Active T cells release bioactive exosomes (EXOs). However, its potential modulation in immune responses is elusive. In this study, we in vitro generated active OVA-specific CD8+ T cells by cultivation of OVA-pulsed dendritic cells (DC OVA) with naive CD8+ T cells derived from OVA-specific TCR transgenic OTI mice and purified EXOs from CD8+ T cell culture supernatant by differential ultracentrifugation. We then investigated the suppressive effect of T cell EXOs on DC OVA-mediated CD8+ CTL responses and antitumor immunity. We found that DC OVA uptake OTI T cell EXOs expressing OVA-specific TCRs and Fas ligand via peptide/MHC Ag I–TCR and CD54–LFA-1 interactions leading to downregulation of peptide/MHC Ag I expression and induction of apoptosis of DC OVA via Fas/Fas ligand pathway. We demonstrated that OVA-specific OTI T cell EXOs, but not lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-specific TCR transgenic mouse CD8+ T cell EXOs, can inhibit DC OVA-stimulated CD8+ CTL responses and antitumor immunity against OVA-expressing B16 melanoma. In addition, these T cell EXOs can also inhibit DC OVA-mediated CD8+ CTL-induced diabetes in transgenic rat insulin promoter-mOVA mice. Interestingly, the anti–LFA-1 Ab treatment significantly reduces T cell EXO-induced inhibition of CD8+ CTL responses in both antitumor immunity and autoimmunity. EXOs released from T cell hybridoma RF3370 cells expressing OTI CD8+ TCRs have a similar inhibitory effect as T cell EXOs in DC OVA-stimulated CTL responses and antitumor immunity. Therefore, our data indicate that Ag-specific CD8+ T cells can modulate immune responses via T cell-released EXOs, and T cell EXOs may be useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases.
