Lower respiratory viral infections, such as influenza virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections, often cause severe viral pneumonia in aged individuals. Here, we report that influenza viral pneumonia leads to chronic nonresolving lung pathology and exacerbated accumulation of CD8(+) tissue-resident memory T cells (T(RM)) in the respiratory tract of aged hosts. T(RM) cell accumulation relies on elevated TGF-beta present in aged tissues. Further, we show that T(RM) cells isolated from aged lungs lack a subpopulation characterized by expression of molecules involved in TCR signaling and effector function. Consequently, T(RM) cells from aged lungs were insufficient to provide heterologous protective immunity. The depletion of CD8(+) T(RM) cells dampens persistent chronic lung inflammation and ameliorates tissue fibrosis in aged, but not young, animals. Collectively, our data demonstrate that age-associated T(RM) cell malfunction supports chronic lung inflammatory and fibrotic sequelae after viral pneumonia.
