Tissue adaptation and clonal segregation of human memory T cells in barrier sites

ABSTRACT: T lymphocytes migrate to barrier sites after exposure to pathogen-derived antigens to provide localized immune defense and long-term surveillance. However, unique tissue adaptations of barrier T cells and the extent to which they participate in clonal networks remains unclear. In this study, we utilized our organ donor tissue resource to examine T cells in barrier sites (skin, lung, jejunum), their associated lymph nodes, other lymphoid tissues (spleen and bone marrow), and circulation. By integrating multiple single-cell protein and transcript profiling technologies, we demonstrate that human barrier sites contain site-adapted memory T cell populations, including tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) that exhibit both shared barrier TRM signatures and tissue-specific residency profiles. Additionally, incorporating T cell receptor and RNA-sequencing analysis, we show that lung T cell clones form global networks with clones in lymphoid sites and circulation, and comprise widely disseminated clones of TEM/TEMRA subset that display distinct effector phenotypes; while T cells in skin and jejunum are predominantly TRM and participate primarily in localized clonal networks with tissue-associated lymph nodes but are largely compartmentalized.

Human CD4+CD103+ cutaneous resident memory T cells are found in the circulation of healthy subjects

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) persist locally in non-lymphoid tissues where they provide front-line defense against recurring insults. TRM at barrier surfaces express the markers CD103 and/or CD69 which function to retain them in epithelial tissues. In humans, neither the long-term migratory behavior of TRM nor their ability to re-enter the circulation and potentially migrate to distant tissue sites have been investigated. Using tissue explant cultures, we found that CD4+CD69+CD103+ TRM in human skin can downregulate CD69 and exit the tissue. Additionally, we identified a skin-tropic CD4+CD69-CD103+ population in human lymph and blood that is transcriptionally, functionally and clonally related to the CD4+CD69+CD103+ TRM population in the skin. Using a skin xenograft model, we confirmed that a fraction of the human cutaneous CD4+CD103+ TRM population can re-enter circulation, and migrate to secondary human skin sites where they re-assume a TRM phenotype. Thus, our data challenge current concepts regarding the strict tissue compartmentalization of CD4+ T cell memory in humans.

Plasticity of intragraft alloreactive T cell clones in human gut correlates with transplant outcomes

Project description:The site of transition between tissue resident memory (TRM) and circulating phenotypes of T cells is unknown. We integrated clonotype, alloreactivity and gene expression profiles of graft-repopulating recipient T cells in the intestinal mucosa at the single cell level after human intestinal transplantation. Host-versus-graft (HvG)-reactive T cells mainly distributed to TRM, Teff/TRM and T follicular helper compartments. RNA velocity analysis demonstrated a trajectory from TRM to effector T (Teff)/TRM clusters in association with rejection. By integrating pre- and post-Tx mixed lymphocyte reaction-determined alloreactive repertoires, we observed that pre-existing HvG-reactive T cells that demonstrated tolerance in the circulation were dominated by TRM profiles in quiescent allografts. Putative de novo HvG-reactive clones showed a transcriptional profile skewed to cytotoxic effectors in rejecting grafts. Inferred protein regulon network analysis revealed upstream regulators that accounted for the effector and tolerant T cell states. We demonstrate Teff/TRM interchangeability for individual T cell clones with known (allo)recognition in human gut, providing novel insight into TRM biology.

Tissue-resident memory T cells mediate immune homeostasis in the human pancreas through the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway

Project description:We investigated the distinct state of pancreas resident memory T cells (TRM) by whole transcriptome profiling of sorted CD8+TRM cells from donor-matched pancreata, jejunum, and PLN compared to circulating blood CD8+TEM cells from living healthy donors. We identified 2029 genes differentially expressed in pancreas TRM with comparison to both PLN and jejunum TRM. Strong correlation was observed in the differentially upregulated and downregulated genes between pancreas vs. jejunum TRM and pancreas vs. PLN TRM which together define a pancreas-specific gene signature.

Retinoic acid signaling during priming licenses intestinal CD103+ CD8 TRM cell differentiation

Project description:CD8 tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide front-line protection at barrier tissues; however, mechanisms regulating TRM cell development are not completely understood. Priming dictates the migration of effector T cells to the tissue, while factors in the tissue induce in situ TRM cell differentiation. Whether priming also regulates in situ TRM cell differentiation uncoupled from migration is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that T cell priming in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) regulates CD103+ TRM cell differentiation in the intestine. In contrast, T cells primed in the spleen were impaired in the ability to differentiate into CD103+ TRM cells after entry into the intestine. MLN priming initiated a CD103+ TRM cell gene signature and licensed rapid CD103+ TRM cell differentiation in response to factors in the intestine. Licensing was regulated by retinoic acid signaling and primarily driven by factors other than CCR9 expression and CCR9-mediated gut homing. Thus, the MLN is specialized to promote intestinal CD103+ CD8 TRM cell development by licensing in situ differentiation.

Single-cell chimerism and transcriptional profiling identify long-term human skin-resident host T cells after stem cell transplantation

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) have recently emerged as crucial cellular players for host defense in a wide variety of tissues and barrier sites. Insights into the maintenance and regulatory checkpoints of human TRM cells remain scarce, especially due to the difficulties associated with tracking T cells over time and spatially in humans. We therefore aimed to identify and characterize skin resident T cells in humans defined by their long-term in situ lodgement. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation paired with myeloablative chemotherapy unmasked long-term sequestration of host T cell subsets in the human skin despite complete donor T cell chimerism in the blood. Single-cell chimerism analysis paired with single-cell transcriptional profiling comprehensively characterized these bona fide long-term skin resident T cells and revealed differential tissue maintenance for distinct T cell subsets, specific TRM cell markers such as galectin-3, but also tissue exit potential with retention of the transcriptomic TRM cell identity. Analysis of 26 patients revealed profound interindividual variation in the tissue maintenance of host skin T cells and excluded a role for host T cells for the pathogenesis of chronic GvHD. Our data exemplify the power of exploiting a clinical situation as a proof-of-concept for the existence of bona fide human skin TRM cells and reveal long-term persistence of host immunity in the peripheral tissue but not in the circulation or bone marrow for a subset of patients.

Human lymph nodes maintain a unique subset of resident memory T cells with high functional potential important for protective immunity and immunotherapies

Project description:Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) predominate in barrier sites and mediate protective immunity, while their role in lymphoid tissues is undefined. Here we analyzed memory CD8+ T cells in different lymphoid compartments including bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes (LN) relative to lung within diverse individuals. We identify an organ-specific subset in human LN (TLN) not found in blood or other tissues, expressing high levels of TCF-1 and transcriptionally enriched for markers of quiescence, self-renewal and follicular-helper cells. High dimensional CyTOF analysis reveals TLN as intermediate in differentiation between naive and TRM cells, with circulating memory T cells the most differentiated. TLN exhibit higher TCR diversity, lower in vivo turnover, yet higher proliferative responses compared to memory cells in other lymphoid or mucosal sites. These findings establish human LN as reservoirs for diverse memory T cells poised for high expansion and TLN as important targets for in vivo immunotherapies.

Single-cell sequencing of tissue-resident CD4+ T cells that drive compartmentalized immunopathology in the CNS

Project description:In chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), immune cells persisting behind the blood-brain barrier are supposed to promulgate local tissue destruction. The drivers of such compartmentalized inflammation remain unclear, but tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) represent a potentially important cellular player in this process

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.
