CD28 Co-stimulation Drives Tumor-Infiltrating T Cell Glycolysis to Promote Inflammation

ABSTRACT: Metabolic reprogramming dictates the fate and function of stimulated T cells, yet these pathways can be suppressed in T cells subjected to unique microenvironments, such as in a tumor. We previously showed that glycolytic and mitochondrial adaptations directly contribute to reduced effector functions of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) CD8 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Here we define the role of these metabolic pathways in the activation and effector functions of RCC CD8 TIL. CD28 co-stimulation plays a key role to augment T cell activation and metabolism and is antagonized by inhibitory and checkpoint immunotherapy receptors CTLA4 and PD-1. While RCC CD8 TIL activated poorly when stimulated through the T cell receptor alone, addition of CD28 co-stimulation greatly enhanced activation, function, and proliferation. CD28 co-stimulation reprogrammed RCC CD8 TIL metabolism with increased glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, in part through upregulation of GLUT3. Mitochondria also became more fused, with higher membrane potential and overall mass. These phenotypes were dependent on glucose metabolism, as the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose both prevented changes to mitochondria and suppressed RCC CD8 TIL activation and function. These data show that CD28 co-stimulation can restore RCC CD8 TIL metabolism and function through rescue of T cell glycolysis that supports mitochondrial mass and activity.

Project description:CD8+ tumor infiltrating T cells (TIL) lack effector-phase functions due to defective proximal TCR-mediated signaling shown to result from inactivation of p56lck kinase. We identify a novel interacting partner for p56lck in nonlytic TIL, Protocadherin-18 (‘pcdh18’), and show that pcdh18 is transcribed upon in vitro or in vivo activation of CD8+ central memory T cells (CD44+CD62LhiCD127+) coincident with conversion into effector memory cells (CD44+CD62LloCD127+). Expression of pcdh18 in primary CD8+ effector cells induces the phenotype of nonlytic TIL: defective; proximal TCR signaling, cytokine secretion, and cytolysis; and enhanced AICD. pcdh18 contains a motif (centered at Y505) shared with src kinases (QGQYQP) which is required for the inhibitory phenotype. Thus, pcdh18 is a novel marker of CD8+ effector memory T cells expressed upon cell activation that can function as a negative regulator by restricting the effector phase. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying CD8+ 'Central memory' T cells activation and identified distinct transcriptional pattern clusters. Ten spleens were pooled from 62 week old C57BL/6 male mice and enriched for CD8+ T cells by negative selection using a cocktail of biotinylated antibodies to deplete CD4, CD11c, CD11b, MHC-II, B220, and NK cells. Cells were then stained for CD8, CD44, CD62L, and CD127 and sorted (using a iCyt Reflection parallel cell sorter). Cells were collected and cultured (0.5 x106 cells/well) in 10% complete RPMI media supplemented with 0.005 ugr Con A and RNA prepared using TRIZOL and the 'RNeasy clean-up kit' (Invitrogen) after activation for different times. We established single transcriptional profiles for 6 time points after T cell activation (4, 6, 8, 16, 20, 24 h) including a control zero h time point (prior to activation). RNA was isolated by standard procedures and its quality was assessed by the NYU Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics. cDNAs were hybridized to GeneSpring arrays using the mouse genome MOE430 2.0 array (Affymetrix) which interrogates ~45,000 transcripts.
