Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant in humans and recognize conserved bacterial antigens derived from riboflavin precursors, presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like molecule MR1. Here, we show via transcriptomic analysis that human MAIT cells are remarkably oligoclonal in both blood and liver, display high inter-individual homology, and exhibit a restricted length CDR3β domain of the TCRVβ chain. We extend this analysis to a second sub-population of MAIT cells expressing a semi-invariant TCR conserved between individuals.

Project description:Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize microbial-derived riboflavin metabolites presented by the evolutionarily conserved MR1 molecule. Their persistent loss in chronic HIV-1 infection is a significant insult to antimicrobial immune defenses. Here we explore MAIT cell dynamics in the critical acute stages of HIV-1 infection for the first time

Project description:Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional innate-like T cells that recognize microbial riboflavin metabolites presented by the MHC class I-like protein MR1. Human MAIT cells predominantly express the CD8α co-receptor (CD8+), with a smaller subset lacking both CD4 and CD8 (DN). However, it is unclear if these two MAIT cell sub-populations distinguished by CD8α represent functionally distinct subsets. To address this, we investigated the phenotypic, transcriptional, and functional differences between CD8+ and DN MAIT cells using human samples from peripheral blood, mucosal tissues, and fetal tissues.

Project description:Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize the riboflavin pathway-derived metabolite 5-(2-oxopropylideneamino)-6-d-ribitylaminouracil (5-OP-RU) presented by the MHC-Ib molecule MR1. Both MR1 and the T cell receptor genes used by MAIT cells are under strong evolutionary pressure in mammals, suggesting an important role of 5-OP-RU-specific T cells across species. In humans and mice, MAIT cells acquire distinctive effector functions linked to the expression of the master transcription factor ZBTB16 (PLZF) during thymic development. Conservation of a unique differentiation program in 5-OP-RU-specific T cells from other species is unclear. Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the development of 5-OP-RU-specific T cells in 6 species spanning 110 million years of mammalian evolution. Cross-species comparative analyses revealed a conserved sequence of transcriptional events underlying the maturation of 5-OP-RU-specific thymocytes, marked by the early expression of ZBTB16 in all species. MAIT cells also co-expressed the transcription factors TBX21 (Tbet) and RORC (RORgt) in human, sheep, cattle and opossum. By contrast, Tbet and RORgt were expressed by distinct subsets of MAIT cells in the thymus of rodents, including pet mice and >30 genetically diverse mouse strains, dismissing a laboratory mouse artifact. In mice, RORgt+ MAIT cells further matured in the mesenteric lymph nodes and intestines to acquire a transcriptional program remarkably conserved in MAIT cells from non-rodent species and characterized by co-expression of type 1 and type 17 effector genes, but also genes associated with cytotoxicity and tissue repair. Thus, we define a deeply conserved transcriptional program for 5-OP-RU-specific T cells, which may help understand their functions.
