Project description:Persistent exposure to antigen leads to T cell exhaustion and immunologic dysfunction. We examined the immune exhaustion markers TIGIT and PD-1 in HIV-infected and healthy individuals and the relationship with cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) activity. Frequencies of TIGIT but not PD-1 positively correlated with CTL activity in HIV-aviremic and healthy individuals; however, there was no correlation in HIV-viremic individuals. Transcriptome analyses revealed upregulation of genes associated with antiviral immunity in TIGIT+ versus TIGIT-CD8+ T cells. Our data suggest that TIGIT+CD8+ T cells do not necessarily represent a state of immune exhaustion and maintain an intrinsic cytotoxicity in HIV-infected individuals.

Project description:On triggering of the T cell receptor CD8 T lymphocytes downregulate expression of the transcription factor KLF2. KLF2 expression remains low as these cells differentiate to Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) but may be re-expressed depending on the local environmental signals. We used retroviral transduction to enforce KLF2 expression in CTL to determine the impact of it re-expression on the CTL genetic program. T lymphocytes with a transgenic T cell receptor (P14 LCMV) isolated from murine spleens were activated with gp33-41 peptide for 2 days and transduced with empty vector (evGFP) or GFP-KLF2. After differentiation to CTL in culture with Interleukin-2 for 2 further days, cells positive for GFP were isolated by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting and the RNA extracted for microarray analysis.

Project description:In cytotoxic T cells (CTL), Protein Kinase B /Akt is activated by the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) and the cytokine Interleukin 2 (IL2), in part by phosophorylation of Akt by Phospholipid dependent kinase 1 (PDK1). The role of PDK1 and Akt in CTL has however not been fully defined. In order to explore the relative roles of these kinases in CTL we used microarrays to profile the gene expression of control and PDK1 null CTL. In separate experiments we compared the gene expression profiles of control and Akt inhibitor treated CTL. CTL were generated from 3 mice each carrying two loxP flanked PDK1 alleles plus a tamoxifen inducible Cre transgene. PDK1 was then deleted from these CTL by tamoxifen treatment and the gene expression pattern determined by microarray. Tamoxifen treated PDK1wt/wt TamoxCre+ CTL generated from 3 PDK1wt/wt TamocCre+ mice were used as a control. In separate experiments CTL were were generated from 3 wild-type mice and then half the CTL generated from each mouse were treated with the Akt inhibitor AktI-1/2. The gene expression patterns of the AktI treated and the untreated CTL were then compared by microarray.

Project description:Bladder cancer is a major and mortal disease in urological area. Cisplatin is a key drug for bladder cancer especially for muscle invasive cases. In most cases of bladder cancer, cisplatin is effective; however, resistance to cisplatin is critical for patient’s prognosis. Thus, treatment strategy for cisplatin resistant bladder cancer is essential to improve current prognosis. In this study, we established cisplatin resistant bladder cancer line (CR cells) using a urothelial carcinoma line UM-UC-3 cells. We screened potential targets for CR cells and found that claspin is overexpressed in CR cells. Claspin mRNA knockdown revealed that claspin has a role in cisplatin resistance in CR cells. In our previous study, we found HLA-A*02:01-restricted CLSPN peptide by an HLA ligandome analysis. We thus generated CLSPN peptide specific CTL clone and found that CLSPN peptide-specific CTL clone recognized CR cells at higher levels compared with that of UM-UC-3 wild type cells. These findings indicate that claspin is a driver for cisplatin resistance and claspin peptide-specific immunotherapy is effective for cisplatin resistant cases.

Project description:In perinatal HIV infection, early ART initiation is recommended but questions remain regarding infant immune responses to HIV and impact of HIV on immune development. Using single cell transcriptional and phenotypic analysis we evaluated the T cell compartment at pre-ART initiation of infants with perinatally acquired HIV from Maputo, Mozambique (TARA cohort). CD8+ T cell maturation subsets exhibited altered distribution in HIV exposed infected (HEI) infants relative to control infants (HIV exposed uninfected) with reduced naïve, increased effectors, higher frequencies of activated T cells, and lower frequencies of cells with markers of self-renewal. Additionally, a cluster of CD8+ T cells identified in HEI displayed gene profiles consistent with cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and showed evidence for hyper expansion. Longitudinal phenotypic analysis revealed accelerated maturation of CD8+ T cells was maintained in HEI despite viral control. The results point to a HIV directed immune response that is likely to influence reservoir establishment.

Immune activation promotes evolutionary conservation of T-cell epitopes in HIV-1.
Sanjuán R, Nebot MR, Peris JB, Alcamí J.
PLoS Biol. 2013 Apr;11(4):e1001523
Abstract:
The immune system should constitute a strong selective pressure promoting viral genetic diversity and evolution. However, HIV shows lower sequence variability at T-cell epitopes than elsewhere in the genome, in contrast with other human RNA viruses. Here, we propose that epitope conservation is a consequence of the particular interactions established between HIV and the immune system. On one hand, epitope recognition triggers an anti-HIV response mediated by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), but on the other hand, activation of CD4(+) helper T lymphocytes (TH cells) promotes HIV replication. Mathematical modeling of these opposite selective forces revealed that selection at the intrapatient level can promote either T-cell epitope conservation or escape. We predict greater conservation for epitopes contributing significantly to total immune activation levels (immunodominance), and when TH cell infection is concomitant to epitope recognition (trans-infection). We suggest that HIV-driven immune activation in the lymph nodes during the chronic stage of the disease may offer a favorable scenario for epitope conservation. Our results also support the view that some pathogens draw benefits from the immune response and suggest that vaccination strategies based on conserved TH epitopes may be counterproductive.
Note from the author:
this version of the model is more general that the one described in the paper. This is because: (i) it can consider simultaneously Th-epitope escape mutants, CTL-epitope escape mutants and full T-cell (Th and CTL) escape mutants, by setting the mutation rate of Th and CTL escape mutants to zero. (ii) It allows for back mutations, which were ignored in all the simulations shown in the paper. (iii) It allows for a fitness cost of escape mutants, which was set to zero in the article. (iv) pAPCs can be infected and produce viruses (the rate of viral production for pAPCs was set to zero in the paper).

Infection dynamics in
HIV-specific CD4 T cells: does a CD4 T cell boost benefit the
host or the virus?
Wodarz D, Hamer DH.
Math Biosci 2007 Sep; 209(1):
14-29
Abstract:
Recent experimental data have shown that HIV-specific CD4 T
cells provide a very important target for HIV replication. We
use mathematical models to explore the effect of specific CD4 T
cell infection on the dynamics of virus spread and immune
responses. Infected CD4 T cells can provide antigen for their
own stimulation. We show that such autocatalytic cell division
can significantly enhance virus spread, and can also provide an
additional reservoir for virus persistence during anti-viral
drug therapy. In addition, the initial number of HIV-specific
CD4 T cells is an important determinant of acute infection
dynamics. A high initial number of HIV-specific CD4 T cells can
lead to a sudden and fast drop of the population of
HIV-specific CD4 T cells which results quickly in their
extinction. On the other hand, a low initial number of
HIV-specific CD4 T cells can lead to a prolonged persistence of
HIV-specific CD4 T cell help at higher levels. The model
suggests that boosting the population of HIV-specific CD4 T
cells can increase the amount of virus-induced immune
impairment, lead to less efficient anti-viral effector
responses, and thus speed up disease progression, especially if
effector responses such as CTL have not been sufficiently
boosted at the same time.

Project description:The activation of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells is crucial for the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against malignancy. We reprogrammed a Th clone specific for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-derived b3a2 peptide to pluripotency and re-differentiated the cells into T-lineage cells (iPS-T cells). Although iPS-T cells retained the same T-cell receptor (TCR) as the original Th clone, their gene expression patterns resembled those of group 1 innate lymphoid cells, and CD4 molecule, an essential co-receptor in TCR-mediated Th responses, was not expressed. The transduction of CD4 genes into iPS-T cells enhanced b3a2 peptide–specific responses. iPS-T cells contained a subpopulation that up-regulates CD40 ligand (CD40L) in response to IL-2 and IL-15. Besides CD4 expression, CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells induced antigen-specific DC maturation characterized by enhanced CD83, CD86, and CCR7. In the presence of Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) peptide, DCs conditioned by CD4-modified CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells stimulated the priming of WT1-specific CTLs. These CTLs eliminated WT1 peptide-expressing CML cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Our findings indicate CD4 modification and purification of CD40Lhigh iPS-T cells generates T helper-like cells that induce effective anti-leukemic CTL responses via DC maturation and suggest feasibility of the cells for adoptive immunotherapy against leukemia.
