Single cell RNA-sequencing of Tfh cells and Tfr cells

ABSTRACT: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, essential for germinal center reactions, are not identical, with different phenotypes reported. Whether, when and how they generate memory cells are still poorly understood. Here, through single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis of CXCR5+Bcl6+ Tfh cells generated under different conditions, we discovered, in addition to PD-1hi effector Tfh cells, a CD62L+PD1low subpopulation. CD62L-expressing Tfh cells developed independently from PD-1+ cells, and not in direct contact with B cells. More importantly, CD62L+ Tfh cells expressed memory- and stemness-associated genes; with more superior long-term survival, they readily generated PD-1hi cells in the recall response. Finally, KLF2 and IL7R, also highly expressed by CD62L+ Tfh cells, were required to regulate their development. Our work thus demonstrates a novel Tfh memory-like cell subpopulation, which may benefit our understanding on immune responses and diseases.

Circulating CXCR5+CXCR3+PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells in HIV-1 controllers with neutralizing antibody breadth

Project description:HIV-1-specific broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) typically develop in individuals with continuous high-level viral replication and increased immune activation, conditions that cannot be reproduced during prophylactic immunization. Understanding mechanisms supporting bnAb development in the absence of high-level viremia may be important for designing bnAb-inducing immunogens. Here, we show that the breadth of neutralizing antibody responses in HIV-1 controllers was associated with a relative enrichment of circulating CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo CD4 T cells. These CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells were preferentially induced in vitro by functionally superior dendritic cells from controller neutralizers, and able to secrete IL-21 and support B cells. In addition, these CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells contain higher proportions of stem cell-like memory T cells, and upon antigenic stimulation differentiated into PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells in a Notch-dependent manner. Together, these data suggest that CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo cells represent a dendritic cell-primed precursor cell population for PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells that may contribute to the generation of bnAbs in the absence of high–level viremia.

Transcriptional analysis of human blood CXCR5+ CD4 T cell populations

Project description:The vast majority of currently licensed human vaccines work on the basis of long-term protective antibody responses. Generation of long term humoral immunity is a complex process predominantly dependent on germinal centers and CD4 T cell help to B cells. Follicular helper T cells (Tfh) are the specialized CD4 T cells for B cell help. However, whether such cells develop memory in humans and can be tracked in human blood has been enigmatic. We identified a subpopulation of blood CXCR5+ PD-1+CXCR3- resting CD4 T cells that are most related to Tfh cells of lymphoid tissue by gene expression profile and phenotype. Functional analysis showed that these memory Tfh cells were specialized for helping B cells. Moreover, these cells correlate with a clinically important outcome: development of potent neutralizing antibodies against HIV in HIV+ individuals. CD4 T cells were enriched from fresh blood of 5 normal donors by magnetic beads negative selection. Following enrichment, CD14-CD16-CD19-CD8-CD4+CD45RA- cells from each donor were FACS sorted into the following 5 populations: CXCR5-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3+, CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3-, and CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3+. The gene expression profile of each cell population was determined.

microRNA expression profiling of different T cell subset in human tonsils

Project description:Tight control of follicular helper T(Tfh) cells is required for optimal maturation of the germinal center (GC) response. The molecular mechansims controlling Tfh cell differentiation remain incompletely understood. Here we sought to to identfiy miRNAs that might regulate Tfh cell development and/or function. To identfiy miRNAs that are differentially expressed in Tfh cells, we performed Agilent microRNA microarray analysis comparing Tfh cells with the other main T cell subsets (naive T cells, non-Tfh effector or non-Tfh memory T cells, CD57+ Tfh cells and CD57- Tfh cells). RNA was extracted from 4 separate human tonsils (biological replicates) using mirVANA RNA isolation kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. Each biological sample was analysed individually. Live lymphocytes were sorted based on negative 7AAD staining, and thefollowing four subsets were purified: Naive T cells (CD4+ CD45RO-); CD57+ Tfh cells (CD4+ CD45RO+ PD-1_high CXCR5_high CD57+); CD57- Tfh cells (CD4+ CD45RO+ PD-1_high CXCR5_high CD57-) and non-Tfh effector or memory T cells (CD4+ CD45RO+ PD-1_neg CXCR5_neg). RNA quantity and quality was determined using a Nanodrop 1000 and an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer respectively. Hybridization on Agilent Human miRNA Microarray (V1) Kit, 8x15K and was performed at The Ramaciotti Center for Genomics (University of New South Wales, Australia). The mean of 3-4 biological replicates from each population of each population were calculated and values were plotted using Prism.

Identification of a T-bet hi Quiescent Exhausted CD8 T Cell Subpopulation That Can Differentiate into TIM3 + CX3CR1 + Effectors and Memory-like Cells

Project description:Persistent Ag induces a dysfunctional CD8 T cell state known as "exhaustion" characterized by PD-1 expression. Nevertheless, exhausted CD8 T cells retain functionality through continued differentiation of progenitor into effector cells. However, it remains ill-defined how CD8 T cell effector responses are sustained in situ. In this study, we show using the mouse chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection model that CX3CR1+ CD8 T cells contain a T-bet-dependent TIM3-PD-1lo subpopulation that is distinct from the TIM3+CX3CR1+PD-1+ proliferative effector subset. The TIM3-CX3CR1+ cells are quiescent and express a low but significant level of the transcription factor TCF-1, demonstrating similarity to TCF-1hi progenitor CD8 T cells. Furthermore, following the resolution of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus viremia, a substantial proportion of TCF-1+ memory-like CD8 T cells show evidence of CX3CR1 expression during the chronic phase of the infection. Our results suggest a subset of the CX3CR1+ exhausted population demonstrates progenitor-like features that support the generation of the CX3CR1+ effector pool from the TCF-1hi progenitors and contribute to the memory-like pool following the resolution of viremia.

A distinct subpopulation of follicular helper T (Tfh) cells promotes Tfr cell differentiation by producing Sostdc1

Project description:By using RNA-sequencing assay on sorted Sostdc1-EGFP- Tfh, Sostdc1+ Tfh and Non-Tfh cells and single cell RNA-seq assay on sorted CD4+CD44+T cells from Sostdc1-EGFP reporter mice, support the conclusion that Sostdc1+ Tfh cells are a distinct subpopulation of Tfh cells.After performing the RNA-seq assessment and ATAC-seq on Tfr and Treg cells from WT and Sostdc1 KO mice,demonstrated that Sostdc1 ablation predominantly augmented β-catenin-controlled transcriptome, which in turn resulted in Tfr cell failure.

Defining memory-like CD8 T cells that respond to PD-1 therapy in chronic viral infection

Project description:Chronic viral infections are characterized by a state of CD8 T cell dysfunction termed exhaustion. A better understanding of the mechanisms that regulate CD8 T cell responses during chronic infection is required to improve immunotherapies that restore function in exhausted CD8 T cells. Here we identify a novel population of virus-specific CD8 T cells with a T follicular helper (Tfh)-like signature in mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells expressed the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitory receptor but at the same time also expressed co-stimulatory molecules and had a gene signature that was related to CD8 T cell memory precursor cells and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells acted as stem cells during chronic infection undergoing self-renewal and also differentiating into the terminally exhausted CD8 T cells that were present in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. The Tfh-like CD8 T cells were found only in lymphoid tissues and resided predominantly in the T cell zones along with naÃ¯ve CD8 T cells. Interestingly, the proliferative burst after PD-1 blockade came almost exclusively from this Tfh-like CD8 T cell subset. Importantly, the transcription factor TCF1 played a cell intrinsic and essential role in the generation of Tfh-like CD8 T cells. Taken together, our study identifies Tfh-like CD8 T cells as the critical subset for maintaining the pool of virus-specific CD8 T cells during chronic infection and as the cells that proliferate after PD-1 blockade. These findings provide a better understanding of T cell exhaustion and have implications towards optimizing PD-1 directed immunotherapy. 8 samples isolated from CD8 T-cells in LCMV clone 13 GK1.5 infected mice (2 naÃ¯ve, 3 CXCR5+Tim3-, 3 CXCR5-Tim3+) cells were analyzed

Investigating heterogeneity within T follicular helper cells (TFH) population.

Project description:T follicular helper cells (TFH) are heterogenic population of CD4+ T cells, expressing CXCR5+ and PD-1+ on their surface. Their role is linked to supporting formation of germinal centres (GC) and these cells are thought to express high levels of PD-1 marker. Two models of immunisation were used to investigate the role of PD-1 low TFH. In Salmonella enterica infection high frequency of T follicular helper cells expressing low levels of PD-1 surface molecule are observed within first week of infection but GC do not appear until much a later stage (week 7-8). Sheep red blood cell immunisation (SRBC) gives rise to both TFH and GC B cells within first week of response and these TFH express low to high level of PD-1 molecule. Microarray analysis was applied in order to investigate the relationship between and characteristics of different TFH populations in order to elucidate their role in GC support, developmental stage and contributions to memory T cell pool.
