Fever supports CD8+ effector T cell responses by promoting mitochondrial translation


ABSTRACT: Fever can provide a survival advantage during infection. Metabolic processes are sensitive to environmental conditions, but the effect of fever on T cell metabolism is not well characterized. We show that in activated CD8+ T cells, exposure to febrile temperature (39°C) augmented metabolic activity and T cell effector functions, despite having a limited effect on proliferation or activation marker expression. Transcriptional profiling revealed an upregulation of mitochondrial pathways, which was consistent with increased mitochondrial metabolism and mass observed in T cells exposed to 39°C. Through in vitro and in vivo models we determined that mitochondrial translation is integral to the enhanced metabolic activity and function of CD8+ T cells exposed to febrile temperature. Transiently exposing donor lymphocytes to 39°C prior to infusion in a myeloid leukemia (ML) mouse model conferred enhanced therapeutic efficacy, raising the possibility that exposure of T cells to febrile temperatures could have clinical potential.
