TYK2 signaling promotes the development of autoreactive CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes and type 1 diabetes
Nature Communications(2024)
摘要
Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of the JAK family, has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases. However, the role of TYK2 in CD8 + T cells and autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poorly understood. In this study, we generate Tyk2 gene knockout non-obese diabetes (NOD) mice and demonstrate that the loss of Tyk2 inhibits the development of autoreactive CD8 + T-BET + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by impairing IL-12 signaling in CD8 + T cells and the CD8 + resident dendritic cell-driven cross-priming of CTLs in the pancreatic lymph node (PLN). Tyk2 -deficient CTLs display reduced cytotoxicity. Increased inflammatory responses in β-cells with aging are dampened by Tyk2 deficiency. Furthermore, treatment with BMS-986165, a selective TYK2 inhibitor, inhibits the expansion of T-BET + CTLs, inflammation in β-cells and the onset of autoimmune T1D in NOD mice. Thus, our study reveals the diverse roles of TYK2 in driving the pathogenesis of T1D.
