PG - 249-261 LID - 10.1111/imcb.12619 [doi] AB - Sepsis-elicited immunosuppression elevates the risk of secondary infections. We used a clinically relevant mouse model and serial peripheral blood samples from patients to assess the antimicrobial activities of mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in sepsis. Hepatic and splenic MAIT cells from B6-MAIT(CAST) mice displayed increased CD69 expression and a robust interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) production capacity shortly after sublethal cecal ligation and puncture, but not at a late timepoint. Peripheral blood MAIT cell frequencies were reduced in septic patients at the time of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and more dramatically so among nonsurvivors, suggesting the predictive usefulness of early MAIT cell enumeration. In addition, at ICU admission, MAIT cells from sepsis survivors launched stronger IFNgamma responses to several bacterial species compared with those from patients who subsequently died of sepsis. Of note, while low human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR(+) monocyte frequencies, widely regarded as a surrogate indicator of sepsis-induced immunosuppression, were gradually corrected, the numerical insufficiency of MAIT cells was not resolved over time, and their CD69 expression continued to decline. MAIT cell responses to bacterial pathogens, a major histocompatibility complex-related protein 1 (MR1) ligand, and interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-18 were also progressively lost during sepsis and did not recover by the time of ICU/hospital discharge. We propose that MAIT cell dysfunctions contribute to post-sepsis immunosuppression. CI - (c) 2023 The Authors.
