Regulatory KIR+RA+ T cells accumulate with age and are highly activated during viral respiratory disease

ABSTRACT: Severe respiratory viral infectious diseases such as influenza and COVID- 19 espe-cially affect the older population. This is partly ascribed to diminished CD8+ T- cell re-sponses a result of aging. The phenotypical diversity of the CD8+ T- cell population has made it difficult to identify the impact of aging on CD8+ T- cell subsets associated with diminished CD8+ T- cell responses. Here we identify a novel human CD8+ T- cell subset characterized by expression of Killer- cell Immunoglobulin-l ike Receptors (KIR+) and CD45RA (RA+). These KIR+RA+ T cells accumulated with age in the blood of healthy individuals (20– 82 years of age, n = 50), expressed high levels of aging- related mark-ers of T- cell regulation, and were functionally capable of suppressing proliferation of other CD8+ T cells. Moreover, KIR+RA+ T cells were a major T- cell subset becoming activated in older adults suffering from an acute respiratory viral infection (n = 36), including coronavirus and influenza virus infection. In addition, older adults with influ-enza A infection showed that higher activation status of their KIR+RA+ T cells associ-ated with longer duration of respiratory symptoms. Together, our data indicate that KIR+RA+ T cells are a unique human T- cell subset with regulatory properties that may explain susceptibility to viral respiratory disease at old age.

Epigenomics of Human CD8 T cell Differentiation and Aging

Project description:<p>The efficacy of the adaptive immune response declines dramatically with age, but the cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving the changes characteristic of immune aging in humans remain poorly understood. One hallmark of immune aging is the loss of self-renewing naive cells and the accumulation of differentiated but dysfunctional cells within the CD8 T cell compartment. Using ATAC-seq, we first inferred the transcription factor binding activities that maintain the naive and central and effector memory CD8 T cell states in young adults. Integrating our results with RNA-seq, we determined that BATF, ETS1, Eomes, and Sp1 govern transcription networks associated with specific CD8 T cell subset properties, including activation and proliferative potential. Extending our analysis to aged humans, we found that the differences between memory and naive CD8 T cells were largely preserved across age, but that naive and central memory cells from older individuals exhibited a shift toward a more differentiated pattern of chromatin openness. Additionally, aged naive cells displayed a loss in chromatin openness at gene promoters, a phenomenon that appears to be due largely to a loss in binding by NRF1, leading to a marked drop-off in the ability of the naive cell to initiate transcription of mitochondrial genes. Our findings identify BATF- and NRF1-driven gene regulation as targets for delaying CD8 T cell aging and restoring T cell function.</p>

Transcriptional profiling of human KIR+ and KIR- CD8 T cells by bulk RNA-seq

Project description:Previous reports show that Ly49+CD8+ T cells can suppress autoimmunity in mouse models of autoimmune diseases. Here we find a markedly increased frequency of CD8+ T cells expressing inhibitory Killer cell Immunoglobulin like Receptors (KIR), the human equivalents of the Ly49 family, in the blood and inflamed tissues of various human autoimmune diseases. Moreover, KIR+CD8+ T cells can efficiently eliminate pathogenic gliadin-specific CD4+ T cells from Celiac disease (CeD) patients’ leukocytes in vitro. Furthermore, we observe elevated levels of KIR+CD8+ T cells, but not CD4+ regulatory T cells, in COVID-19 and influenza-infected patients, and correlate with disease severity and vasculitis in COVID-19. Expanded KIR+CD8+ T cells from these different diseases display shared phenotypes and similar T cell receptor sequences. These results characterize a regulatory CD8+ T cell subset in humans, broadly active in both autoimmune and infectious diseases, which we hypothesize functions to control self-reactive or otherwise pathogenic T cells.

Project description:Human ageing affects the immune system resulting in an overall decline in immunocompetence. Although all immune cells are affected during aging, the functional capacity of T cells is most influenced and is linked to decreased responsiveness to infections and impaired differentiation. We studied age-related changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from younger and older individuals. We observed marked difference between T cell subsets, with increased number of methylation changes and higher methylome variation in CD8+ T cells with age. The majority of age-related hypermethylated sites were located at CpG islands of silent genes and enriched for repressive histone marks. Specifically, in CD8+ T cell subset we identified strong inverse correlation between methylation and expression levels in genes associated with T cell mediated immune response (LGALS1, IFNG, CCL5, GZMH, CCR7, CD27 and CD248) and differentiation (SATB1, TCF7, BCL11B and RUNX3). Our results thus suggest the link between age-related epigenetic changes and impaired T cell function.

Newborn and child-like molecular signatures in older adults stem from TCR shifts across human lifespan

Project description:CD8+ T-cells provide robust anti-viral immunity, yet how epitope-specific T-cells evolve across the human lifespan is unknown. We defined CD8+ T-cell immunity directed at the prominent influenza epitope, HLA-A*02:01-M158-66 (A2/M158) across four age groups (newborns, children, adults and elderly) ex vivo at phenotypic, single cell sequence (transcriptomic), clonal and functional levels. We identified a linear differentiation trajectory from newborns to children then adults, followed by divergence and a clonal reset in older adults. Gene profiles in older adults closely resembled those observed in newborns and children, despite being clonally-different. However, only child- and adult-derived A2/M158+CD8+ T-cells had the potential to differentiate into highly cytotoxic epitope-specific CD8+ T-cells, which was linked to highly functional public TCRab-signatures. Suboptimal TCRab-signatures detected in older adults led to poorer proliferation, polyfunctionality, avidity and recognition of peptide mutants, although displayed no signs of exhaustion. Our study suggests that priming T-cells at different stages of life might greatly affect CD8+ T-cell responses towards viral infections.

Aging time course

Project description:Transcriptional Profile of Aging in C. elegans Whole-genome analysis of gene expression during chronological aging of the worm provides a rich database of age-specific changes in gene expression and represents one way to distinguish among these models. Using a rigorous statistical model with multiple replicates, we find that a relatively small number of genes (only 164) show statistically significant changes in transcript levels as aging occurs (<1% of the genome). Expression of heat shock proteins decreases, while expression of certain transposases increases in older worms, and these findings are consistent with a higher mortality risk due to a failure in homeostenosis and destabilization of the genome in older animals. Finally, a specific subset of genes is coordinately altered both during chronological aging and in the transition from the reproductive form to the dauer, demonstrating a mechanistic overlap in aging between these two processes.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human KIR+ CD8 T cells by Smart-seq2

Project description:KIR+ CD8 T cells (Live CD3+CD56-TCRab+CD8+KIR+ cells) were sorted from the blood of healthy subjects (N=10) and patients with MS (N=2), SLE (N=6), or CeD (N=5) and subjected to single-cell RNA-seq analysis by Smart-seq2. In parallel, we also analyzed their T-cell receptor (TCR) α and β sequences. Unsupervised clustering of these KIR+CD8+ T cells by Seurat identified six clusters, with Clusters 1 to 3 mostly containing expanded KIR+CD8+ T cells (≥2 cells expressing same TCR) and Clusters 5 and 6 consisting of unexpanded cells expressing unique TCRs. There are common features shared by KIR+CD8+ T cells from healthy subjects and different diseases, yet there is also heterogeneity (i.e., upregulated type I IFN signaling and glycolysis in Clusters 2 and 3) associated with different diseases or treatments.

KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations in humans

Project description:We studied the heterogeneity among human KIR/NKG2A+CD8+ T cells. First, we found that KIRs and NKG2A are expressed on human CD8+ T cells in a mutually exclusive manner. Therefore, we compared KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells in regards to TCR overlap and transcriptomic profiles and demonstrated that KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations.

Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle

Project description:Human aging is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and functional impairment (sarcopenia). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to sarcopenia. We evaluated whether healthy aging was associated with a transcriptional profile reflecting mitochondrial impairment and whether resistance exercise could reverse this signature to that approximating a younger physiological age. Skeletal muscle biopsies from healthy older (N = 25) and younger (N = 26) adult men and women were compared using gene expression profiling, and a subset of these were related to measurements of muscle strength. 14 of the older adults had muscle samples taken before and after a six-month resistance exercise-training program. Before exercise training, older adults were 59% weaker than younger, but after six months of training in older adults, strength improved significantly (P<0.001) such that they were only 38% lower than young adults. As a consequence of age, we found 596 genes differentially expressed using a false discovery rate cut-off of 5%. Prior to the exercise training, the transcriptome profile showed a dramatic enrichment of genes associated with mitochondrial function with age. However, following exercise training the transcriptional signature of aging was markedly reversed back to that of younger levels for most genes that were affected by both age and exercise. We conclude that healthy older adults show evidence of mitochondrial impairment and muscle weakness, but that this can be partially reversed at the phenotypic level, and substantially reversed at the transcriptome level, following six months of resistance exercise training.
