Tox reinforces the phenotype and longevity of exhausted T-cells in chronic viral infection [day28 acute vs chronic]

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. The term 'chronic' refers to P14 T-cells isolated from mice chronically infected with LCMV clone-13. 'Acute' are P14 T cells that were primed by in a specific LCMV-clone-13 infection setup in which P14 T cells are exposed to low antigen levels. In this setup, T cells retain a phenotype that resembles T-cells found in acutely resolved infection. Both samples were side by side compared.

Tox reinforces the phenotype and longevity of exhausted T-cells in chronic viral infection [day 8 acute vs chronic]

Project description: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.

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. The terms acute and chronic samples refer to P14 T-cells that were initially activated in acute LCMV (Armstrong) or chronic LCMV (clone-13) infections. 4 weeks later, the P14 T cells were collected, transferred into naive mice, and both then re-expanded in acute LCMV (Armstrong) infection. 8 days later P14 T-cells were collected and analysed.

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.

RNA-seq of LCMV GP33-specific CD8 TCR transgenic cells (P14) primed at the onset versus in the midst of persistent LCMV-Clone 13 viral infection

Project description:Altered CD8 T cell differentiation and functional exhaustion prevent control of chronic virus infection and cancer. Yet, how fate commitment and exhaustion are determined and dynamically modulated throughout persistent infection are unclear. We compared the activation and differentiation of LCMV GP33-specific CD8 TCR transgenic cells (P14) primed at the onset versus in the midst of established persistent LCMV-Clone 13 viral infection. LCMV GP33-specific CD8 TCR transgenic (P14) cells were injected into naïve mice immediately infected with LCMV-Cl13 (Early priming) or into mice that had been infected 21 days earlier with LCMV-Cl13 (Late Priming). Sixty hours post-priming P14 cells were sorted from mice and subjected to RNA seq. We show early primed cells very rapidly exhibit a transcriptional profile of robust activation, effector differentiation and dysfunction, while late primed cells have increased expression of genes involved in memory differentiation and maintenance.
