Figure 1 Type I IFN Signaling Drives Intrahepatic CD8+ T Cell Activation and Further Metabolic Deterioration in Obesity Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) induces CD8+ T cell expansion and activation, resulting in an increased CD8+/CD4+ ratio in liver, through type I interferon signaling. Ghazarian et al. propose an intestinal dysbiosis-liver-intrahepatic CD8+ T cell axis, which contributes to metaflammatory signaling and further disruption of insulin action in liver and impaired glucose metabolism.
