This study highlights a novel mechanism in which myelin-reactive CD8+ T cells directly interact with cDC1 and modulate cDC2 through paracrine mechanisms to induce mature, regulatory dendritic cells, which leads to inhibited CD4+ T cell responses and reduced EAE pathogenesis.

CD8 directly interacted with cDC1 and indirectly influenced cDC2 through paracrine signaling.
Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of key immunoregulatory genes in both cDC subsets with enrichment of pathways involved in immune regulation and T cell differentiation.

It was found that CD8 T cells induced regulatory changes in both cDC1 and cDC2, where both types:
1. Adopted a mature and regulatory phenotype with an anti-inflammatory cytokine profile
2. Reduced capacity to support CD4+ T cell proliferation

Using a mouse model of multiple sclerosis called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), they show that myelin-specific CD8 T cells influence dendritic cells (DC), an important antigen-presenting cell in immune systems.

2. Why do people with PCD >40 years of age have elevated susceptibility to broncholithiasis compared to younger ages?
3. Does the presence of mineralized concretions near and within submucosal glands suggest a role for altered secretions in broncholithiasis pathogenesis?
