The ability of the human immune system to respond to vaccination declines with age. We identified an age-associated defect in T cell receptor (TCR)-induced ERK phosphorylation in naïve CD4+ T cells (P<0.0001) while other signals, such as ZAP70 and PLC-γ1 phosphorylation were not impaired. The defective ERK signaling was caused by the dual specific phosphatase (DUSP) 6 whose protein levels increased with age (r = 0.68, P < 0.0001) due to a decline in repression by miR-181a (r = −0.59, P < 0.0001). Reconstitution of miR-181a lowered DUSP6 levels in naïve CD4+ T cells in elderly individuals. DUSP6 repression with miR-181a or specific siRNA, and DUSP6 inhibition with the allosteric inhibitor (E)-2-benzylidene-3-(cyclohexylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one improved CD4+ T cell responses as seen by increased expression of activation markers, improved proliferation and supported preferential TH1 differentiation. DUSP6 is a potential intervention target for restoring T cell responses in the elderly, which may augment the effectiveness of vaccination.
