    Abstract We have previously shown that healthy older adults exhibit reduced cutaneous immune responses during a varicella zoster virus (VZV) antigen challenge that correlated with a nonspecific inflammatory response to the injection itself. Here we found that needle damage during intradermal injections in older adults led to an increase in the number of cutaneous senescent fibroblasts expressing CCL2, resulting in the local recruitment of inflammatory monocytes. These infiltrating monocytes secreted prostaglandin E2, which inhibited resident memory T cell activation and proliferation. Pretreatment of older participants with a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor in vivo decreased CCL2 expression and inhibited monocyte recruitment and secretion of prostaglandin E2. This coincided with an increased response to VZV antigen challenge in the skin. Our results point to a series of molecular and cellular mechanisms that link cellular senescence, tissue damage, excessive inflammation and reduced immune responsiveness in human skin and demonstrate that tissue-specific immunity can be restored in older adults by short-term inhibition of inflammatory responses.

    Abstract Cutaneous antigen-recall models allow for studies of human memory responses in vivo. When combined with skin suction blister (SB) induction, this model offers accessibility to rare populations of antigen-specific T-cells representative of the cellular memory response as well as the cytokine microenvironment in situ. This report describes the practical procedure of a cutaneous recall, an SB induction, and a harvest of antigen-specific T-cells. To exemplify the method, the tuberculin skin test is used for antigenic recall in individuals who, prior to this study, underwent a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination against an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Finally, examples of multiplex and flow cytometric analyses of SB specimens are provided, illustrating high fractions of antigen-specific polyfunctional CD4+ T-cells available by this sampling method compared with cells isolated from the blood. The method described here is safe and minimally invasive, provides a unique opportunity to study both innate and adaptive immune responses in vivo, and may be beneficial to a broad community of researchers working with cell-mediated immunity and human memory responses, in the context of vaccine development.

    Abstract Introduction: Ageing is associated with increased number of infections, decreased vaccine efficacy and increased systemic inflammation termed inflammageing. These changes are reflected by reduced recall responses to varicella zoster virus (VZV) challenge in the skin of older adults. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in the old and has been associated with frailty and increased inflammation. In addition, vitamin D increases immunoregulatory mechanisms and therefore has the potential to inhibit inflammageing.
    Objectives: We investigated the use of vitamin D
    Methods: Vitamin D insufficient older adults (
    Results: We showed that older adults had reduced VZV-specific cutaneous immune response and increased non-specific inflammation as compared to young. Increased non-specific inflammation observed in the skin of older adults negatively correlated with vitamin D sufficiency. We showed that vitamin D
    Conclusion: Vitamin D

    Abstract The in vivo proliferation and disappearance kinetics of lymphocytes may be estimated in humans from rates of deuterium-labeled glucose ((2)H(2)-glucose) incorporation into DNA. This protocol describes its application to regulatory T cells (Treg). Because Treg divide frequently, (2)H(2)-glucose is a suitable precursor, achieving high levels of enrichment over a short period. Being nonradioactive and readily administered, it is appropriate for human studies.There are four phases to the method: labeling, sampling, analysis and modeling. Labeling consists of administration of (2)H(2)-glucose, either intravenously or orally; during this phase, small blood samples are taken to monitor plasma glucose enrichment. Sampling occurs over the ensuing ∼3 weeks; PBMC are collected and sorted according to surface marker expression. Cell separation can be achieved by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using CD4, CD45RA and CD25 to define memory Treg (CD4(+)CD25(hi)), or by a combination of magnetic bead separation and FACS. Analysis consists of DNA extraction, hydrolysis, derivatization to the pentafluoro tri-acetate (PFTA) derivative, and quantitation of deuterium content by gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC/MS). The ratio of deuterium enrichment in cellular DNA relative to plasma glucose is used to derive the fraction of new cells in the sorted population, and this is modeled as a function of time to derive proliferation and disappearance kinetics.

    Abstract Background: The live attenuated vaccine Zostavax was developed to prevent varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation that causes herpes zoster (shingles) in older humans. However, the impact of vaccination on the cutaneous response to VZV is not known.
    Methods: We investigated the response to intradermal VZV antigen challenge before and after Zostavax vaccination in participants >70 years of age by immunohistological and transcriptomic analyses of skin biopsy specimens collected from the challenge site.
    Results: Vaccination increased the proportion of VZV-specific CD4+ T cells in the blood and promoted the accumulation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the skin after VZV antigen challenge. However, Zostavax did not alter the proportion of resident memory T cells (CD4+ and CD8+) or CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in unchallenged skin. After vaccination, there was increased cutaneous T-cell proliferation at the challenge site and also increased recruitment of T cells from the blood, as indicated by an elevated T-cell migratory gene signature. CD8+ T-cell-associated functional genes were also highly induced in the skin after vaccination.
    Conclusion: Zostavax vaccination does not alter the abundance of cutaneous resident memory T cells but instead increases the recruitment of VZV-specific T cells from the blood and enhances T-cell activation, particularly cells of the CD8+ subset, in the skin after VZV antigen challenge.
