Project description:Glucose is essential for T cell proliferation and function, yet the metabolic fates of glucose critical for T cell responses in vivo remain poorly defined. Here, we identify glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis as an essential arm of glucose metabolism that fuels CD8+ T cell expansion and cytotoxic function in vivo. Using stable isotope tracing, we show that CD8+ effector T (Teff) cells in vivo use glucose to synthesize uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc), a common precursor for glycogen, glycan, and GSL biosynthesis. Blocking GSL production–by targeting the enzymes UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) or UDP-Glc ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG)–blunts CD8+ T cell expansion and cytotoxic activity without impacting glucose-dependent energy production. Mechanistically, we show that glucose-dependent GSL biosynthesis (via UGCG) maintains lipid integrity at the plasma membrane and is required for lipid raft aggregation following T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. CD8+ T cells lacking UGCG display poor cytotoxic function and reduced tumor control in vivo. Together, our data highlight GSL biosynthesis as an essential metabolic fate for glucose–independent of energy production–required to maintain membrane lipid homeostasis and CD8+ T cell cytotoxic function in vivo.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to induce the conversion of activated T-cells into regulatory T-cells in vitro. The marker CD69 is a target of canonical NF-κB signaling and is transiently expressed upon activation; however, stable CD69 expression defines cells with immunoregulatory properties. Given its enormous therapeutic potential, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of regulatory cells by MSCs. Peripheral blood CD3+ T-cells were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. CD4+ cell mRNA expression was then characterized by microarray analysis. The drug BAY11-7082 and a siRNA against RELB were used to explore the differential roles of canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling, respectively. Flow cytometry and real-time PCR were used for analyses. Genes with immunoregulatory functions, CD69 and non-canonical NF-κB subunits (RELB and NFKB2) were all expressed at higher levels in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. The frequency of CD69+ cells among lymphocytes cultured alone progressively decreased after activation. In contrast, the frequency of CD69+ cells increased significantly following activation in lymphocytes co-cultured with MSCs. Inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling by BAY immediately following activation blocked the induction of CD69; however, inhibition of canonical NF-κB signaling on the 3rd day further induced the expression of CD69. Furthermore, late expression of CD69 was inhibited by RELB siRNA. These results indicate that the canonical NF-κB pathway controls the early expression of CD69 after activation; however, in an immunoregulatory context, late and sustained CD69 expression is promoted by the non-canonical pathway and is inhibited by canonical NF-κB signaling. In order to study the molecular basis by which Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) exert their immune regulatory function, immunomagnetically purified CD3+ T-cells from the peripheral blood of 3 individuals were activated and cultured in the presence or absence of MSCs. Following 5 days, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were further immunomagnetically selected and their gene expression profiles were obtained by microarrays and compared. Paired samples from 3 individuals were used for this analysis.

Project description:Wnt signal transduction during an immune response is involved in the establishment of functional CD8 T cell memory P14 ConductinLacZ CD8 T cells (CD45.2) were transferred in CD45.1+.2+ recipient mice. The day after, recipients were infected with 200pfu LCMV WE. At day 8 after infection, cells from spleen and lymph nodes were harvested, magnetically enriched for CD8 T cells, loaded with the beta-galactosidase substrate (FDG) and sorted as 7AAD-negative CD45.- negative, beta-galactosidase positive versus negative cells. P14 CD8 T cells were sorted at day 8 after LCMV infection according to LacZ activity for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

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:Lysine or histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl groups from lysine residues of numerous proteins, thereby regulating their function, activity and localization. Putative HDAC6 substrate sites, uncovered in the acetylome of HDAC6 knockdown cells, served as basis for the design of an HDAC6-trapping peptide library containing hydroxamic acids. Most probes enriched HDAC6 stronger from cell lysates than HDAC1. Probe sequences derived from α-tubulin, CRTC3, HSP90 and PPIA were confirmed as HDAC6 substrates and proteomics profiling of the corresponding trapping probes revealed preferential enrichment of HDAC6 together with known and previously unknown binding proteins. These included proteins of the NF-κB signaling complex which were independently confirmed as HDAC6 binders. NF-κB protein p50 was deacetylated by HDAC6 counteracting enhanced transcription of NF-κB target genes induced by p50 acetylation. These findings indicate a potential anti-inflammatory function of HDAC6 in NF-κB signaling.

Project description:Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) are critical for anti-tumor immunity. They acquire antigens from dying tumor cells and cross-present them to CD8+ T cells, promoting the expansion of tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells. However, the signaling pathways that govern the anti -tumor functions of cDC1s are poorly understood. We mapped the molecular pathways regulating intratumoral cDC1 maturation using single cell RNA sequencing. We identified NF κB and IFN pathways as being highly enriched in a subset of functionally mature cDC1s. The specific targeting of NF-κB or IFN pathways in cDC1s prevented the recruitment and activation of CD8+ T cells and the control of tumor growth. We identified an NF-κB-dependent IFN-γ-regulated gene network in cDC1s, including cytokines and chemokines specialized in the recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T cells. We used single cell transcriptomes to map the trajectory of intra-tumoral cDC1 maturation which revealed the dynamic reprogramming of tumor-infiltrating cDC1s by NF-κB and IFN signaling pathways. This maturation process was perturbed by specific inactivation of either NF-κB or IRF1 in cDC1s, resulting in impaired expression of IFN-γ-responsive genes and consequently a failure to efficiently recruit and activate anti-tumoral CD8+ T cells. Finally, we demonstrate the relevance of these findings to cancer patients, showing that activation of the NF-κB/IRF1 axis in association with cDC1s is linked with improved clinical outcome. The NF-κB/IRF1 axis in cDC1s may therefore represent an important focal point for the development new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve cancer immunotherapy.

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.

Project description:Pseudogenes are thought to be inactive gene sequences, but recent evidence of extensive pseudogene transcription raised the question of potential function. Here we discover and characterize the sets of lncRNAs induced by inflammatory signaling via TNFα. TNFα regulates hundreds of lncRNAs, including 54 pseudogene lncRNAs, several of which show exquisitely selective expression in response to specific cytokines and microbial components in a NF-κB-dependent manner. Lethe, a pseudogene lncRNA, is selectively induced by proinflammatory cytokines via NF-κB or glucocorticoid receptor agonist, and functions in negative feedback signaling to NF-κB. Lethe interacts with NF-κB subunit RelA to inhibit RelA DNA binding and target gene activation. Lethe level decreases with organismal age, a physiological state associated with increased NF-κB activity. These findings suggest that expression of pseudogenes lncRNAs are actively regulated and constitute functional regulators of inflammatory signaling. RNA profiles of wild type (WT) MEFs treated with TNF-alpha were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Examination of H3K4me3 histome modification in MEF.

Project description:Non-consensus binding sites of transcription factors are often observed within the promoters and enhancers of various genes; however, their effect on transcriptional strength is unclear. Within the promoters and enhancers of NF-κB-responsive genes, we identified clusters of non- consensus κB DNA sites, many exhibiting low affinity for NF-κB in vitro. Deletion of these sites demonstrated their collective critical role in transcription. We explored how these “weak” κB sites exert their influence, especially given the typically low nuclear concentration of NF-κB. Using proteomics approaches, we identified additional nuclear factors, including other DNA-binding TFs, that could interact with κB site-bound NF-κB RelA without their direct interaction to DNA. ChIP- seq and RNA-seq analyses suggest that these accessory TFs, referred to as the TF-cofactors of NF-κB, facilitate dynamic recruitment of NF-κB to the clustered κB sites. Overall, the occupancy of NF-κB at promoters and enhancers appears to be defined by a collective contribution from all κB sites, both weak and strong, in association with specific cofactors. This congregation of multiple factors within dynamic transcriptional complexes is likely a common feature of transcriptional programs.
