Persistent exposure to antigen leads to T-cell exhaustion and immunologic dysfunction. We examined the immune exhaustion markers T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and healthy individuals and the relationship with cytotoxic CD8+ T-lymphocyte activity. Frequencies of TIGIT but not PD-1 were positively correlated with CD8+ T-lymphocyte activity in HIV-aviremic and healthy individuals; however, there was no correlation in HIV-viremic individuals. Transcriptome analyses revealed up-regulation of genes associated with antiviral immunity in TIGIT+CD8+ versus TIGIT-CD8+ T cells. Our data suggest that TIGIT+CD8+ T cells do not necessarily represent a state of immune exhaustion and maintain an intrinsic cytotoxicity in HIV-infected individuals.
持续暴露于抗原会导致T细胞耗竭和免疫功能障碍。我们检测了人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染者和健康个体中的免疫耗竭标志物T细胞免疫球蛋白和ITIM结构域（TIGIT）以及程序性细胞死亡蛋白1（PD - 1），并研究了它们与细胞毒性CD8 + T淋巴细胞活性的关系。在HIV病毒血症阴性和健康个体中，TIGIT的频率而非PD - 1的频率与CD8 + T淋巴细胞活性呈正相关；然而，在HIV病毒血症阳性个体中则无相关性。转录组分析显示，与TIGIT - CD8 + T细胞相比，TIGIT + CD8 + T细胞中与抗病毒免疫相关的基因上调。我们的数据表明，TIGIT + CD8 + T细胞不一定代表免疫耗竭状态，并且在HIV感染个体中维持内在的细胞毒性。
