An unconventional population of CD4+SLAMF7+ cytotoxic TEM cells (CD4+CTLs) has been linked causally to IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Glucocorticoids represent the first line therapeutic approach in patients with IgG4-RD but their mechanism of action in this specific condition remains unknown. Here we describe the impact of glucocorticoids on CD4+CTLs in IgG4-RD. CD8α, granzyme A, perforin, and SLAMF7 expression within the effector/memory compartment of CD45RO (TEM) and CD45RA (TEMRA) CD4+ T cells was quantified by flow cytometry in 18 active IgG4-RD patients at baseline and after 6 months of glucocorticoid treatment. Eighteen healthy subjects were studied as controls. Next-generation sequencing of the T-cell receptor α and β chain gene was performed on circulating CD4+CTLs in patients with IgG4-RD before and after treatment, and in affected tissues. Circulating CD4+ TEM and TEMRA cells were not expanded in IgG4-RD patients compared to healthy controls. CD4+SLAMF7+ TEM cells (but not TEMRA cells) were significantly increased among IgG4-RD patients. Within CD4+SLAMF7+ TEM cells, CD8α− but not CD8αlow cells were elevated in IgG4-RD patients. The same dominant clones of CD8α−CD4+SLAMF7+ TEM cells found in the peripheral blood were also identified in affected tissue. Both CD8α− and CD8αlow CD4+SLAMF7+ TEM cells expressed cytolytic molecules. Clonally expanded CD8α− but not CD8αlow CD4+SLAMF7+ TEM cells decreased following glucocorticoid-induced disease remission. A subset of CD8α−CD4+SLAMF7+ cytotoxic TEM cells is oligoclonally expanded in patients with active IgG4-RD. This population contracts following glucocorticoid-induced remission. Further characterization of this cell population may provide prognostic information and targets for therapeutic intervention.
