Fig. 6. Targeting CD6 expressed by Tc17 cells reduces proinflammatory Tc17 cells.

Fig. 6

A CD26hiCD161+ CD8+ T cells contain Tc17 cells and express higher CD6 as illustrated by original plots and overlay histograms of live CD8+ and CD26hiCD161+ CD8+ T cells from PBMC and intestinal tissue of a CD patient analyzed for IL-17A and CD6. B Reduction in CD26hiCD161+ CD8+ T cells in presence of anti-CD6 (Itolizumab) treatment during culture of PBMCs overnight (o/n), or for three or seven days (d3, d7) (plots gated on CD8+ T cells). C Cell numbers in anti-CD6 vs. control-treated assays (n = 4 for each condition). D Percentage of CD26hiCD161+ CD8+ T cells in presence of RPMI, Itolizumab (n = 8) or UMCD6 (n = 5). E Percentage of IL-17A+ CD8+ T cells in presence of RPMI, Itolizumab (n = 14) or UMCD6 (n = 13). F Proportion of IFN-γ and TNF mono- and coproduction by IL-17A+ CD8+ CD3+ T cells in presence of RPMI or Itolizumab (n = 8). G IL-17A production of CD8+ T cells from intestinal biopsies after five-hour stimulation in presence of RPMI or UMCD6. Depicted are samples from a CD patient with clinical and endoscopic remission and a patient with clinical and endoscopic activity. D, E Data after 5 h PMA/Ionomycin stimulation; (BE) assays performed on HD samples. Data in (C) and (F) are presented as mean +/− SEM. Statistical tests used were two-sided. ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
