A unique epigenomic landscape defines CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells

ABSTRACT: Memory T cells provide rapid and long-term protection against infection and tumors. The memory CD8+ T cell repertoire contains phenotypically and transcriptionally heterogeneous subsets with specialized functions and recirculation patterns. While these T cell populations have been well characterized in terms of differentiation potential and function, the epigenetic changes underlying memory T cell fate determination and tissue-residency remain largely unexplored. Here, we examined the single-cell chromatin landscape of CD8+ T cells over the course of acute viral infection. We reveal an early bifurcation of memory precursors displaying distinct chromatin accessibility and define epigenetic trajectories that lead to a circulating (TCIRC) or tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell fate. While TRM cells displayed a conserved epigenetic signature across organs, we demonstrate that these cells exhibit tissue-specific signatures and identify transcription factors that regulate TRM cell populations in a site-specific manner. Moreover, we demonstrate that TRM cells and exhausted T (TEX) cells are distinct epigenetic lineages that are distinguishable early in their differentiation. Together, these findings show that TRM cell development is accompanied by dynamic alterations in chromatin accessibility that direct a unique transcriptional program resulting in a tissue-adapted and functionally distinct T cell state.

Molecular signature of brain resident memory CD8+ T cells

Project description:Tissue resident memory (Trm) represent a newly described memory T cell population. We have previously characterized a population of Trm that persists within the brain following acute virus infection. Although capable of providing marked protection against a subsequent local challenge, brain Trm do not undergo recall expansion following dissociation from the tissue. Furthermore, these Trm do not depend on the same survival factors as the circulating memory T cell pool as assessed either in vivo or in vitro. To gain greater insight into this population of cells we compared the gene-expression profiles of Trm isolated from the brain to circulating memory T cells isolated from the spleen following an acute virus infection. Trm displayed altered expression of genes involved in chemotaxis, expressed a distinct set of transcription factors and overexpressed several inhibitory receptors. Cumulatively, these data indicates that Trm are a distinct memory T cell population disconnected from the circulating memory T cell pool and displaying a unique molecular signature which likely results in optimal survival and function within their local environment. 13 samples were analyzed: 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+.CD103- T cells isolated from the spleen of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA. 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+CD103+ T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA; and 3 replicates of memory OT-I.CD8+ CD103- T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA

Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells possess unique transcriptional, epigenetic and functional adaptations to different tissue environments [TRMinTissues scRNA-seq]

Project description:CD8+ memory T cells are critical components of protective immunity to intracellular pathogens and tumors. While many memory CD8+ T cells recirculate throughout the body, others remain lodged in tissues and guard common sites of pathogen entry. Contributions of the specific tissue environment to tissue-resident memory T cell (Trm) differentiation and homeostasis have been implicated but are not well understood. Here, we define the diversity of gene expression and genome accessibility by mouse CD8+ Trm populations in distinct organs and identify molecules critical for Trm generated in response to acute viral infection. We find that CD8+ TRM across different tissues possess both shared and tissue-specific transcriptional and epigenetic signatures. Notably, Trm in the intestine and salivary gland express TGFb-induced genes and are maintained by ongoing TGFb signaling while those in the fat, kidney, and liver are not. By constructing transcriptional-regulatory networks for each Trm population, we identify the repressor Hic1 as a critical regulator of Trm differentiation, particularly for Trm of the small intestine. This study provides a framework for understanding how Trm adapt to distinct tissue environments and identifies tissue-specific transcriptional regulators that mediate these adaptations, informing strategies to enhance protective memory responses at the sites most vulnerable to infection.

Development pathway for skin resident memory CD103+CD8+ T cells

Project description:Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) provide superior protection against infection localised to extra-lymphoid compartments in the body. Here we show that CD103+CD8+ TRM cells develop in skin from killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR)G1-negative precursors that selectively infiltrate the epithelial layer. In the skin, a combination of chemokine-guided epithelial entry, local interleukin (IL)-15 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-Î² signalling is required for formation and survival of these long-lived memory cells. Importantly, TRM differentiation results in the gradual acquisition of a unique transcriptional profile that differs from that expressed by memory cells in the circulation and other types of skin-resident intra-epithelial T cells, such as the dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC). We provide a comprehensive molecular and developmental framework for the local differentiation of a distinct type of peripheral memory T cell that contributes to an important first-line of immune defence in barrier tissues such as skin and mucosa. 24 samples were analyzed: 3 replicates of memory gB-T CD8+. CD103+ T cells isolated from the skin of C57/BL6 mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of memory P14 CD8+ T cells isolated from gut of mice on day 60 p.i. with LCMV Armstrong. 3 replicates of memory gB-T CD8+ T cells from the lung of mice on day 30 p.i. with influenza WSN. 3 replicates of memory CD62L high CD8+ T cells from the spleen of mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of memory CD62L low CD8+ T cells from the spleen of mice of day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of Î³Î´-DETC isolated from the skin of C57/BL6 mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of Î±Î²-DETC from naive TCRÎ´-/- mice; and 3 replicates of naive gB-T CD8+ T cells from the spleen of naive gB-T transgenic mice.

RNA-Seq of CD8+ T cell subsets in B16-GP33 tumor

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (Trm) provide host protection through continuous surveillance of non-lymphoid tissues. While the relevance of Trm in diverse diseases ranging from infection to cancer is appreciated, the development and functional heterogeneity of Trm remain poorly understood. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and genetic reporter mice, we identified discrete lineages of intestinal antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, including a Blimp1hiId3lo tissue-resident effector cell population most prominent in the early phase of acute viral and bacterial infections, and a molecularly distinct Blimp1loId3hi tissue-resident memory population that subsequently accumulated at later infection timepoints. These distinct Trm populations where characterized by unique transcriptional programs including differential roles for transcriptional regulators Blimp1, T-bet, Id2, and Id3 in supporting and maintaining intestinal Trm heterogeneity during infection. Extending our analysis to malignant tissue, we also identified discrete populations of effector-like and memory-like CD8+ T cell populations with tissue-resident gene-expression signatures within tumors that shared features of terminally-exhausted and progenitor-exhausted T cells, respectively. Clarification of CD8+ T cell ontogeny and heterogeneity in non-lymphoid tissues holds broad implications for enhancing vaccination and immunotherapy approaches.
