We previously characterized several tumor-specific T cell clones from PBL and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of a lung cancer patient with identical TCR rearrangements and similar lytic potential, but with different antitumor response. A role of the TCR inhibitory molecule CD5 to impair reactivity of peripheral T cells against the tumor was found to be involved in this process. In this report, we demonstrate that CD5 also controls the susceptibility of specific T cells to activation-induced cell death (AICD) triggered by the tumor. Using a panel of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and PBL-derived clones expressing different levels of CD5, our results indicate that T lymphocyte AICD in response to the cognate tumor is inversely proportional to the surface expression level of CD5. They also suggest a direct involvement of CD5 in this process, as revealed by an increase in tumor-mediated T lymphocyte AICD following neutralization of the molecule with specific mAb. Mechanistically, our data indicate that down-regulation of FasL expression and subsequent inhibition of caspase-8 activation are involved in CD5-induced T cell survival. These results provide evidence for a role of CD5 in the fate of peripheral tumor-specific T cells and further suggest its contribution to regulate the extension of CTL response against tumor.
