Revision as of 19:38, 30 June 2021
Immunosenescence is the gradual deterioration of the immune system brought on by natural age advancement. The adaptive immune system is affected more than the innate immune system.[1] Besides anergy and exhaustion, immunosenescence belongs among the major immune system dysfunctional states. However, while cell anergy or exhaustion are reversible condition, immunosenescence is believed to be a state that can not be reversed.[2][3] Immunosenescence involves both the host's capacity to respond to infections and the development of long-term immune memory. This age-associated immune deficiency is found in both long- and short-living species as a function of their age relative to life expectancy rather than chronological time.[4] It is considered a major contributory factor to the increased frequency of morbidity and mortality among the elderly.
Immunosenescence is not a random deteriorative phenomenon, rather it appears to inversely repeat an evolutionary pattern and most of the parameters affected by immunosenescence appear to be under genetic control.[5] Immunosenescence can also be sometimes envisaged as the result of the continuous challenge of the unavoidable exposure to a variety of antigens such as viruses and bacteria.[6] It has also been studied in the model marsupial, the red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura).[7][8]
Overview of the age-associated decline in immune function
Immunosenescence is a multifactorial condition leading to many pathologically significant health problems in the aged population. Some of the age-dependent biological changes that contribute to the onset of immunosenescence are listed below:
- Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which provide the regulated lifelong supply of leukocyte progenitors that are in turn able to differentiate into a diversity of specialised immune cells (including lymphocytes, antigen-presenting dendritic cells, and phagocytes) diminish in their self-renewal capacity. This is due to the accumulation of oxidative damage to DNA by aging and cellular metabolic activity[9] and the shortening of telomeric terminals of chromosomes.
- Particularly, an increased numbers of MDSCs are observed in bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood of aged mice. Such accumulation of MDSCs impairs senescence and results in the diminished ability of tumor cell clearance and changes in homeostasis and energetic metabolism.[10] Moreover, the increased appearance of MDSCs within a tissue leads to the induction of IL-10 and TGFβ secretion that further promotes tumor cell expansion.[11]
- There is a notable decline in the total number of phagocytes in aged hosts, coupled with an intrinsic reduction of their bactericidal activity.[12][13]
- The cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells and the antigen-presenting function of dendritic cells is known to diminish with old age.[14][15][16][17] The age-associated impairment of dendritic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) has profound implications as this translates into a deficiency in cell-mediated immunity and thus, the inability for effector T-lymphocytes to modulate an adaptive immune response (see below).
- A decline in humoral immunity caused by a reduction in the population of antibody producing B-cells along with a smaller immunoglobulin diversity and affinity.[18][19]
As age advances, there is decline in both the production of new naive lymphocytes and the functional competence of memory cell populations. This has been implicated in the increasing frequency and severity of diseases such as cancer, chronic inflammatory disorders, breakthrough infections and autoimmunity.[20][21] A problem of infections in the elderly is that they frequently present with non-specific signs and symptoms, and clues of focal infection are often absent or obscured by underlying chronic conditions.[4] Ultimately, this provides problems in diagnosis and, subsequently, treatment.
In addition to changes in immune responses, the beneficial effects of inflammation devoted to the neutralisation of dangerous and harmful agents early in life and in adulthood become detrimental late in life in a period largely not foreseen by evolution, according to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging.[22] It should be further noted that changes in the lymphoid compartment is not solely responsible for the malfunctioning of the immune system in the elderly. Although myeloid cell production does not seem to decline with age, macrophages become dysregulated as a consequence of environmental changes.[23]
T-cell functional dysregulation as a biomarker for immunosenescence
The functional capacity of T-cells is most influenced by the effects of aging. In fact, age-related alterations are evident in all stages of T-cell development, making them a significant factor in the development of immunosenescence.[24] After birth, the decline of T-cell function begins with the progressive involution of the thymus, which is the organ essential for T-cell maturation following the migration of precursor cells from the bone marrow. This age-associated decrease of thymic epithelial volume results in a reduction/exhaustion on the number of thymocytes (i.e. pre-mature T-cells), thus reducing output of peripheral naïve T-cells.[25][26] Once matured and circulating throughout the peripheral system, T-cells still undergo deleterious age-dependent changes. Together with the age-related thymic involution, and the consequent age-related decrease of thymic output of new T cells, this situation leaves the body practically devoid of virgin T cells, which makes the body more prone to a variety of infectious and non-infectious diseases.[6]
By age 40, an estimated 50% to 85% of adults have contracted human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), which is believed to be a major cause of immunosenescence,[1] although this is controversial.[27] Despite the fact that an average of 10% (and up to 50%) of the CD4 and CD8 memory T cells of HCMV-infected persons may be CMV-specific, these persons do not have a higher fatality rate resulting from other infections.[27]
T-cell components associated with immunosenescence include:
- reduction in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio[28]
- impaired development of CD4+ T follicular helper cells, which are specialized in facilitating peripheral B cell maturation, and the generation of antibody-producing plasma cells and memory B cells[29]
- deregulation of intracellular signal transduction capabilities[30]
- diminished capacity to produce effector lymphokines[31][32][33]
- shrinkage of antigen-recognition repertoire of T-cell receptor (TcR) diversity[34][35]
- cytotoxic activity of Natural Killer T-cells (NKTs) decreases[15]
- impaired proliferation in response to antigenic stimulation[31][32][34][35]
- the accumulation and the clonal expansion of memory and effector T-cells[5][32]
- hampered immune defences against viral pathogens, especially by cytotoxic CD8+ T cells[33]
- changes in cytokine profile e.g. increased pro-inflammatory cytokines milieu present in the elderly[36]
