SARS-CoV-2 infection establishes an enhanced, stable, and age-independent CD8+ T cell response against a dominant nucleocapsid epitope using highly restricted TCRs

ABSTRACT: In vitro antigenic challenge identified N222-230 (LLLDRLNQL referred to as LLL) as a dominant epitope that elicited the greatest response (number of responders and magnitude of expansion) from both convalescent and uninfected donors. Analysis of scTCRseq of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells using scTCRseq revealed highly restricted V-gene usage (TRAV12-2) with limited CDR3 motifs, which was supported by structural characterization of a TCR–LLL–HLA-A2 complex. Lastly, transcriptome analysis of CD8+ T cells between expanders and non-expanders identified increased gene expressions associated with differentiation of CD8+ T cells from non- expanders which are shared across the different subsets in a TCR-independent manner. These results show that SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in significantly enhanced proliferation of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells and suggest that an altered transcriptome is the underlying mechanism controlling activation-induced expansion of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells.

T cell receptors repertoire sequencing of the human CD8+ naive subsets (CXCR3-,CXCR3+)

Project description:The presented data corresponds to the analysis of two discrete subsets of human CD8+ naive T cells, defined by positive and negative expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 (TNR3-, TNR3+). In this study we demonstrated that these subsets have different potential to generate fully-differentiated effector T cells following antigen-specific stimulation. The performed systematic immune repertoire analysis (T cell receptor beta chain (TRB)) of the sorted cell subsets revealed diverse physico-chemical properties of TRB CDR3 sequences suggesting enhanced TCR self-reactivity in human TNR3+ cells. In total, we analyzed 74 samples (from 11 patients, 3 replicates of each cell subset (excluding one missing replicate) and additionally for 3 patients CD8+ memory T cells in 3 replicates). We used the Human TCR Profiling Kit (MiLaboratory LLC) for sequencing libraries preparation and Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencing (150+150bp) followed by the demultiplexing procedure using MIGEC software (https://github.com/mikessh/migec).

Neuro-PASC is characterized by enhanced CD4+ and diminished CD8+ T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein

Project description:Many people experiencing long COVID symptoms, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), suffer from debilitating neurologic symptoms (Neuro-PASC). Although symptoms of Neuro-PASC are widely documented, it is still unclear whether virus-specific adaptive immunity is affected in these individuals. We report that Neuro-PASC patients exhibit distinct immunological signatures composed of elevated CD4+ T cell responses toward the C-terminal region of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein when examined both functionally and using TCR sequencing. In contrast, Neuro-PASC patients also have diminished activation of CD8+ memory T cells and increased IL-6 production to Nucleocapsid. Elevated plasma immunoregulatory and reduced pro-inflammatory and antiviral response signatures were evident in Neuro-PASC patients compared with COVID convalescent controls without lasting symptoms, correlating with worse neurocognitive dysfunction. These data provide new insight into the impact of virus-specific cellular immunity on the pathogenesis of long COVID and pave the way for the rational design of predictive biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.

Recruitment of highly cytotoxic CD8+ T cell receptors in mild SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:T cell immunity is crucial for the control of SARS-CoV-2 infections and has been widely studied on a quantitative level. However, quality of responses, in particular of CD8+ T cells, has only been marginally investigated so far. Here, we isolated T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires specific for immunodominant SARS-CoV-2 epitopes restricted to common Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) class I molecules in convalescent individuals. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells were detected up to twelve months from infection. TCR repertoires were diverse, with heterogeneous functional avidity and cytotoxicity towards virus-infected cells, as demonstrated for TCR-engineered T cells. High TCR functionality correlated with gene signatures that, remarkably, could be retrieved for each epitope:HLA combination analyzed. Overall, our data demonstrate that polyclonal and highly functional CD8+ TCRs – classical features of protective immunity - are recruited upon mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, providing tools to assess the quality and to potentially restore functional CD8+ T cell immunity.

Rapid TCR:Epitope Ranker (RAPTER): A primary human T cell reactivity screening assay pairing epitope and TCR at single cell resolution

Project description:Identifying epitopes that T cells respond to is critical to understanding T cell-mediated immunity. Traditional multimer and other single cell assays often require large blood volumes and/or expensive HLA-specific reagents and provide limited phenotypic and functional information. Here, we present the Rapid TCR:Epitope Ranker (RAPTER) assay, a single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-SEQ) method that uses primary human T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) to assess functional T cell reactivity at single cell resolution. Using hash-tag oligonucleotide (HTO) coding and T cell activation-induced markers (AIM), RAPTER defines paired epitope specificity and TCR sequence and can include RNA- and protein-level T cell phenotype information. We demonstrate that RAPTER identified specific reactivities to viral and tumor antigens at sensitivities as low as 0.15% of total CD8+ T cells, and deconvoluted low-frequency circulating HPV16-specific T cell clones from a cervical cancer patient. The specificities of TCRs identified by RAPTER for MART1, EBV, and influenza epitopes were functionally confirmed in vitro. In summary, RAPTER identifies low-frequency T cell reactivities using primary cells from low blood volumes, and the resulting paired TCR: ligand information can directly enable immunogenic antigen selection for vaccine epitope inclusion, antigen-specific TCR tracking, and TCR cloning for further therapeutic development.

TCR repertoire analysis by Next-generation sequencing of mouse CD8+ T cells in spleen or tumor

Project description:We have reported that intra-tumoral treatment with 1V270, a phospholipid-conjugated TLR7 agonist,induces local expansion an systemic dispersion of oligoclonal tumor-specific T cells by TCR repertoire analysis using next generation RNAseq methodology. Here, we examined whether systemic 1V270 therapy also induced oligoclonal expansion of tumor-specific T cells. Two groups of BALB/c mice (n=4/group) were i.p. treated with 1V270,a phospholipid-conjugated TLR7 agonist. One cohort of mice was i.v. injected with 4T1-GLF cells (2×104) on day 0. Another cohort did not receive i.v. tumor injection (no tumor-exposed mice). 4T1 cells were orthotopically inoculated on day 21. To examine clonal specificity of tumor-specific T cells, CD8+ cells were isolated from the spleens and the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of secondarily challenged tumors after initial 1V270 therapy. The TCR repertoires were assessed by next generation RNA sequencing of both TCRαand TCR β genes.

The transcription factor IRF4 is essential for T cell receptor affinity mediated metabolic programming and clonal expansion of T cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We demonstrate that transcription factor IRF4 is induced in a T cell receptor (TCR) affinity-dependent manner and functions as a dose-dependent regulator of the metabolic function of activated T cells. IRF4 regulates the expression of key molecules required for aerobic glycolysis of effector T cells, and is essential for clonal expansion and maintenance of effector function of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Examination of binding sites of transcription factor IRF4 in mouse CD8+ T cells.

Differential Kinetics of Antigen Dependency of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells

Project description:Ag recognition via the TCR is necessary for the expansion of specific T cells that then contribute to adaptive immunity as effector and memory cells. Because CD4+ and CD8+ T cells differ in terms of their priming APCs and MHC ligands we compared their requirements of Ag persistence during their expansion phase side by side. Proliferation and effector differentiation of TCR transgenic and polyclonal mouse T cells were thus analyzed after transient and continuous TCR signals. Following equally strong stimulation, CD4+ T cell proliferation depended on prolonged Ag presence, whereas CD8+ T cells were able to divide and differentiate into effector cells despite discontinued Ag presentation. CD4+ T cell proliferation was neither affected by Th lineage or memory differentiation nor blocked by coinhibitory signals or missing inflammatory stimuli. Continued CD8+ T cell proliferation was truly independent of self-peptide/MHC-derived signals. The subset divergence was also illustrated by surprisingly broad transcriptional differences supporting a stronger propensity of CD8+ T cells to programmed expansion. These T cell data indicate an intrinsic difference between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells regarding the processing of TCR signals for proliferation. We also found that the presentation of a MHC class II–restricted peptide is more efficiently prolonged by dendritic cell activation in vivo than a class I bound one. In summary, our data demonstrate that CD4+ T cells require continuous stimulation for clonal expansion, whereas CD8+ T cells can divide following a much shorter TCR signal.

mRNA profile of CD8 T cells from chronic HBV patients

Project description:The low frequency of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood of CHB patients has limited studies of the mechanisms underlying HBV-induced T cell exhaustion. Similar to the expansion defect displayed in HBV-specific CD8+ T cells, TCR-induced proliferation of global CD8+ T cells is impaired in a fraction of chronic HBV (CHB) patients. Thus, examining the molecular regulation of global CD8+ T cell function in CHB patients may provide insight into the exhaustion of HBV-specific CD8+ T cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of CD8 T cells from CHB patients who have not received anti-viral treatment. Fifteen milliliters of blood was drawn from eachof three CHB patients and three healthy donors. PBMCs were enriched using Ficoll, and CD8+ T cells were purified using positive selection beads to a purity of >95% (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Total RNA was extracted using a mirVana isolation kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA).

Targeted reconstruction of T cell receptor sequence from single cell RNA-seq links CDR3 length to T cell differentiation state

Project description:The T cell compartment must contain diversity in both T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and cell state to provide effective immunity against pathogens. However, it remains unclear how differences in the TCR contribute to heterogeneity in T cell state. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) can allow simultaneous measurement of TCR sequence and global transcriptional profile from single cells. However, current methods for TCR inference from scRNA-seq are limited in their sensitivity and require long sequencing reads, thus increasing the cost and decreasing the number of cells that can be feasibly analyzed. We present TRAPeS, a publicly available tool that can efficiently extract TCR sequence information from short-read scRNA-seq libraries. We apply it to investigate heterogeneity in the CD8+ T cell response in humans and mice, and show that it is accurate and more sensitive than existing approaches. Coupling TRAPeS with transcriptome analysis of CD8+ T cells specific for a single epitope from Yellow Fever Virus (YFV), we show that the recently described “naive-like” memory population have significantly longer CDR3 regions and greater divergence from germline sequence than do effector-memory phenotype cells. This suggests that TCR usage is associated with the differentiation state of the CD8+ T cell response to YFV.

Impact of secondary TCR engagement on the heterogeneity of pathogen-specific CD8+ T cell response during acute and chronic toxoplasmosis

Project description:Initial TCR-dependent engagement of CD8+ T cells results in T cell expansion, and the early events involved in priming influence the generation of diverse effector and memory populations. During infection, some of these activated T cells re-encounter cognate antigen, but whether this influences phenotypic heterogeneity is unclear. To address this issue, OT-I T cells, which are specific for the SIINFEKL peptide from OVA and express the Nur77-GFP reporter of recent TCR activation, were paired with transgenic T. gondii that express OVA to assess the impact of TCR activation on parasite-specific CD8+ T cell responses.
