Sepsis reduces the number and function of memory CD8 T cells within the host, contributing to the long-lasting state of immunoparalysis. Interestingly, the relative susceptibility of memory CD8 T cell subsets to quantitative/qualitative changes differ after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis. Compared with circulatory memory CD8 T cells (T CIRCM ), moderate sepsis (0-10% mortality) does not result in numerical decline of CD8 tissue-resident memory T cells (T RM ), which retain their "sensing and alarm" IFN-γ-mediated effector function. To interrogate this biologically important dichotomy, vaccinia virus-immune C57BL/6 (B6) mice containing CD8 T CIRCM and skin T RM underwent moderate or severe (∼50% mortality) sepsis. Severe sepsis led to increased morbidity and mortality characterized by increased inflammation compared with moderate CLP or sham controls. Severe CLP mice also displayed increased vascular permeability in the ears. Interestingly, skin CD103 + CD8 T RM , detected by i.v. exclusion or two-photon microscopy, underwent apoptosis and subsequent numerical loss following severe sepsis, which was not observed in mice that experienced moderate CLP or sham surgeries. Consequently, severe septic mice showed diminished CD8 T cell-mediated protection to localized skin reinfection. Finally, the relationship between severity of sepsis and demise in circulatory versus tissue-embedded memory CD8 T cell populations was confirmed by examining tumor-infiltrating and nonspecific CD8 T cells in B16 melanoma tumors. Thus, sepsis can differentially affect the presence and function of Ag-specific CD8 T cells that reside inside tissues/tumors depending on the severity of the insult, a notion with direct relevance to sepsis survivors and their ability to mount protective memory CD8 T cell-dependent responses to localized Ag re-encounter.
