This study is the first to investigate the modulation of IL-21 during LTBI and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)/ Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) co-infection in non-human primates (NHP). We show that IL-21 expression, predominantly derived from CD4⁺ T cells, is significantly reduced in lungs of Mtb/SIV co-infected macaques, especially in the absence of cART. Although cART and cART with 3HP partially restore IL-21-producing CD4⁺ T cells, levels remain below those in LTBI, indicating ongoing immune impairment. Spatial transcriptomic analysis suggests localized alterations in immune signaling, including differences in STAT1- and STAT3-associated transcriptional profiles and reduced Mtb-specific IFN-γ responses in co-infected animals. Together, our findings indicate that IL-21-producing CD4⁺ T cells are selectively and persistently impaired in the lungs during Mtb/SIV co-infection despite antimicrobial and antiviral therapy.

Cytokines offer promise for enhancing immunotherapy, but their clinical use is limited by toxicity and a narrow therapeutic index. Immunocytokines, engineered fusion proteins combining antibody specificity with cytokine activity, aim to overcome these challenges by targeting cytokine delivery to immune cells or the tumor microenvironment. We describe SAR445877 (SAR'877), a novel PD-1-targeted immunocytokine that fuses a high-affinity anti-PD-1 antibody with a detuned IL-15/IL-15Rα sushi domain complex. SAR'877 blocks PD-1/PD-L1 and PD-1/PD-L2 interactions while selectively delivering IL-15 signals to PD-1+ T cells, enhancing proliferation and activation of antigen-experienced CD8+ and CD4+ T cells and NK cells, while minimizing systemic inflammation. Mechanistically, SAR'877 activates STAT5 signaling in PD-1+ lymphocytes and restores effector function in exhausted T cells. In preclinical models, a murine surrogate of SAR'877 accelerated viral clearance and induced robust anti-tumor immunity by expanding cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and promoting Th1 polarization. Notably, SAR'877 outperformed anti-PD-1 plus untargeted IL-15, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeted IL-15 delivery.

We previously showed that ex vivo NR supplementation of primary CD4+ T cells from psoriatic individuals dampened immune responsiveness. To validate this in vivo, we performed a randomized, placebo-controlled NR supplementation study in individuals with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. Participants received oral NR (500 mg twice daily) or matching placebo for 4 weeks, with blood samples collected at baseline and after supplementation. NR reduced Th17 immune responsiveness. Bulk CD4+ T cell RNA-seq identified induction of the SLIT-ROBO signaling pathway. NR supplementation increased circulating SLIT2 levels and enhanced SLIT2 production in dermal fibroblasts. Pharmacologic and genetic interrogation in CD4+ T cells and fibroblasts demonstrated that SLIT2, acting through the ROBO1 receptor, inhibited Rho GTPase signaling, thereby attenuating canonical Th17 polarization and fibroblast inflammatory activation. These findings indicate that NAD+ augmentation exerts anti-inflammatory effects in psoriasis through SLIT2-ROBO1-mediated crosstalk between dermal fibroblasts and circulating CD4+ T cells, leading to suppression of Th17-driven inflammation.</p>","PeriodicalId":14722,"journal":{"name":"JCI insight","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147771655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
