BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) is a
refractory infectious disease, with a low success rate of the antimicrobial
therapy. T cells and macrophages play a critical role in regulating the mechanism
of immunity against mycobacterial infections. Although T cell dysfunction may be
associated with treatment failure in MAC-PD, supporting evidence is scarce. This
study aimed to elucidate the immunological characteristics of patients with
refractory MAC-PD, focusing on immunosuppression and T cell exhaustion. METHODS:
Patients with MAC-PD who received standard antimicrobial therapy for at least
12 months were enrolled and classified into treatment success or failure groups.
Flow cytometry was used to investigate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell characteristics
in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. RESULTS: This study involved 41 patients,
including 21 and 20 in the treatment success and failure groups, respectively.
Patients with MAC-PD had higher expression of co-inhibitory molecules, including
PD-1 and TIM-3, as well as CD160, LAG-3, and 2B4, on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells
than healthy controls. However, no differences in expression were observed
between the treatment success and failure groups for most activation,
co-stimulatory, and co-inhibitory molecules and transcription factors.
Furthermore, no difference in effector cytokine production (IL-2, TNF, and IFN-?)
in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells was observed between the groups. However, patients
with MAC-PD with low IL-2-producing CD8? T cells had a significantly longer
disease duration than those with moderate and high IL-2-producing status (138.3
vs. 42.7 months). CD8(+) T cells from patients with MAC-PD with low IL-2
production and prolonged disease duration tended to express higher 2B4 and lower
CD28 levels. CONCLUSIONS: The effector functions of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells are
not lost during treatment failure. However, low CD8(+) T cell IL-2 production was
significantly associated with longer disease duration. High 2B4 and low CD28
expression on CD8(+) T cells may represent potential markers of T cell
dysfunction. Such patients may serve as suitable targets for future host-directed
therapies. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered with the University
Hospital Medical Information Network of Japan (registration number:
UMIN000043426, registration date: March 1, 2021).
