Project description:In chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), immune cells persisting behind the blood-brain barrier are supposed to promulgate local tissue destruction. The drivers of such compartmentalized inflammation remain unclear, but tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) represent a potentially important cellular player in this process

Project description:Acquisition of effector properties is a key step in the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Here we show that inflammatory signals regulate Dicer expression in CTL, and that deletion or depletion of Dicer in mouse or human activated CD8+ T cells causes upregulation of perforin, granzyme and effector cytokines. Genome-wide analysis of miRNA changes induced by exposure of differentiating CTLs to IL-2 and inflammatory signals identifies miR-139 and miR-150 as components of a miRNA network that controls perforin, eomesodermin (Eomes) and IL-2Ra expression in differentiating CTLs and whose activity is modulated by IL-2, inflammation and antigenic stimulation. Overall our data show that strong IL-2R and inflammatory signals act through Dicer and miRNAs to control the cytolytic program and other aspects of effector CTL differentiation. Comparison of control and Dicer knock-out CTLs differentiated in vitro; Comparison of wild type CTLs differentiated in vitro with or without inflammatory stimuli; Comparison of effector and memory precursor CTLs isolated from mice infected with LCMV-Armstrong

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional exhausted T cells, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD8+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted using MHC-I tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD8+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. Exhuasted CD8+ T cells can be further segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1. We performed transcriptional profiling on both PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells. H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted from C57BL/6 mice 30 days p.i. with LCMV clone 13. These cells were then segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1 into PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate subpopulations. We performed transcriptional profiling on these subpopulations.

Project description:Innate memory phenotype (IMP) CD8+ T cells are non-conventional αβ T cells exhibiting features of innate immune cells, and are significantly increased in the absence of non-receptor tyrosine kinase ITK. Their developmental path and function are not clear, particularly whether they can contribute to antigen specific responses. We found that WT bone marrow gives rise to IMP CD8+ T cells in irradiated MHCI-/- recipients, resembling those in Itk-/- mice determined by expression of surface markers. However, CD8+ T cells share similar expression of memory markers. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression to determine whether the CD8+ T cells selected by hematopoietic MHCI are IMP CD8+ T cells as observed in the absence of ITK, or the result of homeostatic expansion of T cell contamination in the donor bone marrow. Through analysis of global gene expression correlation and differential expression, we determined that hematopoietic MHCI dependent IMP CD8+ T cells generated in irradiated MHCI-/- recipients, resemble those in Itk-/- mice, but distinct from CD8+ T cells derived via homeostatic proliferation. Cell sorting was performed using a FACSAria Cell Sorter (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA). IMP CD8+ T cells (TCRβ+CD8α+CD44hi) were sorted from splenocytes of WT→MHCI-/- chimeras 8 weeks post transplantation and 8-week old Itk-/- mice. To generate HP cells, naïve CD8+ T cells (TCRβ+CD8α+CD44lo) were sorted and injected into Rag1-/- recipients (0.5 million /mouse, retro-orbital injection), followed by sorting of TCRβ+CD8α+ splenocytes 8 weeks post adoptive transfer. We sought to compare cells with the same gender and age, thus all donors were female, and ages (absolute age for Itk null and age post transfer for chimeras and HP model) were 8 weeks.

Project description:Immune memory cells are poised to rapidly expand and elaborate effector functions upon reinfection. However, despite heightened readiness to respond, memory cells exist in a functionally quiescent state. The paradigm is that memory cells remain inactive due to lack of TCR stimuli. Here we report a unique role of Tregs in orchestrating memory quiescence by inhibiting effector and proliferation programs through CTLA-4. Loss of Tregs resulted in activation of genome-wide transcriptional programs characteristic of potent effectors, and both developing and established memory quickly reverted to a terminally differentiated (KLRG-1hi/IL-7R±lo/GzmBhi) phenotype, with compromised metabolic fitness, longevity, polyfunctionality and protective efficacy. CTLA-4, an inhibitory receptor overexpressed on Tregs, functionally replaced Tregs in trans to rescue Treg-less memory defects and restore homeostasis of secondary mediators as well. These studies present CD28-CTLA-4-CD80/CD86 axis as a novel target to potentially accelerate vaccine-induced immunity and improve T-cell memory quality in current cancer immunotherapies proposing transient Treg-depletion. We used microarray analysis to detail the global programming of gene expression in LCMV GP33-specific CD8 T cells differentiated in the presence or absence of regulatory T cells Differentiation of memory CD8 T cells entails a progressive transition of highly activated effector program to a quiescent memory program. A key question in the field is to understand the factors that aid in the differentiation of memory cells from effector cells. It is a generally accepted paradigm that effector cells transition to a memory state by default after antigen clearance, since TCR stimuli is the key driver of effector programs in CD8 T cells. We hypothesized that the effector to memory transition of CD8 T cells involves active immunological brakes through regulatory T cells (Tregs) that allow the highly activated effector cells to convert into quiescent memory cells. To address this hypothesis, we used FoxP3-DTR mice to deplete Tregs during the window following antigen clearance, during which the effector CD8 T cells convert to long-lived memory cells. To get a deeper understanding of the global transcriptome of CD8 T cells as they transition from an effector to a memory state, we isolated and arrayed the antigen-specific CD8 T cells at day 16 post-infection that have experienced the transitional environment with and without the presence of Tregs.

Project description:The activation of TLR-MyD88 (Toll like receptor- Myeloid differentiation factor 88) signaling within T cells functions as a potent costimulatory signal that boosts antitumor and antiviral responses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the costimulatory processes are poorly understood. We compared microarray gene analysis data between TLR1-TLR2 stimulated and unstimulated T cell receptor transgenic âpmelâ and MyD88-/-pmel CD8+ T cells and identified changes in the expression levels of several TNF family members. In particular, TLR-stimulation increased 4-1BB levels in pmel but not in MyD88-/-pmel T cells. A link between 4-1BB and TLR1-TLR2 signaling in CD8+ T cells was highlighted by in fact that 4-1BB-/- T cells exhibited suboptimal responses to TLR1-TLR2 agonist, but responded normally to CD28 or OX40 costimulation. Moreover, blocking 4-1BB signaling with antibodies also hindered the costimulatory effects of the TLR1-TLR2 agonist. The elevated levels of 4-1BB transcripts in TLR1-TLR2âstimulated cells were not due to increased mRNA stability nor increased histone activation but instead were associated with increased binding of p65 and c-Jun to two distinct 4-1BB promoter sites. Combining TLR1-TLR2 ligand with an agonistic anti-4-1BB antibody enhanced the antitumor activity in mice with established melanoma tumors. These studies reveal that the costimulatory effects of TLR1-TLR2 signaling in CD8+ T cells are in part mediated by 4-1BB and are important for mounting an effective antitumor immune response. CD8+ T cells from the B6.Cg-Thy1/Cy Tg(TcraTcrb)8Rest/J mice, referred to as âpmelâ T cells or from MyD88 knockout pmel mice (MyD88â/âpmel) were sorted. pmel and MyD88â/âpmel T cells were activated using MyD88â/â CD8 T cell-depleted splenocytes pulsed with 10ng/ml of mgp100. This was with or without 10µg/ml of Pam3CSK4. pmel or MyD88â/âpmel CD8 T cells were enriched and used for the extraction of RNA used for genomic analysis.

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are an abundant population of tissue-resident T cells that protect the gut from pathogens and maintain intestinal homeostasis. The cytokine IL-15 is trans-presented by epithelial cells to IEL in complex with the IL-15 receptor α chain (IL-15Rα) and plays essential roles both in maintaining IEL homeostasis, and in inducing IEL activation in response to epithelial stress. When overproduced, IL-15 is a key driver of the gluten-induced enteropathy Coeliac disease, through cytotoxic activation of IEL. To better understand how IL-15 directly regulates both homeostatic and inflammatory functions of IEL, we performed quantitative proteomics of IL-15/Rα-stimulated murine IEL, sorted into their 3 main subpopulations, TCRγδ CD8αα, TCRαβ CD8αβ and TCRαβ CD8αα expressing IEL. The data reveal that high IL-15/Rα stimulation licenses cell cycle activation, upregulates the biosynthetic machinery in IEL, increases mitochondrial respiratory capacity and induces expression of cell surface immune receptors and adhesion proteins that potentially drive IEL activation.

Project description:Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells can effectively kill target cells by producing cytokines, chemokines and granzymes. Expression of these effector molecules is however highly divergent, and tools that identify and pre-select potent killer cells are lacking. Human CD8+ T cells can be divided into IFNGand IL-2 producing cells. Unbiased RNA-sequencing and proteomics analysis on cytokine-producing fixed CD8+ T cells revealed that IL-2+ T cells produce helper cytokines, and that IFNG+ T cells produce cytotoxic molecules. IFNG+ cytotoxic T cells expressed the surface marker CD29 already prior to stimulation. CD29 also marked T cells with cytotoxic gene expression from different tissues in single-cell RNA-sequencing data. Notably, the cytotoxic features of CD29+ T cells were maintained during cell culture, suggesting a stable phenotype. Pre-selecting CD29-expressing MART1 TCR-engineered T cells potentiated the killing of target cells. We therefore propose that selecting for CD29+ T cells could boost the anti-tumoral activity of T cell therapeutics.
