Small intestine and colon tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells exhibit transcriptional, epigenetic, and functional heterogeneity in concert with differential dependence on Eomesodermin [CITE-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tissue-resident memory CD8+T (TRM) cells are a distinct component of the memory T cell armamentarium found in many tissues. Recent studies have shown disparities among TRM cells across tissues, but it is unknown whether there is heterogeneity among TRM cells from differentanatomic compartments of the small intestine and colon. Herewe show that intestinal TRM cells exhibit distinctive patterns of cytokine and granzyme expression, along with substantial transcriptional, epigenetic, and functional heterogeneity. We elucidate unexpected tissue- and context-specific regulatory roles for the T-box transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes), previously described to repressskin, liver, and kidney TRM cell formation, in promoting the maintenance of established TRM cells in the small intestine, but not in the colon. Taken together, these data provide previously unappreciated insights into the heterogeneity and differential requirements for the formation vs. maintenance of TRMcells from the small intestine and colon.
