Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has a life-long impact on the immune system, particularly on memory T cells. However, the effect of early life CMV infection on the phenotype and functionality of T cells in infants and especially longitudinal changes occurring during childhood have not been explored in detail.

The phenotype and functionality of peripheral blood CD8+ and CD4+ T cells from children infected with CMV in early life (< 6 months of age) was analyzed using high-dimensional flow cytometry. Samples from CMV IgG-seropositive (CMV+) children were collected at 6 months and 6 years of age and compared to samples from CMV-seronegative (CMV-) children.

Early life CMV infection caused multiple alterations within T cells. These include downregulation of CD28 expression and upregulation of CD57 expression within both CD27+ early and CD27- late effector memory CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells at 6 months of age. Of these changes, only alterations within the highly differentiated late effector memory compartment persisted at the age of 6 years.

Early life CMV-infection has a distinct impact on developing CD8+ and CD4+ memory T cell compartments. It appears to induce both temporary as well as longer-lasting alterations, which may affect the functionality of the immune system throughout life.

早期巨细胞病毒感染对儿童免疫特征的影响。

巨细胞病毒（CMV）感染会对免疫系统，尤其是记忆 T 细胞产生终身影响。然而，早期巨细胞病毒感染对婴儿 T 细胞表型和功能的影响，尤其是对儿童期 T 细胞纵向变化的影响还没有详细的研究。我们使用高维流式细胞术分析了早期（小于 6 个月）感染 CMV 的儿童外周血 CD8+ 和 CD4+ T 细胞的表型和功能。研究人员收集了6个月和6岁时CMV IgG-血清阳性（CMV+）儿童的样本，并与CMV-血清阴性（CMV-）儿童的样本进行了比较。早期CMV感染会导致T细胞发生多种改变。这些变化包括：6 个月大时，CD27+ 早期效应记忆 CD8+ 和 CD4+ T 细胞和 CD27- 晚期效应记忆 CD8+ 和 CD4+ T 细胞中的 CD28 表达下调，CD57 表达上调。在这些变化中，只有高度分化的晚期效应记忆区的变化在 6 岁时仍然存在。生命早期的 CMV 感染对发育中的 CD8+ 和 CD4+ 记忆 T 细胞区有明显的影响。它似乎会诱发暂时性和长期性的改变，这可能会影响免疫系统一生的功能。
