2 months of treatment, significantly decreased frequencies of central memory and significantly enhanced frequencies of naive CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were observed at the completion of treatment. Our data reveal a profound effect of coexistent diabetes on the altered frequencies of central memory, effector memory and naive T cells and its normalization following therapy.
