BackgroundHuman T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can cause chronic spinal cord inflammation, known as HTLV-1–associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Since CD4+CCR4+T cells are the main HTLV-1 reservoir, we evaluated the defucosylated humanized anti-CCR4 antibody mogamulizumab as a treatment for HAM/TSP.MethodsWe assessed the effects of mogamulizumab on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 11 patients with HAM/TSP. We also studied how CD8+T cells, namely CD8+CCR4+T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, are involved in HTLV-1 infection and HAM/TSP pathogenesis and how they would be affected by mogamulizumab.ResultsMogamulizumab effectively reduced the HTLV-1 proviral load (56.4% mean reduction at a minimum effective concentration of 0.01 µg/mL), spontaneous proliferation, and production of proinflammatory cytokines, including interferon γ (IFN-γ). Like CD4+CCR4+T cells, CD8+CCR4+T cells from patients with HAM/TSP exhibited high proviral loads and spontaneous IFN-γ production, unlike their CCR4−counterparts. CD8+CCR4+T cells from patients with HAM/TSP contained more IFN-γ–expressing cells and fewer interleukin 4–expressing cells than those from healthy donors. Notably, Tax-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes that may help control the HTLV-1 infection were overwhelmingly CCR4−.ConclusionsWe determined that CD8+CCR4+T cells and CD4+CCR4+T cells are prime therapeutic targets for treating HAM/TSP and propose mogamulizumab as a new treatment.
