Figure Legend Snippet: CD8 + T cytotoxic cells are the predominant subset within the T and NK cell compartment in the colon of chronically infected mice (A) Uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) plot showing nine T and NK cell subclusters. Each point represents a single cell. (B) Bar graph depicts the relative percentages of each cell subtype in naive and infected mice. (C) Representative flow cytometry plots of CD8 + T cells in naive (left) and infected mice (right). Cells were gated on live, singlets, CD3 + cells. (D) Violin plot shows the percentage of CD8 + T cells in naive and infected mice. (E) Representative flow cytometry plots of T follicular helper cells in naive (left) and infected mice (right). Cells were gated on live, singlets, CD3 + CD4 + cells. (F) Violin plot shows the percentage of PD-1 + CXCR4 + T follicular helper cells in naive and chronically infected mice. Data are representative of two independent experiments with a total of 6 (in D) or 4 (in F) mice per group. In (D and F), violin plots show the distribution of values for each group. Individual points represent biological replicates. Large dashed horizontal lines indicate the median. Statistical significance was determined by an unpaired t test. ∗∗∗: p < 0.001; ns: not significant.

Figure Legend Snippet: CD8 + cytotoxic T cells contribute as central mediators within the CCL signaling network (A) Violin plots show the distribution and density of CCL5 (left) and CCR5 (right) expression across T and NK cell subsets, as well as macrophages, in the colon of naive and chronically infected mice. Wider sections of the violin indicate a higher proportion of cells expressing CCL5 or CCR5 at that level. Data were generated from CellChat-guided analysis of scRNA-seq profiles. (B) Representative flow cytometry plots show CD8 + CCR5 + T cells in the colon of naive (upper panel) and chronically infected mice (bottom panel). Cells were gated on live, singlets, and CD3 + cells. (C) Representative flow cytometry plots show F4/80 + CCR5 + T cells in naive (upper panel) and chronically infected mice (bottom panel). Cells were gated on live, singlets, and CD45 + cells. (D) Violin plot shows the frequency of CD8 + CCR5 + T cells in naive and chronically infected mice. Data are representative of two independent experiments ( n = 4 mice per group). (E) mRNA quantification of Ccl5 and Ccr5 by qRT-PCR in naive and chronically infected mice. The plot shows log 2 fold changes (FC) in gene expression determined by the ΔC t method with normalization to GAPDH. The horizontal line indicates the median value for each group, with individual data points plotted. CD8 + T cells were purified from the lamina propria of naive and chronically infected mice using magnetic bead–based separation prior to RNA extraction. Data are from three independent experiments. (F) Violin plot shows the frequency of F4/80 + CCR5 + T cells in the colon of naive and chronically infected mice. Data are representative of two independent experiments ( n = 3 mice per group). In (D and F), violin plots show the distribution of values for each group. Individual points represent biological replicates. Large dashed horizontal lines indicate the median. Statistical significance was determined by an unpaired t test. ∗∗: p < 0.01; ns: not significant.

Figure Legend Snippet: CD8 + cytotoxic T cell–macrophage interactions likely shape colonic immune homeostasis during chronic T. cruzi infection (A) Volcano plot showing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in lamina propria CD8 + cytotoxic T cells from infected mice compared with naive controls. Red dots depict upregulated genes, blue dots indicate downregulated genes, and gray dots represent genes with a non-significant change in expression. Genes with log 2 fold change ≥1.5, and p < 0.05 were considered significant. (B) Top five differentially regulated canonical pathways in lamina propria CD8 + cytotoxic T cells from infected mice, as predicted by ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). Bars represent −log ( p value); red indicates pathway activation and blue indicates pathway inhibition. (C) Top 10 upregulated genes associated with the IL-4/IL-13 signaling pathway (left) and the pathogen-induced cytokine storm (PICS) pathway (right) in CD8 + cytotoxic T cells. (D) Volcano plot of DEGs in lamina propria macrophages from infected mice compared with naive controls, displayed as in (A). (E) Top five differentially regulated canonical pathways in lamina propria macrophages from infected mice, as predicted by IPA, displayed as in (B). (F) Top 10 upregulated genes associated with the S100 protein family signaling pathway (left) and the neutrophil degranulation pathway (right) in macrophages. In (C and F), bars indicate log 2 fold change between infected and naive mice.

Figure Legend Snippet: Proposed model of the immune response mechanisms to Trypanosoma cruzi in the mouse colon, integrating our findings with prior studies ① Infected smooth muscle cells release trypomastigotes into the surrounding colonic tissue. ② Trypomastigotes are phagocytosed by macrophages. ③ After 18–24 hs post-internalization, amastigotes are released into the cytoplasm, where they replicate and synthesize proteins that are presented on the macrophage surface. ④ CD8 + and CD4 + T cells recognize T. cruzi peptides presented by MHC complexes. ⑤ Upon activation, CD8 + T cells secrete granzyme A and multiple cytokines. ⑥ Granzyme A -containing granules may enter parasite-infected smooth muscle cells through pores formed by perforin-1 (PRF1; secreted by NK cells), contributing to cell death. ⑦ Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may promote macrophage polarization to an M1 phenotype by inducing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2). This enzyme subsequently oxidizes arginine to produce nitric oxide, which may contribute to parasite killing. ⑧ Activated CD4 + T cells can differentiate into Th and Tfh cells that produce Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Interleukin-13 (IL-13) [⑨], which in turn induce M2 macrophage polarization. ⑩ C-C Motif Ligand 5 (CCL5) could further support M2 macrophage polarization via arginase I (ARG1) upregulation, promoting polyamines associated with parasite multiplication and persistence. ⑪ Amastigotes differentiate into trypomastigotes, completing the cycle by infecting naive smooth muscle cells.
