Project description:Recombinant adenoviral vectors (rAds), derived from distinct species with different serotypes, are lead vaccine candidates against Ebola, HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria based on their potent induction of T cell immunity in humans. Importantly, rAds vary in their ability to induce protective cellular immunity. Here, the in vivo mechanisms controlling potency of CD8 T cell responses were assessed after vaccination with human-, chimpanzee- and simian-derived rAds encoding SIV-Gag. After rAd vaccination, we quantified antigen (Ag) expression and performed expression profiling of innate immune response genes in the draining lymph node. The most potent rAds (human-derived rAd5 and chimpanzee-derived chAd3) induced high and persistent Ag expression with low innate gene activation, while the less potent rAds exhibited reduced Ag expression with robust innate gene activation associated primarily with interferon (IFN) signaling. Abrogation of type I IFN or stimulator of IFN genes (STING) signaling increased Ag expression and accelerated CD8 T cell response kinetics, but did not alter memory responses or protection. Thus, the magnitude of memory CD8 T cell immune responses induced by rAds correlates with Ag expression but is independent of IFN and STING. These findings provide criteria for optimal induction of protective CD8 T cell immunity with rAd vaccines.

Project description:Intraepithelilal lymphocytes (IELs) are located at the intestinal barrier where they can offer swift protection against invading pathogens. However, they are kept in a heightened state of activation resembling effector T cells, but without cytokine production or clonal proliferation. They also posses altered metabolic pathways than CD8+ memory T cells from spleen. With differentially expressed gene analysis of intestinal IELs and CD8+ memory T cells from spleen, we confirmed increased expression of metabolic enzymes involved in lipid uptake and lipid metabolism in IELs compared with CD8+ memory T cells. This was particularly the case for enzymes involved in mevalonate, lanosterol and cholesterol synthesis pathways, suggesting increased lipid metabolite generation. Differential gene expression showed also strong predisposition for cytotoxic potential that IELs possess in comparison to CD8+ memory T cell.

Project description:Inducing the long-term protection via effector memory CD8+ T cells residing in the peripheral tissues is the ultimate goal of T cell-based vaccination strategies. CD8+ T cell reacting against a particular set of antigenic peptides show propensity to generate stable pools of memory inflating cells with profound protective capacity. While the epitopes that induce memory inflation have been thoroughly characterized and used as excellent constituents of vaccines such as recombinant adenoviruses, the identity of the tissue factors responsible for maintaining memory inflating CD8+ T cells remains elusive. Here, we have used a Cre recombinase-dependent, -galactosidase (gal)–recombinant adenovirus vector that allowed for cell-specific expression of gal epitopes and identification of cell types involved in generation of inflationary responses. While targeting antigen expression to classical hematopoietic antigen presenting cells was insufficient to activate gal-specific CD8+ T cells, expressing the antigen exclusively in CCL19-producing fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) induced robust anti-gal CD8+ T cell response. Using bone marrow chimera mice to abolish the expression of major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) and Basic Leucine Zipper ATF-Like Transcription Factor 3 (BATF3) in hematopoietic cells we demonstrated that CCL19-expressing FCS function as antigen libraries, gradually releasing the antigen to CD103+ DCs to maintain gal-specific memory inflating population. Moreover, targeted ablation of CCL19-producing cells revealed that pulmonary fibroblastic stromal cells act as the principal organizer of the nurturing niches that support the metabolic conversion in CD8+ T cells necessary for the generation of long-lasting protective inflationary responses. Overall, our data reveal a hitherto unknown function of CCL19-expressiong fibroblastic stromal in supporting the metabolic fitness of CD8+ T cells, thereby promoting the generation of tissue-specific and long-lasting protective CD8+ T cell responses.

Project description:Cognate antigen signals control CD8+ T cell priming, expansion size and effector versus memory cell fates, however, it is not clear whether they can also modulate the functional features of memory CD8+ T cells. We observed that OT-I cells that were primed with weak cognate antigen signals incorporate more cytokine signals, leading to a hypothesis that CD8+ T cells that receive weak TCR signals require cytokine signals to form functional memory. Using a previously described mouse model in which IL-2 signaling via its high affinity receptor CD25 is selectively impaired, the “Il2ramut/mut” mouse, we conducted a comparative analysis of gene expression and epigenetic landscape of Il2ramut/mut and WT OT-I memory cells that were primed with strong (Lm-Ova N4) versus weak (Lm-Ova T4). RNA seq data showed that both TCR and IL-2 priming signals have minimal effect on gene expression in resting memory CD8 T cells, but they significantly modify the epigenetic landscape of the memory CD8 T cells. These findings have important contributions to the current understanding of how priming signals program memory CD8 T cells in vivo.

Project description:Many aged individuals develop monoclonal expansions of CD8 T cells. These expansions are derived from a CD8 memory T cell that outcompetes neighboring CD8 T cells. The molecular alterations within clonal expansions that confer this competitive advantage relative to other CD8 T cells remains unknown. These microarray experiments were designed to identify genes differentially expressed in age-associated expansions of CD8 memory T cells relative to polyclonal CD8 memory T cells found in the same aged mice. Subsequent analysis of these data identified two major types of clonal expansions, distinguished by expression level of integrin a4 mRNA and protein. Based on this classification, Expansion_rep1 belongs to the integrin a4 high subtype of clonal expansions. In contrast, reps 2, 4, and 5 belong to the integrin a4 low subtype of clonal expansions. Given the divergent biological properties of these two subtypes of clonal expansions, we have focused genes differentially expressed between Expansion_rep 2, 4, and 5 and their paired PolyclonalAged samples. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 8 samples were analyzed for gene expression using the Affymetrix mouse genome 430 2.0 microarray platform. The experimental samples of interest were age-associated clonal expansions of CD8 memory T cells. We purified four clonal expansions from four independent, aged mice (indicated as "Expansion" rep1 2, 3, 4). For each clonal expansion of CD8 memory T cells that was purified, there was a paired control in which polyclonal CD8 memory T cells were harvested from the same aged mouse (denoted as "PolyclonalAged" rep1, 2, 3, 4). These paired samples allow one to consider gene expression changes from mice which have undergone the same age-associated changes in biology. The predominant comparison this study focused on was changes in gene expression between age-associated clonal expansions of CD8 memory T cells and their paired, polyclonal CD8 memory T cells. A total of 4 of these pairs were collected.

Project description:Memory CD8+ T cells are an essential component of protective immunity. Signaling via mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been implicated in the regulation of the differentiation of effector and memory T cells. However, little is understood about the mechanisms that control mTOR activity, or the effector pathways regulated by mTOR, in this process. We describe here that tuberous sclerosis 1 (Tsc1), a regulator of mTOR signaling, plays a crucial role in promoting the differentiation and function of memory CD8+ T cells in response to Listeria monocytogenes infection. Mice with specific deletion of Tsc1 in antigen-experienced CD8+ T cells evoked normal effector responses, but were markedly impaired in the generation of memory T cells and their recall responses to antigen re-exposure in a cell-intrinsic manner. Tsc1 deficiency suppressed the generation of memory-precursor effector cells (MPECs) while promoting short-lived effector cell (SLEC) differentiation. Functional genomic analysis indicated that Tsc1 coordinated gene expression programs underlying immune function, transcriptional regulation and cell metabolism. Furthermore, Tsc1 deletion led to excessive mTORC1 activity and dysregulated cellular metabolism including glycolytic and oxidative metabolism. These findings establish a Tsc1-mediated checkpoint in linking immune signaling and cell metabolism to orchestrate memory CD8+ T cell development and function. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in OVA-specific CD8+ T-cells from wild-type (WT; Tsc1-fl/fl and cre-negative) and Tsc1-/- (Tsc1-fl/fl and Granzyme B-cre-positive) mice

Project description:Ag recognition via the TCR is necessary for the expansion of specific T cells that then contribute to adaptive immunity as effector and memory cells. Because CD4+ and CD8+ T cells differ in terms of their priming APCs and MHC ligands we compared their requirements of Ag persistence during their expansion phase side by side. Proliferation and effector differentiation of TCR transgenic and polyclonal mouse T cells were thus analyzed after transient and continuous TCR signals. Following equally strong stimulation, CD4+ T cell proliferation depended on prolonged Ag presence, whereas CD8+ T cells were able to divide and differentiate into effector cells despite discontinued Ag presentation. CD4+ T cell proliferation was neither affected by Th lineage or memory differentiation nor blocked by coinhibitory signals or missing inflammatory stimuli. Continued CD8+ T cell proliferation was truly independent of self-peptide/MHC-derived signals. The subset divergence was also illustrated by surprisingly broad transcriptional differences supporting a stronger propensity of CD8+ T cells to programmed expansion. These T cell data indicate an intrinsic difference between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells regarding the processing of TCR signals for proliferation. We also found that the presentation of a MHC class II–restricted peptide is more efficiently prolonged by dendritic cell activation in vivo than a class I bound one. In summary, our data demonstrate that CD4+ T cells require continuous stimulation for clonal expansion, whereas CD8+ T cells can divide following a much shorter TCR signal.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder in which neuroinflammation plays a critical function. Recurring viral infections and loss of immune competence increase risk for developing AD, yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving these immune changes are unknown. Here we performed mass cytometry of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and detected an immunologic signature of AD characterized by increased numbers of CD8+ T effector memory CD45RA+ (TEMRA) cells. CD8+ TEMRA cells were negatively associated with cognition and single cell RNA sequencing revealed their cytotoxic effector function. Strikingly, we discovered identical, shared T cell receptors (TCRs) of clonally expanded CD8+ TEMRA cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of three AD patients. Deep TCR sequencing, machine learning, and peptide screens identified the HLA-B*08:01-restricted Epstein-Barr virus trans-activator protein BZLF1 as the cognate antigen of a novel AD CSF TCR . These results provide the first evidence of clonal, antigen-specific T cells patrolling the intrathecal space of brains affected by age-related neurodegeneration
