Project description:T cell rejuvenation by PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, despite emerging as a highly promising therapy for advanced cancers, is only beneficial for a minority of treated patients. There is evidence that a lack of efficient T cell activation may be responsible for the failure. Here, we demonstrate that IL-21 can be targeted to tumor-reactive T cells by fusion of IL-21 to anti-PD-1 antibody. To our surprise, the fusion protein PD-1Ab21 promoted the generation of TSCM-like CD8+ T cells with enhanced cell proliferation. A transcriptome analysis of isolated TN, activated and PD-1Ab-cultured CD44highCD62Lhigh T cells, IL-2-generated TE/TEM, IL-15-generated TCM as well as PD-1Ab21 and IL-21-generated CD44lowCD62Lhigh T cells provides corroborating evidence that PD-1Ab21 induces conversion of activated CD8+ T cells back to a memory subset that is distinct from TCM cells, but similar to TSCM. PD-1Ab21 treatment showed potent antitumor effects in established tumor-bearing mice accompanied with an increased frequency of TSCM and robust expansion of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells with a memory phenotype, and was superior to a combination of PD-1 blockade and IL-21 infusion. Therefore, we have developed a potential strategy to improve the therapeutic effects of immune checkpoint blockade by simultaneously targeting cytokines to tumor-reactive T cells.

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with
advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8
T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Project description:Memory T cells are heterogeneous in terms of their phenotype and functional properties. We investigated the molecular profiles of human CD8 naïve (TN), central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM), and effector memory RA (TEMRA) T cells using gene expression microarrays and phospho-protein-specific intracellular flow cytometry. We demonstrate that TCM have a gene expression and cytokine signaling signature that lies between that of TN and TEM or TEMRA cells, whereas TEM and TEMRA are closely related. Our data define the molecular basis for the different functional properties of central and effector memory subsets. We show that TEM and TEMRA cells strongly express genes with known importance in CD8 T cell effector function. In contrast, TCM are characterized by high basal and cytokine-induced STAT5 phosphorylation, reflecting their capacity for self-renewal. Altogether, our results distinguish TCM and TEM/TEMRA at the molecular level and are consistent with the concept that TCM represent memory stem cells.

Project description:T cell dysfunction is an important feature of many chronic viral infections. In particular, it was shown that PD-1 regulates T cell dysfunction during chronic LCMV infection in mice and PD-1 high cells exhibit an intense exhausted gene signature. These findings were extended to human chronic infections such as HIV, HCV and HBV. However, it is not known if PD-1 high cells of healthy humans have the traits of exhausted cells. In this study, we provide a comprehensive description of phenotype, function and gene expression profiles of PD-1 high versus PD-1 low CD8 T cells in the peripheral blood of healthy human adults as following: 1) The percentage of naive and memory CD8 T cells varied widely in the peripheral blood cells of healthy humans and PD-1 was expressed by the memory CD8 T cells. 2) PD-1 high CD8 T cells in healthy humans did not significantly correlated with the PD-1 high exhausted gene signature of HIV specific human CD8 T cells or chronic LCMV specific CD8 T cells from mice. 3) PD-1 expression did not directly affect the ability of CD8 T cells to secrete cytokines in healthy adults. 4) PD-1 was expressed by the effector memory (TEM) compared to ‘terminally differentiated effector’ (TEMRA) CD8 T cells. 5) Finally, an interesting inverse relationship between CD45RA and PD-1 expression was observed. We used highly purified PD-1 high and PD-1 low from six healthy adult individuals and naive CD8 T cell populations from four of those individuals for gene expression studies

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of CD8 Tcm cells comparing untreated control cells to 16 hour norepinephrine treated cells. The goal was to examine the impact of norepinephrine treatment on CD8 Tcm cell global gene expression compared to untreated cells, and also to examine changes that occurred in resting cells and activated cells 24 and 72 hours after stimulation with CD3/28 beads. Two-conditional experiment: Control vs. NE treated CD8 Tcm cells. Biological replicates: 3 replicates for 0 hour and 24 hours, and 2 replicates for 72 hours. Each sample consisted of pooled RNA from 3 different donors.

Project description:Here, we reported a novel subset of CD8+ T effectors with transcriptional similarity to central memory CD8+ T cells (Tcm). Such CD8+ T effectors were characterized with abundant surface expression of both Cxcr3 and CD62L and possessed strong stemness. These CD8+ T effectors mainly developed into Tcm in adoptive transfer and exclusively possessed the capacity to generate Tcm in antigen re-stimulation, indicating they functioned to be Tcm precursors. These Cxcr3+CD62L+ Tcm precursors were determined by high expression of T cell transcription factor 1 (TCF-1), which guaranteed CD62L expression by binding to distal enhancers of Sell (gene symbol for CD62L). Cxcr3+CD62L+ Tcm precursors could be massively obtained by expansion of anti-CD3/28 activated CD8+ T cells with low IL-2 plus IL-7, and these in vitro-expanded Cxcr3+CD62L+ Tcm precursors exhibited strong effective in tumor elimination and were better than conventional high IL-2 expanded-CD8+ T effectors for clearance of tumors.

Project description:The aim was to assess miRNA expression in 3 human ex-vivo CD8+ T cell subsets which span from antigen inexperienced cells (NaM-CM-/ve) to early memory cells (central memory, Tcm) and later stage memory cells (effector memory, Tem) CD8+ T cells were sorted on a FACS Aria II machine. N = naM-CM-/ve = CD8+, CCR7+, CD45RA+, CD45RO-, Tcm = central memory = CD8+, CCR7+, CD45RA-, CD45RO-,Tem= effector memory = CD8+, CCR7-, CD45RA-, CD45RO+ PBMC were isolated from 3 healthy human donors and sorted by FACS into 3 CD8+ T cell subsets. Total RNA was purified using the miRVANA kit (Ambion)

Project description:The RNA-binding protein DDX5 is a polyfunctional regulator of gene expression, but its role in CD8+ T cell biology has not been extensively investigated. In this study, we demonstrate that deletion of DDX5 reduced differentiation of terminal effector (TE), effector memory (TEM), and terminal effector memory (t-TEM) cells while increasing the generation of central memory (TCM) cells; forced expression of DDX5 elicited the opposite phenotype. DDX5-deficient CD8+ T cells exhibited increased expression of genes that promote TCM cell differentiation, including Tcf7 and Eomes. Together, these findings reveal a role for DDX5 in regulating the differentiation of effector and memory CD8+ T cell subsets in response to microbial infection.

Project description:Neuroinflammation in the brain contributes to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the potential dysregulation of peripheral immunity has not been systematically investigated for idiopathic PD (iPD). Here we showed an elevated peripheral cytotoxic immune milieu, with more terminally-differentiated effector memory (TEMRA) CD8 T, CD8+ NKT cells and circulating cytotoxic molecules in fresh blood of early-to-mid iPD, especially in females, after analyzing >700 innate and adaptive features. This profile, also reflected by fewer CD8+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells, was confirmed in another subcohort. Co-expression between cytotoxic molecules was selectively enhanced in CD8 TEMRA and effector memory (TEM) cells. Single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis demonstrated the accelerated CD8 differentiation within CD8 compartments, enhanced cytotoxic pathways in CD8 TEMRA and TEM cells, while CD8 central-memory (TCM) and naïve cells were already more-active and transcriptionally-reprogrammed. Our work provides a comprehensive map of dysregulated peripheral immunity in iPD, proposing previously-unrecognized candidates for early diagnosis and treatments.

Project description:Adoptive immunotherapy using ex vivo expanded tumor reactive lymphocytes can mediate durable cancer regression in selected melanoma patients. Analyses of these trials have associated the in vivo engraftment ability of the transferred cells with their anti-tumor efficacy. Thus, there is significant clinical interest in the prospective isolation of tumor specific T cells that can reliably persist after transfer. Animal studies have suggested that central memory CD8+ T cells (TCM) have divergent capabilities including effector differentiation to target antigen and stem cell-like self renewal that enable long term survival after adoptive transfer. In this study, we sought to isolate human melanoma specific TCM to define their in vivo fate and function after autologous therapeutic transfer to metastatic patients. To facilitate the high throughput identification of these rare cells from patients, we report that TCM have a defined stoichiometric production of IL-2 and IFN-g mRNA after antigen stimulation. Melanoma specific T cells screened for high relative IL-2 production possessed a TCM phenotype and superior in vitro proliferative capacity compared to cells with low IL-2 production. To investigate in vivo effector function and self renewal capability, melanoma specific TCM underwent in vitro expansion and differentiation into lytic effector clones and then were adoptively transferred back into their hosts. These clones targeted skin melanocytes in all five patients and persisted long term and reacquired parental TCM attributes in four patients after transfer. These findings demonstrate the favorable engraftment fitness for human TCM-derived clones, but further efforts to improve their anti-tumor efficacy are still necessary. We used microarrays to compare the resting gene expression profile of melanoma specific CD8+ T cell clones that were derived from either High IL-2:IFN index precursors or Low IL-2:IFN index precursors. Three melanoma specific effector clones were derived from parental cells that possessed a high IL-2:IFN index from three independent patients with metastatic melanoma. Two melanoma specific effector clones were derived from parental cells that possessed a low IL-2:IFN index from two independent patients with metastatic melanoma. We used microarrays to compare the resting gene expression profile of the CD8+ T cell clones that were derived from either high IL-2:IFN index precursors or low IL-2:IFN index precursors.
