Project description:γδ T cells provide rapid cellular immunity against pathogens. Here, we conducted matched single-cell RNA-sequencing and γδ-TCR-sequencing to delineate the molecular changes in γδ T cells during a longitudinal study following mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. While the first dose of vaccine primes Vδ2 T cells, it is the second administration that significantly boosts their immune response. Specifically, the second vaccination uncovers memory features of Vδ2 T cells, shaped by the induction of AP-1 family transcription factors and characterized by a convergent central memory signature, clonal expansion, and an enhanced effector potential. This temporally distinct effector response of Vδ2 T cells was also confirmed in vitro upon stimulation with SARS-CoV-2 spike-peptides. Indeed, the second challenge triggers a significantly higher production of IFNγ by Vδ2 T cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination might benefit from the establishment of long-lasting central memory Vδ2 T cells to confer protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Project description:Gamma delta (γδ) T cells reside within human tissues including tumors, but their role in mediating anti-tumor response with immune checkpoint inhibition is unknown. Using single-cell approaches, we found that kidney cancers are infiltrated by diverse Vδ2- γδ T cells, with equivalent representation of Vδ1+ and Vδ1- cells, that are distinct from γδ T cells found in normal human tissues. These tumor-resident Vδ2- T cells can express the transcriptional program of exhausted alpha beta (ab) CD8+ T cells as well as canonical markers of terminal T cell exhaustion including PD-1, TIGIT and TIM-3. While Vδ2- γδ T cells have blunted IL-2 production, they retain expression of cytolytic effector molecules and costimulatory receptors like 4-1BB. Exhausted Vδ2- γδ T cells are comprised of three distinct populations that lack TCF-7, are clonally expanded, express of cytotoxic molecules, and possess multiple Vδ2- TCRs. Human tumor-derived Vδ2- γδ T cells maintain cytotoxic function and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro. The transcriptional program of Vδ2- T cells in pre-treatment tumor biopsies predicted subsequent clinical responses to PD-1 blockade in vivo in cancer patients. Thus, Vδ2- γδ T cells within the tumor microenvironment can contribute to anti-tumor efficacy.

Project description:Allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 (Vδ2) T cells are attractive candidates in the development of cancer therapies due to their demonstrated safety in allogeneic settings and innate ability to fight tumors. However, the limited clinical success of Vδ2 T cell-based treatments may be attributed to donor variability, short-lived persistence, and tumor evasion. To address these limitations, we have generated Vδ2 T cells with improved properties. By utilizing CD16 as a donor selection biomarker, we have generated Vδ2 T cells with high levels of cytotoxicity and potent antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) function, and RNA sequencing characterization supports the increased effector function of Vδ2 T cells obtained from CD16 high (CD16Hi) donors. Further improvement was achieved through CAR and IL-15 engineering techniques. Preclinical studies in two ovarian cancer models showed that engineered CD16Hi Vδ2 T cells are both effective and safe, targeting tumors through multiple mechanisms, exhibiting long-term persistence in vivo, and not causing graft-versus-host disease. These findings support the potential of engineered CD16Hi Vδ2 T cells as a viable cancer therapy option.

Project description:Subsequent to acute injury, skeletal muscle undergoes a stereotypic regenerative process that re-establishes homeostasis. Various types of innate and adaptive immunocytes exert positive or negative influences at specific stages along the course of muscle regeneration. We describe an unanticipated role for gdT cells in promoting healthy tissue recovery after injection of cardiotoxin into murine hindlimb muscle. Within a few days of injury, IL-17A-producing gdT cells displaying primarily Vg6+ antigen receptors accumulated at the wound site. Punctual ablation experiments showed that these cells boosted early inflammatory events, notably recruitment of neutrophils; fostered the proliferation of muscle stem and progenitor cells; and thereby promoted tissue regeneration. Supplementation of mice harboring low numbers of IL-17A+ gdT cells with recombinant IL-17A largely reversed their inflammatory and reparative defects. Unexpectedly, the accumulation and influences of gdT cells in this experimental context were microbiota-dependent, unveiling an orthogonal perspective on the treatment of skeletal muscle pathologies such as catastrophic wounds, wasting, muscular dystrophies and myositides.

Project description:Our team had previously explored the potential of expanding cord blood (CB) derived γδ T cells (CB-gdT) as well as their corresponding ability to target primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Using a feeder cell line-based in vitro expansion protocol, we achieved a clinically relevant scale expansion of γδ T cells over a period of 14 days. These cells exhibit variable degree of potency against a range of human AML cell lines and primary patient samples. In order to dissect the cellular and molecular programs governing the activation, differentiation and functional states of our in vitro expanded CB-gdT, we performed multiplex single cell sequencing analysis using the 10X Genomics Chromium System. After initial quality check and filtering, data from a total of 4,276 cells were retrieved. Among which, we identified 742 unique TCRγδ clonotypes, representing 18.6% of the starting 4,000 FACS purified γδ T cells seeded for expansion. Consistent to our FACS analysis, Vδ1 is the predominant TRD chain in the expanded cultures, accounting for 61.2% of all clones. Based on uniform manifold approximation and projection for dimension reduction (UMAP), all cells were clustered into 11 subsets. Key cytotoxic genes including GZMB, GZMA and NKG7 were all highly expressed across all clusters, indicating that the expanded cells were indeed functionally cytotoxic. Comparing against multiple curated gene sets, we have identified 3 main subsets of γδ T cells: the Proliferative, Cytotoxic γδ T cells (P-CT), Differentiated Cytotoxic γδ T cells (D-CT) and Late Activated Cytotoxic γδ T cells (LA-CT). P-CT (~46% of all cells) shows an expression profile positively associated with cell proliferation as well as increased cell surface expression of memory T cell markers CD27, CCR7 and CD62L. Similar to cytotoxic genes, genes associated with TCR signaling and interferon response were found to be expressed across all cell clusters, yet with elevated levels in D-CT and LA-CT. Furthermore, cell surface expression of different NK receptors including NKG2D, DNAM1 and NKp30 are more enriched in LA-CT compared to the other 2 subsets, suggesting the acquisition of additional NK receptor related functions in this group of cells. Consistent with the concept of progressive γδ T cell differentiation and activation in culture, we found that in 85 (11.5%) of the γδ T cell clones bearing more than 10 cells each, all clones contain cells distributed across the 3 different γδ T cell subsets. This is the first report on single cell immune profiling of in vitro expanded gdT cells derived from human CB.
