Description Chronic infections result in T-cell exhaustion, a state of functional unresponsiveness. To control the infection, it is important to salvage the exhausted T cells. In this study, we delivered signals through Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) to reinvigorate functionality in chronically activated T-helper type 1 (Th1) cells. This process significantly augmented the expression of T-bet, interferon γ, interleukin 2, and the antiapoptotic molecule Bcl-2, whereas it dampened the display of the exhaustion markers programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (Lag-3). Additionally, TLR-2 signaling bolstered the ability of chronically stimulated Th1 cells to activate B cells. Finally, the results were substantiated by observing reduced lung pathology upon administration of TLR-2 agonist in the chronic infection model of tuberculosis. These data demonstrated the importance of TLR-2 in rescuing chronically activated Th1 cells from undergoing exhaustion. This study will pave a way for targeting TLR-2 in developing therapeutic strategies to treat chronic diseases involving loss of Th1 cell function.
