Project description:Lymphocyte differentiation depends on activation via antigen and cytokines during the immune response to infection. How the timing and integration of these signals program the epigenetic and functional fate of these cells is not completely understood. In this study, we find that inflammatory cytokine signals received by innate and adaptive lymphocytes have a context-dependent role for immune memory formation. Without preceding and sufficient antigen receptor signaling, inflammatory cytokines drive terminal differentiation into short-lived effector cells. In contrast, sufficient antigen-receptor signaling redirects inflammatory cytokine signals to promote memory differentiation via cooperation of STAT and AP-1 transcription factors. By this crucial epigenetic mechanism, optimally equipped lymphocytes are selected for memory formation rather than a terminal effector cell fate. Whereas T cells are hardwired to be shielded from premature inflammatory signals, NK cells rely on coincidental early antigen receptor signaling for adaptive responses. Together, step-wise integration of antigen and cytokine signaling optimizes both effector and memory differentiation, allowing for promiscuous recruitment into the acute immune response while promoting avidity maturation in memory populations of both innate and adaptive lymphocytes.

Project description:Bystander activation represents an innate-like mechanism by which T cells, particularly effector and memory subsets, can become activated in the absence of cognate antigen recognition. Using human tonsil organoid cultures as a physiologically relevant model, we investigated bystander activation of CD4+ memory T cells in situ in comparison to superantigen stimulation. Tonsillar T cells were stimulated with pertussis toxin – a component of the childhood pertussis vaccine – in comparison to TSST-1 as the staphylococcal superantigen and assessed for activation status, cytokine expression, RNA expression, and metabolic reprogramming. We observed robust T cell activation and cytokine production as well as transcriptional changes comparable to that elicited by TSST-1. Notably, both bystander- and superantigen-activated T memory cells exhibited a metabolic shift toward glycolysis as the dominant energy pathway. These findings demonstrate the similarities of bystander and superantigen-induced TCR -independent T cell activation and show up pathways to sway bystander activation depending on the immunological context.

Project description:Macrophages, as key sentinel cells of the innate immune system, can retain memory of prior stimulus exposure. Interferon gamma (IFNγ) plays a central role in maintaining trained immunity in vivo and can induce potent memory in macrophages. Such memory is associated with the formation of de novo enhancers that alter gene expression responses to subsequent stimuli. However, how such enhancers are maintained after cytokine exposure remains unclear. We report that durable IFNγ-induced enhancers can last for days after cytokine washout, yet the underlying persistence mechanism is not cell-intrinsic. IFNγ-treated macrophages continue to exhibit JAK/STAT signaling days after cytokine removal. Blocking IFNγ signaling with a JAK inhibitor or anti-IFNγ neutralizing antibodies after cytokine removal is sufficient to reverse IFNγ-induced enhancers and erase the potentiated state of the treated macrophages. Our findings suggest that epigenetic changes in macrophages do not inherently encode innate immune memory or a “potentiated” macrophage state, but that rather epigenetic changes are themselves dependent on ongoing cytokine signaling. These findings suggest new possibilities for pharmacologic interventions to reverse aberrantly trained immune states associated with pathology.
