CXCR3 regulates stem and proliferative CD8+ T cells during chronic infection by promoting interactions with DCs in splenic bridging channels

ABSTRACT: Production of armed effector CD8+ T cells during persistent infection requires a stable pool of stem-like cells that can give rise to short-lived effector T cells via a proliferative intermediate population. In chronic infection models marked by T cell exhaustion, this process can be transiently induced by check-point blockade, but it occurs spontaneously and continuously in the spleens of mice chronically infected with the protozoan intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, providing a unique opportunity to examine the steps in the differentiation process. Using this model, we observed distinct locations and gene expression patterns for stem-like memory cells, proliferative intermediate cells, and terminally differentiated effector cells, implying a link between differentiation and discrete anatomical niches in the spleen. Loss of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 on parasite-specific T cells did not impair their white pulp to red pulp migration but reduced their interactions with CXCR3 ligand-producing type 2 conventional DCs in the bridging channels and impaired their transition from memory to intermediate states, leading to a build up of memory T cells localized to the red pulp. These results demonstrate a critical role for CXCR3 during chronic infection by increasing T cell exposure to differentiation-inducing signals during red pulp migration, providing a dynamic and flexible mechanism for modulating effector differentiation in response to environmental signals.

CXCL10 regulates heterogenity of the CD8+ T cell response and viral set point during chronic infection

Project description:CD8+ T cell responses to chronic infection are sustained by stem-like cells, which differentiate into effector-like cells mediating some level of pathogen control; however persistent antigen progressively impairs their effector functions. Understanding the molecular control of stem-like cell differentiation to improve durability of functional T cell responses has important therapeutic implications. Here, we found that the chemokine receptor CXCR3 was highly expressed on viral-specific stem-like CD8+ T cells and that one of its ligands, CXCL10, regulated the persistence and heterogeneity of responding CD8+ T cells in spleens of mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. CXCL10 was produced by inflammatory monocytes and fibroblasts of the splenic red pulp where it granted stem-like cells access to signals promoting differentiation and limited their exposure to pro-survival niches in the white pulp. Consequently, the magnitude of functional CD8+ T cell responses was greater in Cxcl10-/- mice and was associated with a lower viral set point.

Transcriptional profiles of CCR7lo effector memory human T cell subsets

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify differentially-expressed genes in CCR4hi/CXCR3- and CCR4lo CXCR3+ CCR6+ human Th17 cell subsets Human CD45RO+ memory T cells isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy adult donors were sorted into 4 predominant CCR7lo CD25- effector memory subsets: (1) Th1 - CCR6- CCR4lo CXCR3+; (2) Th2 - CCR6- CCR4hi CXCR3+; (3) Th17 - CCR6+ CCR4hi CXCR3-; (4) Th17.1 - CCR6+ CCR4lo CXCR3-. Sorted cells were cultured in media and activated via anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads for 36 hours. All subsets were then harvested and used for RNA extraction and microarray experiments. Th1 vs Th2; Th1 vs Th17; Th1 vs Th17.1; Th2 vs Th17; Th2 vs Th17.1; Th17 vs Th17.1

Tissue printing: splenic red pulp macrophages of once-malaria infected mice are transcriptionally identical to prenatally seeded red pulp macrophages from uninfected mice.

Project description:Acute malaria infection with P. chabaudi obliterates embryonically seeded tissue-resident red pulp macrophages in the spleen of C57Bl/6J mice - regardless of whether the infection is mild (mosquito transmitted P. chabaudi AS - no hyperparasitaemia, no measurable clinical manifestations of disease other than low-grade anaemia) or severe (mosquito transmitted P. chabaudi AJ - acute hyperparasitaemia, severe anaemia, hypothermia and prostration). Red pulp macrophages return 100 days later, once mice cleared parasitaemia. We then flow sorted 10,000 red pulp macrophages (lineage-, autofluorescent, F4/80+, B220-, CD11bint, CD11cint) directly into Trizol, extracted total RNA and analysed their transciptome using the affymetrix mouse exon 1.0 ST array. Red pulp macrophages from mice once infected with mild AS or severe AJ P. chabaudi parasites were compared to uninfected age-matched mice. We uncover that red pulp macrophages isolated from the spleens of once-malaria infected mice are transcriptionally identical to prenatally seeded red pulp macrophages from uninfected mice. The spleen tissue niche thus imprints an identical functional profile onto these cells - regardless of their origin.

Acc1 determines memory potential of individual CD4+ T cells by regulating de novo fatty acid biosynthesis [microarray]

Project description:Immunological memory is central to adaptive immunity and protection from disease. Changing metabolic demands as antigen-specific T cells transition from effector to memory have been well documented, but the cell-specific pathways and molecules that govern this transition are poorly defined. ACC1 is a rate-limiting enzym in fatty acid biosynthesis. We show that genetic deletion of ACC1 enhanced the formation of CD4+ T cell memory, and that inhibition of ACC1 function enhanced memory T cell formation during parasite infection in mice. ACC1-deficient effector Th cells had similar metabolic signatures to wild-type memory Th cells, and Acaca expression was inversely correlated with a memory gene signature in individual cells. Single cell analysis allowed us to identify a memory precursor-enriched population (CCR7hiCD137lo) present during early differentiation of effector CD4+ T cells. Thus, fatty acid metabolism directs cell fate determination during the generation of memory CD4+ T cells.

The chemokine receptor CXCR3 promotes CD8+ T cell dependent lung pathology during influenza pathogenesis

Project description:Purpose: A growing body of evidence highlights the association of exuberant CD8+ T cell responses with influenza acute lung injury. Given their indispensable role in viral clearance, we studied the double-edged function of CD8+ T cells as a bridge between infection resolution and lung pathology. Methods: we performed scRNA-Seq to study the cellular heterogeneity and regulation of cellular response in CD8+ T cells during peak viral (day 7) and post-viral resolution phase (day 14). Results: Our single-cell RNA-Seq data reveal significant differences in CD8+ T cell heterogeneity during different stages of influenza infection (peak viral load vs. infection resolved state). While CXCR3hi CD8+ T effector memory (Tem) was associated with a more robust cytotoxic response (compared to CXCR3low CD8+ T central memory, Tcm), both CD8+ Tem and Tcm exhibited equally potent effector function. The ablation of CXCR3 mitigates lung injury without affecting viral clearance. IFN-gamma was dispensable to the recruitment and regulation of cytotoxic response of CXCR3+ CD8+ T cells. Using scRNAseq, we identified unique regulons associated with regulating cytotoxic response in CXCR3hi CD8+ T cells. Conclusions: Collectively, our data identify CXCR3 as a potential therapeutic target to curb lung injury during influenza pathogenesis.

Effector differentiation potential determined at the level of human CD8+ naïve T cell subsets [microarray]

Project description:Antigen recognition by CD8+ naïve T cells induces immune activation and rapid effector differentiation that ensures elimination of virally-infected and malignant cells. While signals from the extracellular milieu and downstream of the TCR have long been known to play a crucial role, it is currently unknown whether heterogeneity within the naïve CD8+ T cell pool shapes the potency of effector differentiation. We report the identification of two discrete subsets of human CD8+ TN cells, defined by positive and negative expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, with different potential to generate fully-differentiated effector T cells following antigen-specific stimulation. The CXCR3+ are more abundant than the CXCR3– naïve in peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues, retain enhanced expression of effector-related genes ex vivo and display features of the T cell receptor chain repertoire indicating enhanced capacity to bind the peptide:major histocompatibility complex. Likewise, a phenotypically equivalent murine CD8+ naïve population expressing high levels of CD5, a surrogate indicator of enhanced TCR sensitivity for self, preferentially generates short-lived effector cells following infection. Our findings imply that CD8+ T cell effector differentiation potential in humans is shaped by heterogeneity in the preimmune repertoire

Gene expression profile analysis of CD8+ T cells isolated from splenic red and white pulp upon LCMV infection

Project description:We performed RNAseq analysis on CD8+ T cells isolated from splenic white and red pulp upon lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-Arm infection to understand how cell function and fate are determined. Analyses of transcriptional profiles revealed that decisions for gene expression patterns to become a memory cell were established during the early contraction phase by 11 days post infection (dpi) and their expression remained constant throughout the T cell development. This study may have important implication for development of efficacious vaccines.
