Abstract
The T cell population size is stringently controlled before, during, and after immune responses, as improper cell death regulation can result in autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. RIPK1 is an important regulator of peripheral T cell survival and homeostasis. However, whether different peripheral T cell subsets show a differential requirement for RIPK1 and which programmed cell death pathway they engage in vivo remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that conditional ablation of Ripk1 in conventional T cells (Ripk1 Delta CD4) causes peripheral T cell lymphopenia, as witnessed by a profound loss of naive CD4+, naive CD8+, and FoxP3+ regulatory T cells. Interestingly, peripheral naive CD8+ T cells in Ripk1 Delta CD4 mice appear to undergo a selective pressure to retain RIPK1 expression following activation. Mixed bone marrow chimeras revealed a competitive survival disadvantage for naive, effector, and memory T cells lacking RIPK1. Additionally, tamoxifen-induced deletion of RIPK1 in CD4-expressing cells in adult life confirmed the importance of RIPK1 in post-thymic survival of CD4+ T cells. Ripk1 K45A mice showed no change in peripheral T cell subsets, demonstrating that the T cell lymphopenia was due to the scaffold function of RIPK1 rather than to its kinase activity. Enhanced numbers of Ripk1 Delta CD4 naive T cells expressed the proliferation marker Ki-67+ despite the peripheral lymphopenia and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed T cell-specific transcriptomic alterations that were reverted by additional caspase-8 deficiency. Furthermore, Ripk1 Delta CD4 Casp8 Delta CD4 and Ripk1 Delta CD4 Tnfr1 -/- double-knockout mice rescued the peripheral T cell lymphopenia, revealing that RIPK1-deficient naive CD4+ and CD8+ cells and FoxP3+ regulatory T cells specifically die from TNF- and caspase-8-mediated apoptosis in vivo. Altogether, our findings emphasize the essential role of RIPK1 as a scaffold in maintaining the peripheral T cell compartment and preventing TNFR1-induced apoptosis.
