CD39+ CD4+ conventional T cells with exhaustion traits and cytotoxic potential infiltrate tumors and expand upon CTLA4 blockade

ABSTRACT: CD4+ conventional T (Tconv) lymphocytes display an important role in tumor immunity; however, their contribution to tumor elimination remains poorly understood. Here we describe a subset of tumor-infiltrating Tconv cells characterized by the expression of CD39. In mouse cancer models CD39+ Tconv cells accumulate with tumor growth but are absent in lymphoid organs. Compared to tumor CD39- Tconv cells, CD39+ cells exhibit a cytotoxic and exhausted signature at the transcriptomic level, confirmed by high protein expression of co-inhibitory receptors and transcription factors related to exhaustion. Additionally, CD39+ Tconv cells show an increased production of INFg, Granzyme B, Perforin and CD107a, but a reduced production of TNF upon in vitro stimulation. In vivo, CTLA-4 blockage induces the expansion of CD39+ Tconv cells in the tumor, while maintaining their features of cytotoxicity and exhaustion. In breast cancer patients, CD39+ Tconv cells are found in tumors, and at lower frequency in the adjacent non-tumoral mammary tissue. CD39+ Tconv cells are also present in metastatic but not detected in non-metastatic lymph nodes and blood. Human tumor CD39+ Tconv cells constitute a heterogeneous cell population with features of exhaustion, impaired TNF production, and high expression of co-inhibitory receptors and CD107a. High gene expression of CD4 and ENTPD1 (CD39) in human tumor tissues correlates with higher overall survival rate in breast cancer patients. Our results identify CD39 as a biomarker of CD4+ T cells with characteristics of both exhaustion and cytotoxic potential and put forward CD39+ Tconv cells as pivotal players of the immune response against tumors.

RNASeq of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer

Project description:<p>Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a subset of dendritic cells with unique immunophenotypic properties and functions. While their role in antiviral immunity through production of type I interferons is well-established, their contributions to anti-tumor immunity are less clear. While some evidence demonstrates that pDC in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may drive CD4+ T cell to become <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/50943">Foxp3</a>+ T regulatory cells, little is understood about the relationship of pDC with cytotoxic CD8+ T cell, the key player in antitumor immune responses.</p> <p>In this study, we perform comprehensive immunophenotyping and functional analysis of pDC from the TME and draining lymph nodes of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and identify a novel pDC subset characterized by expression of the TNF receptor superfamily member <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=7293">CD134 (OX40)</a>. We show that OX40 expression is expressed on intratumoral pDC in both humans and mice in a tumor-model specific fashion and that this subset of pDC enhances tumor associated-antigen (TAA)-specific CD8+ T cell responses. Through transcriptomic profiling of OX40-expressing pDC from the TME, we further characterize gene signatures unique to this pDC subset that support its role as an important immunostimulatory immune population in the TME.</p>

Gene expression anaylsis of tumor stimulated human NK cells

Project description:Genome wide expression profiling of human NK cells stimulated with K562 erythroleukemic tumor cells after four hours of NK-tumor co-culture. Responding NK cells were compared to non-responding NK cells, delineated by display of CD107 on the NK cell surface following cytotoxic granule release. We hypothesized that tumor responses would initiate rapid changes in gene expression in the NK cell that would identify new features of the anti-tumor response of NK cells. Results identify NK cell activation responses and induction of TNF superfamily molecules with immunoregulatory activity. Human peripheral blood NK cells were co-cultured with tumor target cell line K562 for 4 hours with GolgiStop (brefeldin) then stained for granule exocytosis marker CD107a / CD107b, and NK cell markers then FACS sorted for responding NK cells (CD107+) and non-responding NK cells (CD107-). Pooled donor sample comprised NK cells from 3 individuals.

CD39 expression identifies terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells

Project description:Exhausted T cells express multiple co-inhibitory molecules that impair their function and limit immunity to chronic viral infection. Defining novel markers of exhaustion is important both for identifying and potentially reversing T cell exhaustion. Herein, we show that the ectonucleotidse CD39 is a marker of exhausted CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cells specific for HCV or HIV express high levels of CD39, but those specific for EBV and CMV do not. CD39 expressed by CD8+ T cells in chronic infection is enzymatically active, co-expressed with PD-1, marks cells with a transcriptional signature of T cell exhaustion and correlates with viral load in HIV and HCV. In the mouse model of chronic Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus infection, virus-specific CD8+ T cells contain a population of CD39high CD8+ T cells that is absent in functional memory cells elicited by acute infection. This CD39high CD8+ T cell population is enriched for cells with the phenotypic and functional profile of terminal exhaustion. These findings provide a new marker of T cell exhaustion, and implicate the purinergic pathway in the regulation of T cell exhaustion. CD8+ T cells from subjects with HCV infection were sorted and pelleted and re-suspended in TRIzol (Invitrogen). RNA extraction was performed using the RNAdvance Tissue Isolation kit (Agencourt). Concentrations of total RNA were determined with a Nanodrop spectrophotometer or Ribogreen RNA quantification kits (Molecular Probes/Invitrogen). RNA purity was determined by Bioanalyzer 2100 traces (Agilent Technologies). Total RNA was amplified with the WT-Ovation Pico RNA Amplification system (NuGEN) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After fragmentation and biotinylation, cDNA was hybridized to HG-U133A 2.0 microarrays (Affymetrix).

Targeting SNX9 rescues CD28-mediated T cell exhaustion for cancer immunotherapy - Targeted Pooled CRISPR Screen for T cell Exhaustion

Project description:Tumor-specific T cells are frequently exhausted by chronic antigenic stimulation. To explore new pathways for reinvigoration of anti-tumor immune functions, we developed a human ex vivo exhaustion model by repetitive antigenic stimulation of primary CD8 T cells. This results in T cells that resemble patient-derived T cells in tumors on a phenotypic and transcriptional level. A pooled targeted CRISPR screen was performed on ex vivo exhausted T cells. The readout was elevated CD107a degranulation after repetitive stimulation (CD107a+ vs CD107- cells after 4h co-culture with peptide loaded tumor cells).

Revealing and harnessing CD39 for the treatment of colorectal cancer and liver metastases by engineered T cells [NanoString]

Project description:Colorectal tumors are often densely infiltrated by immune cells that have a role in surveillance and modulation of tumor progression but are burdened by exhaustion mechanisms fueled by the tumor microenvironment, which must be counteracted to achieve control. Here, we deployed a multidimensional approach to unravel the T cell functional landscape in tumor and peritumoral tissues from primary colorectal cancers and liver metastases. We found that T-cells are mainly localized at the front edge and that tumor-infiltrating T cells co-express multiple inhibitory receptors and highlighted CD39 as the major driver of exhaustion in both primary and metastatic colorectal tumors. By CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools, we simultaneously redirected T-cell specificity employing a novel T-cell receptor targeting the HER-2 antigen, and disrupted CD39, thus generating triple-knockout engineered lymphocytes. We showed that the absence of CD39 confers HER2-specific T cells a functional advantage in eliminating HER2+ patient-derived organoids, starring the relevance of the CD39 axis for further exploitation in adoptive T-cell therapy strategies to treat primary and metastatic colorectal cancer.
