Functional exhaustion of antigen-specific T cells is a defining characteristic of
many chronic infections, but the underlying mechanisms of T cell dysfunction are
not well understood. Epigenetics plays an important role in the control of T cell
development, differentiation, and function. To examine if epigenetics also plays
a role in T cell exhaustion, we analyzed chromatin remodeling in CD8(+) T cells
from mice with chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. We observed
downregulation of diacetylated histone H3 in both virus-specific and total CD8(+)
T cells, and functional defects not only in virus-specific CD8(+) T cells but
also within the total CD8(+) T cell population. In vitro treatment of these
exhausted CD8(+) T cells with histone deacetylase inhibitors restored
diacetylated histone H3 levels, and improved their immune functions. Upon
adoptive transfer, these treated CD8(+) T cells developed into functional memory
T cells in vivo that enhanced protective immunity. These results define a role of
epigenetics in T cell exhaustion and suggest epigenetic manipulation as a novel
molecular therapy to restore immune functions.
