Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is caused by persistent infection of epithelial cells by low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. While multiple infiltrated immune cells have been reported to mediate disease progress, knowledge of HPV-reactive T-cell subsets in papillomas remains elusive. Through single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA microarray, we found that CD8+ tissue-resident memory T (CD8+ T) cells with strong interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production expanded, and were negatively correlated to the disease severity in the frequency of surgery. These IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells were readily activated and expanded by autologous dendritic cells loaded with HPV11 E7 peptide pool. Moreover, T cell receptor (TCR) clonal expansion was observed in JORRP papilloma tissues, indicating a biased TCR repertoire toward HPV-specific recognition. Finally, we identified and characterized HPV11 E7-specific candidate TCR clonotypes from IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells, suggesting their potential application in TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T) therapy for HPV11-related diseases. Our findings provided insights into the specific local immune response to HPV6/11 infection and highlighted the importance of IFN-γ+ CD8+ T cells in anti-HPV6/11 T-cell immunity.IMPORTANCEThe persistent recurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) 6/11 infection in papillomas underscores the failure of local immune responses in patients with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP). Our previous study demonstrated that T cells constitute the predominant immune cell population in JORRP papilloma tissues. Understanding the T-cell-mediated immune responses within JORRP papilloma tissues is crucial for disease control. In the present study, we characterized CD8+ tissue-resident memory T (CD8+ T) cells as the primary T-cell subset responsible for local anti-HPV6/11 immunity. Moreover, we identified two HPV11 E7-specific candidate T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes out of IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells. Overall, our findings provided insights into the local immune responses to HPV6/11 infection and offered information for developing more effective immunotherapeutic strategies against JORRP.
儿童复发性呼吸道乳头瘤病(JORRP)是由低危型人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)6 和 11 型持续感染上皮细胞引起的。虽然已经报道了多种浸润免疫细胞介导疾病进展,但 HPV 反应性 T 细胞亚群在乳头瘤中的知识仍然难以捉摸。通过单细胞 RNA 测序和 RNA 微阵列,我们发现具有强烈干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)产生能力的 CD8+组织驻留记忆 T(CD8+T)细胞扩增,并与手术频率相关疾病严重程度呈负相关。这些 IFN-γ+CD8+记忆 T 细胞可被负载 HPV11E7 肽库的自体树突状细胞轻易激活和扩增。此外,在 JORRP 乳头瘤组织中观察到 T 细胞受体(TCR)克隆扩增,表明 HPV 特异性识别的 TCR 库存在偏向性。最后,我们从 IFN-γ+CD8+记忆 T 细胞中鉴定并表征了 HPV11E7 特异性候选 TCR 克隆型,提示它们在 HPV11 相关疾病的 TCR 工程 T 细胞(TCR-T)治疗中的潜在应用。我们的研究结果提供了 HPV6/11 感染的特定局部免疫反应的见解,并强调了 IFN-γ+CD8+T 细胞在抗 HPV6/11 T 细胞免疫中的重要性。
重要性:HPV6/11 感染在乳头瘤中的持续复发突出了青少年复发性呼吸道乳头瘤病(JORRP)患者局部免疫反应的失败。我们之前的研究表明,T 细胞构成 JORRP 乳头瘤组织中主要的免疫细胞群体。了解 JORRP 乳头瘤组织内的 T 细胞介导的免疫反应对于疾病控制至关重要。在本研究中,我们将 CD8+组织驻留记忆 T(CD8+T)细胞鉴定为负责局部抗 HPV6/11 免疫的主要 T 细胞亚群。此外,我们从 IFN-γ+CD8+记忆 T 细胞中鉴定出两种 HPV11E7 特异性候选 T 细胞受体(TCR)克隆型。总体而言,我们的研究结果提供了 HPV6/11 感染的局部免疫反应的见解,并为开发针对 JORRP 的更有效的免疫治疗策略提供了信息。
