项目摘要
Project Summary
Respiratory tract infections are a leading cause of death worldwide. Compromised cell-mediated immune
responses, low vaccine efficacy, and poor vaccine uptake all increase the likelihood that serious infection will
ensue in pregnant women following exposure to respiratory viruses such as Influenza A virus (IAV);
approximately 80% of pregnant women are at high risk for influenza-associated complications. Our best defense
is vaccination. Vaccine-induced protection is mediated by immunological memory. The majority of immunological
memory studies to date have focused on the differentiation, survival, and delineation of the antipathogen defense
mechanisms employed by pathogen-specific T cells under normal physiological circumstances. The impact of
pregnancy on the persistence and functional recall potential of memory T cells is surprisingly unknown.
The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that IAV-specific T cell memory generated prior to
conception will mediate potent universal, heterosubtypic protection throughout pregnancy. This hypothesis arose
from our observations that memory effector CD4 T cells isolated from influenza infected lungs express low levels
of estrogen and progesterone hormone receptors in comparison to primary effector CD4 T cells. Pregnancy
hormones are well known to have detrimental impacts on the generation and function of primary anti-viral
immune responses. Preliminary findings herein show that heterosubtypic recall responses are indeed protective
in gravid animals primed prior to conception. In the first aim, the persistence of IAV-specific CD4 and CD8
memory T cells during pregnancy, as well as their ability to differentiate into the many protective subsets that
mediate diverse and potent anti-viral effector functions will be determined. Our prior work has shown that memory
CD4 T cells regulate both local and systemic anti-viral inflammatory responses, and, additionally, mobilize innate
lymphoid cells during pathogen infection. Innate lymphoid cells, which function in tissue repair, have recently
been shown to be present in placental tissue. In the second aim, we will thus elucidate the role of IAV-specific
memory T cells in preserving both healthy placental and fetal development through the regulation of systemic
innate inflammatory and cellular responses following IAV infection.
The insight gained from the proposed, `reverse-mechanism', studies will advance our ability to develop
improved vaccines that elicit memory T cells capable of orchestrating protective anti-viral defenses during
pregnancy. This research may also lead to the development of novel strategies to treat expectant mothers
suffering from serious influenza for which current therapeutic options are lacking. Respiratory tract infection with
Influenza A virus remains a serious public health concern, particularly for pregnant women, who have suffered
disproportionally high morbidity and mortality in past epidemic and pandemic seasons. The proposed study has
the potential to make a broad and significant translational impact on human reproductive health.
