Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) comparing activation-induced gene expression profiles induced by tumor-specific antigen (Ag) and CD3 mAb. CTLs were stimulated with either Ag or CD3 mAb for 3 and 24 h, respectively. The stimulated CTLs were compared to un-stimulated CTLs. The objective was to identify differential gene expression profiles induced by the two activation (Ag vs CD3 mAb) conditions. Two-condition experiments, un-stimulated vs stimulated CTLs. Biological replicates: 3 replicates for each comparison. Unstimulated CTLs were compared to stimulated CTLs (Ag and CD3 mAb, respectively).

Project description:The in-depth analysis of co-stimulatory signaling enhancing the activity of cytotoxic T cells represents a major approach towards the development of immunotherapies. Here we describe that CD2 co-stimulation plays a critical role in the functioning of human cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). We found that CD2 promotes the formation of functional immune synapses by orchestrating the polarization of lytic granules towards the synaptic interface. To broadly explore the CD2 signaling network, we undertook an analysis of protein phosphorylation in CD2-stimulated CTLs, which revealed 549 unique CD2-regulated phosphorylation events in 373 proteins. CD2 stimulation elicited an intricated network of signaling events participating in the regulation of T cell metabolism, vesicular trafficking, autophagy, cell polarity and cytoskeleton organization. We further show that a functionally critical node of this network is the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates granule polarization at the CTL synapse. Polarized trafficking of granules is driven by the concerted action of TAK1/LKB1/CamKK2 kinases, which locally activate AMPK enriched on CTL lysosome membranes, illustrating a novel functional cross-talk between vesicular compartments in CTLs. Our results thus establish CD2 signaling as key for regulating targeted granule secretion in CTLs and reveal an AMPK-dependent mechanism to explain how AMPK-activating drugs boost anti-tumour CTL activity.

Project description:Acquisition of effector properties is a key step in the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Here we show that inflammatory signals regulate Dicer expression in CTL, and that deletion or depletion of Dicer in mouse or human activated CD8+ T cells causes upregulation of perforin, granzyme and effector cytokines. Genome-wide analysis of miRNA changes induced by exposure of differentiating CTLs to IL-2 and inflammatory signals identifies miR-139 and miR-150 as components of a miRNA network that controls perforin, eomesodermin (Eomes) and IL-2Ra expression in differentiating CTLs and whose activity is modulated by IL-2, inflammation and antigenic stimulation. Overall our data show that strong IL-2R and inflammatory signals act through Dicer and miRNAs to control the cytolytic program and other aspects of effector CTL differentiation. Comparison of control and Dicer knock-out CTLs differentiated in vitro; Comparison of wild type CTLs differentiated in vitro with or without inflammatory stimuli; Comparison of effector and memory precursor CTLs isolated from mice infected with LCMV-Armstrong

Project description:CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a major role in defense against intracellular pathogens, and their functions are specified by antigen recognition and innate cytokines. While effector CTLs eliminate the infection, a small population of memory cells are retained that yields more rapid and robust response upon re-infection. Antigen presenting cells secrete an array of innate cytokines including IL-12 and IFN-α after recognition of pathogens. Both IL-12 and IFN-α have been shown to act as the third signal regulating the development of CTLs. We have shown that these two cytokines have a non-redundant effect in generation of human effector CTL. IL-12 alone is sufficient for effector CTL genesis marked by IFN-γ and TNF-α production, as well as increased cytolytic activity. Even in the presence of IFN-α, IL-12 programs CTLs that express the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and effector cytokines. Using microarray analysis we have investigated how IL-12 and IFN-α differentially regulate the genetic programming pathways that give rise to effector CTLs among multiple human donors. We have also analyzed the gene expression patterns of cells sorted from healthy human peripheral blood that display surface markers of effector memory CTL (designated as ex vivo) samples. 5 healthy human donor samples were used for the in vitro cultures. For each donor the CFSE labeled cells (CD8+CD45RA+) were cultured in the presence of neutralized, IL-12, IFN-a, and IL-12+IFN-a conditions and plate-bound anti-CD3+anti-CD28 for 3.5 days. Total RNA from CFSEhi (Undiv) and CFSElo (Div) sorted cells were used for Illumina Bead Array. 4 healthy human donor samples were used for the ex vivo samples. Total RNA was collected from FACS sorted CD8+CCR7hiCXCR3lo and CD8+CCR7loCXCR3hi cells without any stimulation.

Project description:Activation induced cell death (AICD) of T lymphocytes may be exploited by cancers to eliminate cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). Here, we demonstrated excessive apoptosis of tumor antigen-specific CTLs in breast and lung cancers. Interestingly, NKILA, an NF-κB interacting lncRNA, sensitizes CTLs to AICD by inhibiting NF-κB activities after their activation. In vivo, administering CTLs with NKILA silencing into immunocompromised mice with breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDXs) effectively inhibits PDX growth by increasing CTL infiltration. Clinically, NKILA was overexpressed in the tumor specific CTLs of breast and lung cancers, which was associated with less CTL infiltration in the tumors and shorter patient survival. Our findings present the first evidence that AICD in patient tumor-specific CTLs is crucial to cancer immune evasion, and targeting NKILA in CTLs emerges as a novel anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Project description:We wished to examine early transcriptional changes that occur after TCR engagement in CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). To this end, we differentiated effector CTLs from OTI TCR transgenic mice for 7 days in vitro and then stimulated them with anti-CD3 for various times before lysing for RNA-seq. Results demonstrated significant transcriptional changes starting from 20 minutes. After 60 minutes, upregulated genes were most enriched for cytokines and transcriptional machinery.

Project description:The present study reports an unbiased analysis of the cytotoxic T cell serine-threonine phosphoproteome using high resolution mass spectrometry. Approximately 2,000 phosphorylations were identified in CTLs of which approximately 450 were controlled by TCR signaling. A significantly overrepresented group of molecules identified in the phosphoproteomic screen were transcription activators, co-repressors and chromatin regulators. A focus on the chromatin regulators revealed that CTLs have high expression of the histone deacetylase HDAC7 but continually phosphorylate and export this transcriptional repressor from the nucleus. HDAC7 dephosphorylation results in its nuclear accumulation and suppressed expression of genes encoding key cytokines, cytokine receptors and adhesion molecules that determine CTL function. The screening of the CTL phosphoproteome thus reveals intrinsic pathways of serine-threonine phosphorylation that target chromatin regulators in CTLs and determine the CTL functional program. We used Affymetrix microarray analysis to explore the molecular basis for the role of HDAC7 in CTLs and the impact of GFP-HDAC7 phosphorylation deficient mutant expression on the CTL transcriptional profile. In vitro generated P14 TCR cytotoxic T cells were retrovirally infected with a construct encoding GFP-HDAC7 phosphorylation deficient mutant, sorted in base of GFP expression (GFP positive and GFP negative) and processed for microarray analysis in three biological replicas.

Project description:Celiac disease is an intestinal inflammatory disorder induced by dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The mechanisms underlying the massive expansion of interferon g–producing intraepithelial cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the destruction of the epithelial cells lining the small intestine of celiac patients have remained elusive. We report massive oligoclonal expansions of intraepithelial CTLs that exhibit a profound genetic reprogramming of natural killer (NK) functions. These CTLs aberrantly expressed cytolytic NK lineage receptors, such as NKG2C, NKp44, and NKp46, which associate with adaptor molecules bearing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs and induce ZAP-70 phosphorylation, cytokine secretion, and proliferation independently of T cell receptor signaling. This NK transformation of CTLs may underlie both the self-perpetuating, gluten-independent tissue damage and the uncontrolled CTL expansion leading to malignant lymphomas in severe forms of celiac disease. Because similar changes were detected in a subset of CTLs from cytomegalovirus-seropositive patients, we suggest that a stepwise transformation of CTLs into NK-like cells may underlie immunopathology in various chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Project description:T cells contribute to host-tumor interactions in patients with monoclonal gammopathies. Expansions of CD8+CD57+TCRVβ+ restricted cytotoxic T cell (CTL) clones are found in 48% of patients with multiple myeloma and confer a favorable prognosis. We now report the presence of CTL clones with varying TCRVβ repertoire in 70% of patients with Waldenstromâs Macroglobulinaemia (WM) (n=20). Previous nucleoside analogue (NA) therapy, associated with an increased incidence of transformation to aggressive lymphoma, significantly influenced the presence of TCRVβ expansions (X2=11.6; P<0.001) as 83% of patients without (n=6) and only 7% with TCRVβ expansions (n=14) had received NA. Clonality of CD3+CD8+CD57+TCRVβ+ restricted CTLs were confirmed by TCRVβ CDR3 size analysis and direct sequencing. To characterize CTL clones, samples of CD3+CD8+CD57+TCRVβ+ cells were profiled using DNA microarrays and the results were validated on both gene and protein level. By gene set enrichment analysis, CTL clones not only expressed genes (GZMB, PRF1, FGFBP2) from cytotoxic pathways but also genes which suppress apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, arrest cell cycle G1/S transition and activate T cells (RAS, CSK and TOB pathways). Proliferation tracking confirmed their anergic state. Our studies demonstrate the incidence, NA sensitivity and anergic nature of clonal T cells in a B cell tumor. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying T cell clonal expansion and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Experiment Overall Design: In this study we have sought T cell clones in the blood of patients with WM and related their presence with nucleoside analog therapy and transformation. We have also sorted CD3+CD4-TCRVβ+CD57+ from CD3+CD4-TCRVβ+CD57- cells and confirmed clonality by TCRVβ CDR3 size determination and sequencing and used carboxy-fluorescein diacetate succinmidyl ester (CFSE) tracking to monitor proliferation of CD3+CD4-TCRVβ+CD57+ clones. Finally we have performed microarray analysis to search for significant differentially expressed genes and pathways in the clonally expanded CD3+CD8+TCRVβ+CD57+ cells, focusing on cytotoxic pathways but also identifying other dysfunctional changes in these cells. Expression of a selection of the most differentially expressed genes detected by microarray was validated at both gene (qPCR) and protein level.
