Closed chromatin of the CXCR5 gene due to DNA hypermethylation limits trafficking potential of CD8+ T cells into B cell follicles during HIV-1 clade C infection

ABSTRACT: CD8+ T cells play an important role in HIV control. However, in human lymph nodes (LNs), only a small subset of CD8+ T cells expresses CXCR5, the chemokine receptor required for cell migration into B cell follicles, which are major sanctuaries for HIV persistence in individuals on therapy. Here, we investigate the impact of HIV infection on follicular CD8+ T cells (fCD8s) frequencies, trafficking pattern and CXCR5 regulation. We show that, although HIV infection results in a marginal increase of fCD8s in LN, the majority of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells are CXCR5 negative (non-fCD8s) (p<0.003). Mechanistic investigations using ATAC-seq showed that non-fCD8s have closed chromatin at the CXCR5 transcriptional start site (TSS). DNA bisulfite sequencing identified DNA hypermethylation at the CXCR5 TSS as the most probable cause of closed chromatin. Transcriptional factor footprints analysis revealed enrichment of transforming growth factors (TGFs) at the TSS of fCD8s. In40 vitro stimulation of non-fCD8s with recombinant TGF-β resulted in significant increase in CXCR5 expression (fCD8s). Thus, this study identifies TGF-β signaling as a viable strategy for increasing fCD8s frequencies in follicular areas of the LN where they are needed to eliminate HIV infected cells, with implications for HIV cure strategies. ~

Cytolytic CD8+ T cells infiltrate germinal centers to limit ongoing HIV replication in spontaneous controller lymph nodes

Project description:Follicular CD8+ T cells (fCD8) mediate surveillance in lymph node (LN) germinal centers against lymphotropic infections and cancers, but precise mechanisms by which these cells mediate immune control remain incompletely resolved. To address this, we investigated functionality, clonotypic compartmentalization, spatial localization, phenotypic characteristics, and transcriptional profiles of LN-resident virus-specific CD8+ T cells in persons who control HIV without medications. Antigen-induced proliferative and cytolytic potential consistently distinguished spontaneous controllers from noncontrollers. T cell receptor analysis revealed complete clonotypic overlap between peripheral and LN-resident HIV-specific CD8+ T cells. Transcriptional analysis of LN CD8+ T cells revealed gene signatures of inflammatory chemotaxis and antigen-induced effector function. In HIV controllers, the cytotoxic effectors perforin and granzyme B were elevated among virus-specific CXCR5+ fCD8s proximate to foci of HIV RNA within germinal centers. These results provide evidence consistent with cytolytic control of lymphotropic infection supported by inflammatory recruitment, antigen-specific proliferation, and cytotoxicity of fCD8s.

Transcriptional analysis of human blood CXCR5+ CD4 T cell populations

Project description:The vast majority of currently licensed human vaccines work on the basis of long-term protective antibody responses. Generation of long term humoral immunity is a complex process predominantly dependent on germinal centers and CD4 T cell help to B cells. Follicular helper T cells (Tfh) are the specialized CD4 T cells for B cell help. However, whether such cells develop memory in humans and can be tracked in human blood has been enigmatic. We identified a subpopulation of blood CXCR5+ PD-1+CXCR3- resting CD4 T cells that are most related to Tfh cells of lymphoid tissue by gene expression profile and phenotype. Functional analysis showed that these memory Tfh cells were specialized for helping B cells. Moreover, these cells correlate with a clinically important outcome: development of potent neutralizing antibodies against HIV in HIV+ individuals. CD4 T cells were enriched from fresh blood of 5 normal donors by magnetic beads negative selection. Following enrichment, CD14-CD16-CD19-CD8-CD4+CD45RA- cells from each donor were FACS sorted into the following 5 populations: CXCR5-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3+, CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3-, and CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3+. The gene expression profile of each cell population was determined.

Transcriptional profiles of sorted CD8+ and CD4+ memory T cells from CP and NP and unvaccinated control RM 7 days prior to, and 4 and 14 days after wt SIVmac239 challenge by microarray analysis.

Project description:Live-attenuated SIV vaccines (LAVs) remain the most efficacious of all vaccines in nonhuman primate models of HIV/AIDS, yet the basis of their robust protection remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the degree of LAV-mediated protection against intravenous (IV) wildtype (wt) SIVmac239 challenge strongly correlates with the magnitude and function of SIV-specific, effector-differentiated T cells in lymph node (LN), but not with such T cell responses in blood or with other cellular, humoral and innate immune parameters. Maintenance of protective T cell responses was associated with persistent LAV replication in LN, which occurred almost exclusively in follicular helper T cells. Thus, effective LAVs maintain lymphoid tissue-based, effector-differentiated, SIV-specific T cells that intercept and suppress early wt SIV amplification and, if present in sufficient frequencies, can completely control and perhaps clear infection -- an observation that provides rationale for development of safe, persistent vectors that can elicit and maintain such responses. There are two protection outcome groups, complete protect (CP) and non-protect (NP) animals. Memory T cells (CD4+ or CD8+) were sorted for three time points, seven days pre-challenge, four days post-challenge and fourteen days post-challenge.

Role of NKG2a/c + CD8 + T cells in pathogenic versus non-pathogenic SIV infections

Project description:Some viruses have established an equilibrium with their host. African green monkeys (AGM) display persistent high viral replication in blood and intestine during Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection but resolve systemic inflammation after acute infection and lack intestinal immune or tissue damage during chronic infection. We show that NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells increase in blood and intestine of AGM in response to SIVagm infection in contrast to SIVmac infection in macaques, the latter modeling HIV infection. NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells were not expanded in lymph nodes and CXCR5 + NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cell frequencies further decreased after SIV infection. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells from AGM revealed the expression of NK cell receptors, and of molecules with cytotoxic effector, gut homing, immunoregulatory and gut barrier function, including CD73. NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells correlated negatively with IL-23 in the intestine during SIVmac infection. The data suggest a potential regulatory role of NKG2 a/c + CD8 + T cells in intestinal inflammation during SIV/HIV infections.

Next Generation Sequencing for Quantitative Analysis of transcriptome of follicular compared to non-follicular CD8 T cells from HIV+ Lymph nodes

Project description:The goal of the study was to characterize the molecular signatures of CD8 T cell subpopulations sorted from HIV+ lymph nodes and HIV- tonsils. We compared the transcriptome profiles of follicular and non -foliccular CD8 T cells (sorted based on the surface expression fo CCR7 and CXCR5, chemokine receptors that govern the intratissue trafficking of T cells). This is the first study addressing this question. We found several genes differentially expressed in these two CD8 T cell populations. Our pathway analysis revealed that several pathways related to costimulation/activation as well as to beta-catenin pathway were differentially expressed in these two CD8 t cell populations too.

Follicular CXCR5-expressing CD8 T cells curtail chronic viral infection [RNA-seq]

Project description:In mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), we defined a subset of exhausted CD8+ T cells abundantly expressing chemokine receptor CXCR5. These CXCR5+ CD8+ T cells were preferentially localized in B cell follicles, expressing less inhibitory receptors while exhibiting more potent cytolytic activity compared to the CXCR5- subset. Furthermore, we identified Id2-E2A axis as the regulator for the generation of this subset. In line with mouse LCMV chronic infection, we also identified a CXCR5+ CD8+ T cell subset in human HIV patients, which negatively correlated with viral load. Moreover, when adoptively transferred to chronically infected recipients, CXCR5+ subset showed greater therapeutic potential than CXCR5- subset.

Decreased TFR/TFH ratio in SIV-infected rhesus macaques may contribute to accumulation of TFH cells in chronic infection

Project description:T follicular helper cells (TFH) are critical for the development and maintenance of germinal centers (GC) and humoral immune responses. During chronic HIV/SIV infection TFH accumulate, possibly as a result of antigen persistence. The HIV/SIV-associated TFH expansion may also reflect lack of regulation by suppressive follicular regulatory CD4+ T-cells (TFR). TFR are natural regulatory T-cells (TREG) that migrate into the follicle and, similarly to TFH, up-regulate CXCR5, Bcl-6, and PD1. Here we identified TFR as CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CXCR5+PD1hiBcl-6+ within lymph nodes of rhesus macaques (RM) and confirmed their localization within the GC by immunohistochemistry. RNA sequencing showed that TFR exhibit a distinct transcriptional profile with shared features of both TFH and TREG, including intermediate expression of FoxP3, Bcl-6, PRDM1, IL-10, and IL-21. In healthy, SIV-uninfected RM, we observed a negative correlation between frequencies of TFR and both TFH and GC B-cells as well as levels of CD4+ T-cell proliferation. Following SIV infection, the TFR/TFH ratio was reduced with no change in the frequency of TREG or TFR within the total CD4+ T-cell pool. Finally, we examined whether higher levels of direct virus infection of TFR were responsible for their relative depletion post-SIV infection. We found that TFH, TFR and TREG sorted from SIV- infected RM harbor comparable levels of cell-associated viral DNA. Our data suggests that TFR may contribute to the regulation and proliferation of TFH and GC B-cells in vivo and that a decreased TFR/TFH ratio in chronic SIV infection may lead to unchecked expansion of both TFH and GC B-cells. TFR, TFH, TREG and bulk CD4 cells were sorted from spleens of 5 uninfected and 5 infected RM.
