Tox reinforces the phenotype and longevity of exhausted T-cells in chronic viral infection [Bisulfite-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Chronic CD8 T-cell stimulation in persisting infections or tumors can induce a stable gene expression program, known as T-cell dysfunction or exhaustion, that limits the cell’s effector functions and anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. Thus far, the underlaying molecular mechanisms that induce and stabilize this phenotype are vaguely understood. We report here that establishing this program requires the thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group-box protein (Tox). Genetic disruption of Tox augments effector function, decreases the expression of PD-1, and significantly enhances immunopathology. These changes are linked to a failure in fixing the dysfunctional phenotype in the critical Tcf1+ progenitor population and to impaired epigenetic programing. Surprisingly, the gains in effector function co-incide with declining numbers of Tcf1+ cells and result ultimately in reduced total numbers of pathogen-specific T-cells. Thus, we establish Tox as a critical factor for the development of T-cell dysfunction and establish a clear link between CD8 T-cell intrinsic suppression of effector function and protection against immune-pathology.

Tumor context dictates reliance on Tcf1 for response to immunotherapy

Project description:Stem-like CD8 + T cells are regulated by the transcription factor TCF1 and are key players in the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, recent findings indicate that reliance on TCF1 + CD8 + stem-like T cells for ICB efficacy may not be equal across patients or tumor contexts. Here, we uncovered that TCF1-deficient CD8 + T cells showed defective priming in the tumor-draining lymph node of mice bearing poorly immunogenic tumors and that TCF1 regulates optimal T cell responsiveness to low TCR triggering. Importantly, we found that TCF1 was dispensable for therapy response in settings where ICB expanded intra-tumoral transitory effector-like cells. Conversely, TCF1 was required for ICB response in tumors that failed to expand cytotoxic effectors and accumulated Tox + dysfunctional T cells. In the absence of TCF1, dysfunctional T cells became destabilized and shared features with CD8 + T cells found in patients that fail ICB. Our study highlights a role for TCF1 in the early stages of the anti-tumor CD8 + T cell response with important implications for guiding optimal therapeutic interventions in cancers with low frequency of TCF1 + CD8 + T cells and low neoantigen levels.

Gene expression of early memory and effector precursor CD8 T cells generated by differential TCR signaling strength

Project description:Asymmetric cell division (ACD) and the strength of initial T cell receptor (TCR) signaling are both implied to contribute to the establishment of cellular heterogeneity and CD8 T cell effector and memory differentiation. However, on a single cell level it remained unclear whether ACD generates progeny of different fates and whether the strength of TCR signaling affects this mechanism. Therefore, we developed experimental systems allowing monitoring the fate of single daughter cell progenies derived from an ACD either induced by weak or strong TCR stimulation by in vitro live imaging. We used the combinatorial expression of TCF1 and CD62L as markers indicating fate specification a few days after activation and analyzed the transcriptional profiles of in vitro generated CD62L+TCF1+ and CD62L-TCF1- cells derived from either antibody-induced (AB) activation or from gp33 (high affinity) or C6 (low affinity) peptide stimulation and compared them to in vivo generated effector and memory cells, respectively. Therefore, we sorted CD62L+TCF1+ and CD62L-TCF1- cells on day 6 post activation, followed by bulk RNA sequencing and found that CD62L+TCF1+ cells transcriptionally resembled in vivo generated memory cells, whereas CD62L-TCF1- cells were similar to in vivo generated effector cells.

De novo DNA methylation by DNA Methyltransferase 3a controls early effector CD8+ T cell fate decisions following activation

Project description:DNMT3a is a de novo DNA methyltransferase expressed robustly after T cell activation that regulates plasticity of CD4+ T cell cytokine expression. Here we show that DNMT3a is critical for directing early CD8+ T cell effector and memory fate decisions. While effector function of DNMT3a knockout T cells is normal, they develop more memory precursor and fewer terminal effector cells in a T cell intrinsic manner compared to wild-type animals. Rather than increasing plasticity of differentiated effector CD8+ T cells, loss of DNMT3a biases differentiation of early effector cells into memory precursor cells. This is attributed in part to ineffective repression of Tcf1 expression in knockout T cells, as DNMT3a localizes to the Tcf7 promoter and catalyzes its de novo methylation in early effector WT CD8+ T cells. This data identifies DNMT3a as a crucial regulator of CD8+ early effector cell differentiation and effector versus memory fate decisions. Examination of global genomic DNA methylation by MBD-seq in naÃ¯ve CD8 T cells and CD8 T cells 8 days post Vaccinia-Ova infection, comparing OT1 TCR-Tg CD8 T cells isolated from WT and T cell conditional DNMT3a KO mice.

Memory-like CD8 T-cells sustain the immune response to chronic viral infections.

Project description:We have discovered a small subpopulation of virus-specific CD8 T-cells that sustains the T-cell response in chronic infections. These cells are defined by - and depend on - the expression of the transcription factor Tcf1 (T cell factor 1) and show key characteristics of central memory cells while lacking an effector signature. Unlike conventional memory cells, Tcf1+ T-cells display hallmarks of an âexhaustedâ phenotype, including the expression of certain inhibitory receptors. Naive Tcf1-GFP+ P14 cells (Naive) were transferred into Vb5 recipient mice (CD45.1) prior to infection with LCMV clone 13 (c13). Tcf1-GFP+ P14 cells (chronic Tcf1+) and Tcf1-GFP- P14 cells (chronic Tcf1-) were flow sorted on day 28 post infection. Naive Tcf1-GFP+ P14 cells (Naive) were also transferred into C57BL/6 hosts (CD45.1.2) prior to infection with LCMV Armstrong (Arm). Tcf1-GFP+ P14 cells (memory Tcf1+) and Tcf1-GFP- P14 cells (memory Tcf1-) were flow sorted on day 28 post infection. Total RNA was extracted, cDNA libraries prepared and sequencing was performed using Illumina HiSeq 2500 technology.
