Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease among children in developed countries. Human KD coronary lesions are characterized by increased presence of infiltrating CD3+ T cells, however the specific contributions of the different T cell subpopulations in coronary arteritis development remains unknown. Therefore, we sought to investigate the function of CD4+, CD8+, Regulatory T cells (TReg), and NK T cells in the pathogenesis of the KD. T cell subsets function in KD development was addressed by using a well-established murine model of Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE)-induced KD vasculitis. LCWE-injected mice developed coronary lesions characterized by the presence of inflammatory cell infiltrations. Frequently, this chronic inflammation resulted in complete occlusion of the coronaries due to luminal myofibroblast proliferation (LMP) as well as the development of coronary arteritis and aortitis. In this study we demonstrate the requirement of CD8+ T cells but not CD4+, NK T cells or TReg cells in the development of KD vasculitis by using several Knockout (KO) murine strains and depleting monoclonal antibodies. The LCWE-induced KD vasculitis murine model mimics many histological features of the human disease such as the presence of CD8+ T cells and LMP in the coronary artery lesions as well as epicardial coronary arteritis. Moreover, CD8+ T cells functionally contribute to the development of KD vasculitis in this KD murine model. Therapeutic strategies targeting infiltrating CD8+ T cells might be useful in the management of human KD.
