Cardiac tertiary immune niches drive immune activation in immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis

Listed in NCBI GEO

Using integrated spatial and single-cell analyses in a pharmacological murine model, we identified regional infiltration of inflammatory myeloid cells and PD-1⁺CD8⁺ T cells in the heart that organize into fibroblast-rich immune structures, which we term Tertiary T Cell Niches (TTCNs).

Description

TTCNs serve as hubs for T cell activation, sharing features of tertiary lymphoid structures. Complementary TCR analyses revealed clonal expansion of cardiac T cells following ICI treatment.

Together, these findings suggest that cardiac tertiary immune structures play a central role in activating and recruiting immune cells in ICI myocarditis and highlight pathways that could mitigate ICI cardiotoxicity.
