  1. International Association of Biomedical Gerontology 10th Congress Queens College/Cambridge September 2003 T cell Replicative senescence: pleiotropic effects on human aging Rita B. Effros Dept of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine David Geffen School of Medicineat UCLA

  2. Viral infections and aging • increased incidence and severity (influenza, RSV, HIV, SARS) • re-emergence of latent infections

  3. Cytotoxic ( CD8) T cells > 1018 different antigen receptors

  4. Replicative senescence

  5. Reduced apoptosis

  6. Effect of repeated stimulation on telomerase

  7. Effect of repeated stimulation on telomerase *

  8. X Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health & Disease, 3rd edition, by Janeway & Travers ( Current Biology Limited & Garland Publishing)

  9. CD28-negative T cells  with ageBoucher et al., Exp. Gerontol. 33:267, 1998 in CD4in CD8 Neonates NT NT Young adult (20-40) 4% 42% Elderly (70-90) 12% 79%

  10. CD28- T cells have shortened telomeres * unable to proliferate resistant to apoptosis

  11. Do senescent CD8 T cells affect other cell types and organ systems in vivo ?

  12. CD8+ CD28- T cells • correlate with poor response to flu vaccine • suppress helper T cells • disease progression in ankylosing spondilitis • organ transplant patients-may suppress T cells that would reject the graft • correlate with osteoporotic fractures

  13. REGULATION OF BONE RESORPTION Role of T cells REGULATION OF OC FORMATION AND FUNCTION Model T CELLS MONOCYTES Stimulatory Factors RANKL TNFa IL-1 TNFa Inhibitory Factors TNFa ACTIVE OC OC PRECURSORS Differentiation and activation OPG M-CSF RANKL RANKL IL-6 PGE2 GM-CSF TGFb TGFb STROMAL CELLS (Modified from SAGE KE/ B.L. Riggs)

  14. Effect of culture “age” onproduction of TNF alpha TNFa pg/ml 4 16 25 Population Doublings

  15. Production of “RANKL” by activated T cells (Receptor Activator for NFkB Ligand)

  16. Production of RANKL by activated T cells RANKL ng/ml

  17. Ectopic telomerase expression leads to lifespan extension of virus-specific CD8 T cells Telomere length stablization, prevents accumulation of p16, p21

  18. Correction of senescence-associated cytotoxic defect

  19. Replicative senescence • end stage of normal T cell differentiation • increased proportions in elderly • reduced anti-viral function • once generated, senescent CD8 T cells persist? exert broad physiological effects • hTERT corrects only some of the defects associated with CD8 T cell senescence (CD28, compounds that  telomerase) • Reversal of T cell replicative senescence can improve both immune function and bone status
