Mucosal signatures of pathogenic T cells in HLA-B*27+ anterior uveitis and axial spondyloarthritis by Paley, MA, Yang, X, Hassman, LM, Penkava, F, Garner, LI, Paley, GL, Linskey, N, Agnew, R, Arantes de Faria, PH, Feng, A, Li, SY, Simone, D, Roberson, EDO, Ruzycki, PA, Esaulova, E, Laurent, J, Feigl-Lenzen, L, Springer, LE, Liu, C, Gillespie, GM, Bowness, P, Garcia, KC, Yokoyama, WM

“…Here, we analyze ocular, synovial, and blood T cells in B27AAU and axSpA, showing that YeiH-specific CD8 T cells express a mucosal gene set and surface proteins consistent with intestinal differentiation, including CD161, integrin α4β7, and CCR6. In addition, we find an expansion of YeiH-specific CD8 T cells in the blood of axSpA and B27AAU over healthy controls, whereas influenza-specific CD8 T cells were equivalent across groups. …”
