DOCK8 mutations result in an inherited combined immunodeficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to skin and other infections. We show that when DOCK8-deficient T and NK cells migrate through confined spaces, they develop cell shape and nuclear deformation abnormalities that do not impair chemotaxis but contribute to a distinct form of catastrophic cell death we term cytothripsis. Such defects arise during lymphocyte migration in collagen-dense tissues when DOCK8, through CDC42 and p21-activated kinase (PAK), is unavailable to coordinate cytoskeletal structures. Cytothripsis of DOCK8-deficient cells prevents the generation of long-lived skin-resident memory CD8 T cells, which in turn impairs control of herpesvirus skin infections. Our results establish that DOCK8-regulated shape integrity of lymphocytes prevents cytothripsis and promotes antiviral immunity in the skin.
DOCK8 突变导致一种遗传性联合免疫缺陷,其特征是皮肤和其他感染的易感性增加。我们表明,当 DOCK8 缺陷的 T 和 NK 细胞通过狭窄的空间迁移时,它们会出现细胞形状和核变形异常,这不会损害趋化性,但会导致我们称之为细胞碎裂的一种独特形式的灾难性细胞死亡。当 DOCK8 通过 CDC42 和 p21 激活激酶 (PAK) 无法协调细胞骨架结构时,这种缺陷会在淋巴细胞在胶原丰富的组织中迁移时出现。DOCK8 缺陷细胞的细胞碎裂会阻止产生长寿的皮肤驻留记忆 CD8 T 细胞,从而损害对疱疹病毒皮肤感染的控制。我们的结果表明,DOCK8 调节的淋巴细胞形态完整性可防止细胞碎裂,并促进皮肤中的抗病毒免疫。
