Involvement of CD8+ T cell subsets in early response to vascular injury in patients with peripheral artery disease in vivo.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:Adaptive immunity is critical in vascular remodelling following arterial injury. We hypothesized that acute changes in T cells at a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) site could serve as an index of their potential interaction with the injured vascular wall. METHODS AND RESULTS:T cell subsets were characterised in 45 patients with Rutherford 3-4 peripheral artery disease (PAD) undergoing PTA. Direct angioplasty catheter blood sampling was performed before and immediately after the procedure. PTA was associated with an acute reduction of ?/?-TcR CD8+ T cells. Further characterisation revealed significant reduction in pro-atherosclerotic CD28nullCD57+ T cells, effector (CD45RA+CCR7-) and effector memory (CD45RA-CCR7-) cells, in addition to cells bearing activation (CD69, CD38) and tissue homing/adhesion markers (CD38, CCR5). CONCLUSIONS:The acute reduction observed here is likely due to the adhesion of cells to the injured vascular wall, suggesting that immunosenescent, activated effector CD8+ cells have a role in the early vascular injury immune response following PTA in PAD patients.

Skewed distribution of IL-7 receptor-?-expressing effector memory CD8+ T cells with distinct functional characteristics in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:CD8(+) T cells play important roles in anti-tumor immunity but distribution profile or functional characteristics of effector memory subsets during tumor progression are unclear. We found that, in oral squamous carcinoma patients, circulating CD8(+) T cell pools skewed toward effector memory subsets with the distribution frequency of CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells and CCR7(-) CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells negatively correlated with each other. A significantly higher frequency of CD127(lo) CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells or CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells among total CD8(+) T cells was found in peripheral blood or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, but not in regional lymph nodes. The CD127(hi) CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells or CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells maintained significantly higher IFN-?, IL-2 productivity and ex vivo proliferative capacity, while the CD127(lo) CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells or CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells exhibited higher granzyme B productivity and susceptibility to activation induced cell death. A higher ratio of CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells to CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells was associated with advanced cancer staging and poor differentiation of tumor cells. Therefore, the CD127(lo) CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)CD8(+) T cells and CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells are functionally similar CD8(+) T cell subsets which exhibit late differentiated effector phenotypes and the shift of peripheral CD8(+) effector memory balance toward CCR7(-)CD45RA(+)CD8(+) T cells is associated with OSCC progression.

Immune Phenotype and Functionality of Mtb-Specific T-Cells in HIV/TB Co-Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Treatment.

Project description:The performance of host blood-based biomarkers for tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) has not been fully assessed. We evaluated the immune phenotype and functionality of antigen-specific T-cell responses in HIV positive (+) participants with TB (n = 12) compared to HIV negative (-) participants with either TB (n = 9) or latent TB infection (LTBI) (n = 9). We show that the cytokine profile of Mtb-specific CD4+ T-cells in participants with TB, regardless of HIV status, was predominantly single IFN-? or dual IFN-?/ TNF?. Whilst ESAT-6/CFP-10 responding T-cells were predominantly of an effector memory (CD27-CD45RA-CCR7-) profile, HIV-specific T-cells were mainly of a central (CD27+CD45RA-CCR7+) and transitional memory (CD27+CD45RA+/-CCR7-) phenotype on both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. Using receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, co-expression of CD38 and HLA-DR on ESAT-6/CFP-10 responding total cytokine-producing CD4+ T-cells had a high sensitivity for discriminating HIV+TB (100%, 95% CI 70-100) and HIV-TB (100%, 95% CI 70-100) from latent TB with high specificity (100%, 95% CI 68-100 for HIV-TB) at a cut-off value of 5% and 13%, respectively. TB treatment reduced the proportion of Mtb-specific total cytokine+CD38+HLA-DR+ CD4+ T-cells only in HIV-TB (p = 0.001). Our results suggest that co-expression of CD38 and HLA-DR on Mtb-specific CD4+ T-cells could serve as a TB diagnosis tool regardless of HIV status.

Expression of miRNAs in human ex-vivo CD8+ T cell subsets

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)

Heterologous vaccination against human tuberculosis modulates antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell function.

Project description:Heterologous prime-boost strategies hold promise for vaccination against tuberculosis. However, the T-cell characteristics required for protection are not known. We proposed that boost vaccines should induce long-lived functional and phenotypic changes to T cells primed by Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) and/or natural exposure to mycobacteria. We characterized changes among specific CD4(+) T cells after vaccination with the MVA85A vaccine in adults, adolescents, and children. CD4(+) T cells identified with Ag85A peptide-bearing HLA class II tetramers were characterized by flow cytometry. We also measured proliferative potential and cytokine expression of Ag85A-specific CD4(+) T cells. During the effector phase, MVA85A-induced specific CD4(+) T cells coexpressed IFN-? and IL-2, skin homing integrins, and the activation marker CD38. This was followed by contraction and a transition to predominantly IL-2-expressing, CD45RA(-) CCR7(+) CD27(+) or CD45RA(+) CCR7(+) CD27(+) specific CD4(+) T cells. These surface phenotypes were similar to Ag85A-specific T cells prior to MVA85A. However, functional differences were observed postvaccination: specific proliferative capacity was markedly higher after 6-12 months than before vaccination. Our data suggest that MVA85A vaccination may modulate Ag85A-specific CD4(+) T-cell function, resulting in greater recall potential. Importantly, surface phenotypes commonly used as proxies for memory T-cell function did not associate with functional effects of vaccination.

Increased tumor-infiltrating CD45RA-CCR7- regulatory T-cell subset with immunosuppressive properties foster gastric cancer progress.

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are major components of tumor-infiltrating immune cells with potent immunosuppressive properties in gastric cancer (GC) microenvironment. However, different subsets of the Tregs and their relevance to GC are unknown. Here, we found that patients with GC showed a significantly higher Tregs infiltration in tumors, and CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset constituted most tumor-infiltrating Tregs. Tumor-infiltrating CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset with an effector/memory phenotype accumulated in tumors and expressed low level of HLA-DR. Gastric tumor-derived TNF-? induced CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset with similar phenotype to their status in tumors and inhibited their HLA-DR expression via activating STAT3 phosphorylation. These tumor-associated CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset exerted superior immunosuppressive properties to effectively suppress CD8+ T cells' anti-tumor function including CD8+ T-cell IFN-? and granzyme B (GrB) production as well as CD8+ T-cell proliferation in vitro, and also contributed to the growth and progression of human gastric tumors in vivo, via IL-10 secretion and cell-cell contact mechanisms. Moreover, increased tumor-infiltrating CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset as well as higher intratumoral CD45RA-CCR7- Treg/CD8+ T-cell ratio was associated with advanced disease progression and reduced GC patient survival. This study therefore identifies a novel immunosuppressive pathway involving CD45RA-CCR7- Treg subset development within the GC microenvironment. Efforts to inhibit this pathway may therefore prove a valuable strategy to prevent, and to treat this immune suppressive of GC.

Induction of a virus-specific effector-memory CD4+ T cell response by attenuated SIV infection.

Project description:We investigated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-specific CD4+ T cell responses in rhesus macaques chronically infected with attenuated or pathogenic SIV strains. Analysis of SIVDeltanef-infected animals revealed a relatively high frequency of SIV-specific CD4+ T cells representing 4-10% of all CD4+ T lymphocytes directed against multiple SIV proteins. Gag-specific CD4+ T cells in wild-type SIV-infected animals were 5-10-fold lower in frequency and inversely correlated with the level of plasma viremia. SIV-specific CD4+ cells from SIVDeltanef animals were predominantly CD27-CD28-CD45RAlowCCR7-CCR5-, consistent with an effector-memory subset, and included a fully differentiated CD45RA+CCR7- subpopulation. In contrast, SIV-specific CD4+ T cells from SIV-infected animals were mostly CD27+CD28+CD45RA-CCR7+CCR5+, consistent with an early central memory phenotype. The CD45RA+CCR7-CD4+ subset from SIVDeltanef animals was highly enriched for effector CD4+ T cells, as indicated by the perforin expression and up-regulation of the lysosomal membrane protein CD107a after SIV Gag stimulation. SIV-specific CD4+ T cells in attenuated SIV-infected animals were increased in frequency in bronchioalveolar lavage and decreased in lymph nodes, consistent with an effector-memory T cell population. The ability of SIVDeltanef to induce a high frequency virus-specific CD4+ T cell response with direct effector function may play a key role in protective immunity produced by vaccination with attenuated SIV strains.

Human peripheral blood CD4+ T cell subsets

Project description:Cells were isolated from healthy human donors (n=2). Unstimulated cells. Cells were stained with CD4, CD45RA, CCR7 and CXCR7. Using flow cytometry, 4 CD4+ T cell populations were sorted: (1) Naïve (CD45RA+CCR7+CXCR5-), (2) Central memory (CD45RA-CCR7+CXCR5-), (3) Effector memory (CD45RA-CCR7-CXCR5-) and (4) CXCR5+ cells (CD45RA-CCR7-CXCR5+) RNA were extracted from sorted cells and hybridized on Affymetix HU133Plus2 chips. Each population were repeated on different donors such that n=2.

Dengue-specific CD8+ T cell subsets display specialized transcriptomic and TCR profiles.

Project description:Accumulating evidence demonstrates that CD8+ T cells contribute to protection from severe dengue virus (DENV) disease and vaccine efficacy. Nevertheless, molecular programs associated with DENV-specific CD8+ T cell subsets have not been defined. Here, we studied the transcriptomic profiles of human DENV-specific CD8+ T cells isolated after stimulation with DENV epitopes from donors who had been infected with DENV multiple times and would therefore be expected to have significant levels of adaptive immunity. We found that DENV-specific CD8+ T cells mainly consisted of effector memory subsets, namely CD45RA-CCR7- effector memory (Tem) and CD45RA+CCR7- effector memory re-expressing CD45RA (Temra) cells, which enacted specific gene expression profiles upon stimulation with cognate antigens. DENV-specific CD8+ T cell subsets in general, and Temra cells in particular, were fully activated and polyfunctional, yet associated with relatively narrow transcriptional responses. Furthermore, we found that DENV-specific CD8+ Tem and Temra cells showed some unique T cell receptor features in terms of overlap and variable (V) gene usage. This study provides a transcriptomic definition of DENV-specific activated human CD8+ T cell subsets and defines a benchmark profile that vaccine-specific responses could aim to reproduce.

TCR repertoire of effector CCR7-CD38+ cells accumulating during experimental infection with Typhoidal Salmonella

Project description:In order to characterize pathogen specific T cell responses against Salmonella volunteers challenged with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) or Salmonella Paratyphi A (S. Paratyphi). we used mass cytometry, to identify effector CD4+ T cells circulating during infection. We identified a population of CCR7-CD38+ cells accumulating during infection, and via unbiased single cell cloning and expansion we demonstrated that these CCR7-CD38+ cells are enriched in Salmonella specific T cells. In this experiment we performed TCR repertoire analysis of CCR7-CD38+ and CCR7-CD38- cells to determine the clonality of CCR7-CD38+ cells, the overlap between the repertoire of CCR7-CD38+ cells and of non-activated effector CCR7-CD38- cells, and to identify within CCR7-CD38+ and CCR7-CD38- cells the presence of the CDR3b TCR sequence of the pathogen specific T cell clones isolated from CCR7-CD38+ cells Overall design: Analysis of the TCR repertoire of CCR7-CD38+ and CCR7-CD38+ CD4 T cells isolated from frozen PBMC after diagnosis of enteric fever in one volunteer challenged with Salmonella Typhi and one challenged with Salmonella Paratyphi A

Clinical significance of herpes virus entry mediator expression in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is overexpressed in several malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, to the best of our knowledge, the clinical significance of HVEM in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the clinical significance of HVEM in HBV-related HCC. In the present study, HVEM expression was evaluated in HCC cell lines and HCC frozen samples. The prognostic value of HVEM was assessed in a cohort of 221 patients with HBV-related HCC, following radical resection. B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) expression in subsets of CD8+ T cells was determined via flow cytometry analysis. The results demonstrated high HVEM expression in HCC cell lines, and in HCC tissues compared with paired non-cancerous liver tissues. HVEM expression was demonstrated to be significantly associated with tumor encapsulation and vascular invasion. Furthermore, tumor HVEM status was significantly associated with infiltration of regulatory T cells, but not with CD8+ T cells. Notably, high HVEM expression in HCC was determined to be an independent predictor of an unfavorable outcome of patients with HCC following radical resection. Higher BTLA expression (the receptor of HVEM) was observed in both HCC-infiltrating CD8+ effector memory (CCR7- CD45RA-) and CD45RA+ effector memory (CCR7- CD45RA+) T cells in HCC tissues and blood compared with those in paired peritumor tissues or peripheral blood. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that HVEM may serve a critical role in HBV-related HCC, most likely by promoting tumor progression and tumor immune evasion, thus the HVEM/BLTA signaling pathway may be a potential target in tumor immunotherapy.
