Project description:CD4+ and CD8+ T cells can reciprocally differentiate into Th/Tc1, Th/Tc17 and Th/Tc22. Although alloreactive Th/Tc1 cells play a critical role in initiating pathogenesis of gut acute graft-versus-host disease (Gut-aGVHD), the pathogenic T cells in steroid-resistant Gut-aGVHD (SR-Gut-aGVHD) remains unclear. Here, we show that in murine models of SR-Gut-aGVHD, the pathogenesis is associated with reduction of IFN-g+ Th/Tc1 and IL-17A+IL-22- Th/Tc17 but expansion of IL-17-IL-22+ Th/Tc22, particularly Tc22 cells. IL-22 from Th/Tc22 cells causes dysbiosis. Using a Gut-aGVHD model induced by alloreactive IFN-g-/- CD8+ T cells, we show that the Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis requires both dysbiosis and depletion of CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) that regulate intestinal bacterial translocation. Absence of IFN-g leads to preferential expansion of Tc22 that induce dysbiosis by augmenting RegIIIg production, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP via its PD-1 interaction with tissue PD-L1. Interestingly, SR-Gut-aGVHD is also associated with depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP that reduces expansion of Tc22 under steroid treatment. Our studies indicate that expansion of Th/Tc22, dysbiosis, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP cells play critical roles in SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis. These results provide new avenue towards studies in patients and call for caution in clinical testing of IL-22 agonists or IFN-g antagonist in patients.

Project description:CD8+ T cell differentiation traditionally results in the emergence of two subsets, Tc1 cells that produce interferon (IFN)-gamma and memory cells that mediate immune protection against pathogen infections. More recently, it has emerged that other specialized CD8+ T cell populations develop in immune responses and are critical to orchestrate complete immune protection. These subsets include tissue-resident memory (Trm) T cells, follicular cytotoxic T cells and two CD8+ T cell subsets that produce interleukin (IL)-17, namely, mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and Tc17 cells. Here we investigated the role of TCF-1 in CD8+ T cell differentiation by using Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-Seq) to determine the chromatin accessibility landscape of CD8+ T cells and how this is controlled by TCF-1. Loss of TCF-1 was associated with global changes in the chromatin architecture in CD8+ T cells leading to increased accessibility of Rorc and Tc17 effector genes IL-17a and IL-17f in Tc17 cells. In contrast, we observed reduced accessibility of Tbx21, Eomes and Irf4 loci in Tc17 cells, genes normally required for the induction of Tc1 and memory CD8+ T cells

Project description:IL-17-producing cells are important mediators of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Here we demonstrate that a distinct CD8+ Tc17 population develops rapidly after SCT but fails to maintain lineage fidelity such that they are unrecognizable in the absence of a fate reporter. Tc17 differentiation is dependent on alloantigen presentation by host-DC together with IL-6. Tc17 cells express high levels of multiple prototypic lineage-defining transcription factors (e.g. RORgt, T-bet) and cytokines (e.g. IL-17A, IL-22, IFNg, GM-CSF, IL-13). Targeted depletion of Tc17 early after transplant protects from lethal acute GVHD, however Tc17 cells are non-cytolytic and fail to mediate graft–versus–leukemia (GVL) effects. Thus, the Tc17 differentiation program during GVHD culminates in a highly plastic, hyper-inflammatory, poorly-cytolytic effector population which we term inflammatory Tc17 (iTc17). Since iTc17 mediate GVHD without contributing to GVL, therapeutic inhibition of iTc17 development in a clinical setting represents an attractive approach for separating GVHD and GVL.

Project description:Autoimmune diseases are characterized by regulatory deficit in both the CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell compartments. We have shown that CD8+ T-cells associated with acute relapse of multiple sclerosis are significantly deficient in their immune suppressive ability. We hypothesized that distinct CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell (Tc) lineages, determined by cytokine milieu during naïve T-cell differentiation, may harbor differential ability to suppress effector CD4+ T-cells. We differentiated purified human naïve CD8+ T-cells in vitro toward Tc0 (media control), Tc1 and Tc17 lineages. Using in vitro flow cytometric suppression assays, we observed that Tc0 and Tc17 cells had similar suppressive ability. In contrast, Tc1 cells showed significant loss of suppressive ability against ex vivo CD4+ T-cells and in vitro-differentiated Th0, Th1 and Th17 cells. Of note, Tc1 cells were also suboptimal in suppressing CD4-induced acute xenogeneic graft versus host disease (xGVHD) in vivo. Tc subtypes derived under various cytokine combinations revealed that IL-12-containing conditions resulted in less suppressive cells exhibiting dysregulated cytotoxic degranulation. RNASeq transcriptome analyses indicated differential regulation of inflammatory genes and enrichment in GM-CSF-associated pathways. These studies provide insights into the role of T-cell differentiation in CD8 suppressive biology and may reveal therapeutically targetable pathways to reverse suppressive deficit during immune-mediated disease.

Project description:A plethora of data supports a major role of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes for the initiation, progression and maintenance of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). However, in-depth understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is still limited. NFATc1 , a central component of the Ca++-Calcineurin-NFAT-signalling network, plays an essential role in T cell activation. We therefore investigated its impact on contact hypersensitivity (CHS), the mouse model for ACD. The CHS response to 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB) was diminished in Nfatc1fl/flxCd4-cre mice (Nfatc1-/-) as compared to wild-type (WT) animals and associated with a lower percentage of interleukin (IL)17-producing CD8+T (Tc17) cells in both inflamed skin and draining lymph nodes (dLN). In vitro Tc17 polarization assays revealed that Nfatc1-/- CD8+ T cells have a reduced capacity to polarize into Tc17 cells. Applying single-cell RNA sequencing, we realized that NFATc1 controls the T cell differentiation fate. In the absence of NFATc1, CD8+ T cells favour the development of Interferon (IFN)-g-secreting CD8+ T (Tc1) lymphocytes while in its presence they turn into Tc17 cells. Finally, we showed the adoptive transfer of TNCB-sensitized WT CD8+T cells rescued tThe CHS response could be rescued in naïve Nfatc1-/-mice by adoptive transfer of TNCB-sensitized WT CD8+T cells. Our data demonstrate that NFATc1 acts as a molecular switch controllcontrolsing the development of Tc17 cells and can be used as a target to alleviate surveilling CD8+T cell-mediated CHS responses.

Project description:IL-17-producing CD8+ (Tc17)T cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), thereby representing a promising target for therapy. We found that dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a first-line medication for MS upregulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) by glutathione depletion in murine Tc17 cells, which limited IL-17 and diverted Tc17 cells towards cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) signature. DMF enhanced PI3K-AKT-FOXO1-T-bet- as well as STAT5-signaling leading to restricted permissive histone state at the Il17 locus. T-bet-deficiency, inhibiting PI3K-AKT, STAT5 or histone deacetylases prevented DMF-ROS-mediated IL-17 suppression. In MS patients with stable response, DMF suppressed IL-17 production by CD8+ T-cells and triggered diversion from Tc17 towards CTL signature along with enriched ROS-, PI3K-AKT-FOXO1-signaling, demonstrating comparable regulation across species. Accordingly, in the mouse model for MS, DMF limited Tc17-encephalitogenicity. Our findings disclose DMF-ROS-AKT-driven pathway, which selectively modulates Tc17 fate to ameliorate MS, thus opening avenue to develop markers and targets for specific therapy.
