Dengue virus-specific CD8 T cell subsets are associated with specialized gene expression profiles and TCR repertoires

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence demonstrates that CD8 T cells contribute to protection from severe DENV disease and vaccine efficacy. Nevertheless, the 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 that have been infected with DENV multiple times and should therefore associated with significant levels of adaptive immunity. DENV-specific CD8 T cells mainly consist of effector memory subsets, namely Tem and Temra which enact specific gene expression profiles upon stimulation with cognate antigens. DENV-specific CD8 T cell subsets in general, and Temra cells in particular, are fully activated and polyfunctional, yet associated with relatively narrow transcriptional responses and TCR repertoires. This study provides the first transcriptomic definition of DENV-specific activated human CD8 T cell subsets and defines a bench mark profile that vaccine-specific response could aim to reproduce.

Gene expression profiles of human CD45RA+CCR7-CD8+ T cells

Project description:Human CD8+ T cells are functionally heterogeneous and can be divided into distinct subsets according to CCR7 and CD45RA expression levels. Among the subsets, CCR7-CD45RA+ CD8+ T cells are considered to be terminally differentiated cells and designated as Temra. Temra show attenuated ability to proliferate and produce IFN-gamma in response to TCR stimulation, while Temra show improved function after IL-15 treatment. To clarify the transcriptional signatures induced by the stimulations, Temra were purified using flow cytometry, stimulated with IL-15 or with anti-CD3/CD28 (TCR stimulation), or cultured without stimulation for 2 days, and subjected to microarray analysis.

Transcription profiling of human CD8 naive (TN), central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM), and effector memory RA (TEMRA) T cells

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.

Precursors of human CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes identified by single-cell transcriptome analysis [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4-CTLs) have been reported to play a protective role in several viral infections. However, little is known in humans about the biology of CD4-CTL generation, their functional properties, heterogeneity and clonal diversity, especially in relation to other well-described CD4+ memory T cell subsets. We performed single-cell RNA-seq in over 9000 cells to unravel CD4-CTL heterogeneity, transcriptional profile and clonality in humans. The single-cell differential gene expression analysis, revealed a spectrum of known transcripts, including several linked to cytotoxic and co-stimulatory function, and transcripts of unknown cytotoxicity-related function that are expressed at higher levels in the TEMRA subset, which is highly enriched for CD4-CTLs, compared to cells in the central and effector memory subsets (TCM, TEM). Simultaneous T cells antigen receptor (TCR) analysis in single-cells and bulk subsets revealed that CD4-TEMRA cells show marked clonal expansion compared to TCM and TEM cells and that the majority of CD4-TEMRA were dengue virus (DENV)-specific in subjects with previous DENV infection. The profile of CD4-TEMRA was highly heterogeneous across subjects, with four distinct clusters identified by the single-cell analysis. Most importantly, we identified distinct clusters of CD4-CTL effector and precursor cells in the TEMRA subset; the precursor cells shared TCR clonotypes with CD4-CTL effectors and were distinguished by high expression of the interleukin-7 receptor. Our identification of a CD4-CTL precursor population may allow further investigation of how CD4-CTLs arise in humans and thus could provide insights into the mechanisms that may be utilized to generate durable and effective CD4-CTL immunity.

Cytotoxic CD8+ Temra cells show loss of chromatin accessibility at genes associated with T cell activation

Project description:As humans age their memory T cell compartment expands due to lifelong exposure to antigens. This expansion is characterized by the presence of terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells (Temra) which possess an NK cell-like phenotype and are associated with chronic inflammatory conditions. Temra cells are predominantly driven by sporadic cytomegalovirus reactivation (CMV) yet their cellular heterogeneity remains understudied. To address this gap we measured their gene expression profiles and conducted single-cell transcriptome analysis. We show that CD8+ Temra cells are highly heterogeneous and describe subsets specific to old age and CMV infection.
