Chronic antigen in solid tumors drives a distinct program of T cell residence

ABSTRACT: Analyses of healthy tissue reveal signatures that identify resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM), which survey tissues without recirculating. The density of TRM-phenotype cells within solid tumors correlates favorably with prognosis, suggesting that intratumoral residents control cancer. However, residence has not been directly tested and intratumoral TRM-phenotype cells could instead reflect aspects of the microenvironment that correlate with prognosis. Using a breast cancer model, we found that conventional TRM markers do not inform the tumor residence of either bystander or tumor-specific cells, which exhibit further distinct phenotypes in the tumor microenvironment and healthy mammary tissue. Rather, tumor-specific, stem-progenitor CD8+ T cells migrate to tumors and become resident while acquiring select markers of exhaustion. These data indicate that tonic antigen stimulation and the tumor environment drive distinct programs of residence compared to healthy tissues and that tumor immunity is sustained by continued migration of tumor-specific stem cells.

Intratumoral CD8+ T cells with a tissue-resident phenotype mediate local immunity and immune checkpoint responses in breast cancer

Project description:CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes with a tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cell phenotype are associated with favorable prognosis in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the relative contribution of CD8+ TRM cells to anti-tumor immunity and immune checkpoint blockade efficacy in breast cancer remains unknown. Here, we show that intratumoral CD8+ T cells in murine mammary tumors transcriptionally resemble those from triple-negative breast cancer patients. Phenotypic and transcriptional studies established two intratumoral sub-populations: one more enriched in markers of terminal exhaustion (TEX-like) and the other with a bona-fide resident phenotype (TRM-like). Treatment with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy resulted in a expansion of these intratumoral populations, with the TRM-like subset displaying significantly enhanced cytotoxic capacity. Importantly, we demonstrate that it is the TRM-like CD8+ T cells can provide local immune protection against mammary tumor re-challenge and that a gene signature from remaining TRM-like CD8+ T cells extracted from tumor-free tissue was significantly associated with improved outcomes in human TNBC patients treated with checkpoint inhibition. Overall, our data suggest that CD8+ T cells with a tissue resident phenotype play a critical role in response to local immunosurveillance and responses to immune checkpoint blockade in breast cancer

A non-lymphoid origin for lymph node resident memory T cells

Project description:Immunosurveillance of secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) is performed by central memory T cells that recirculate through blood. Resident memory T cells (TRM) remain parked in nonlymphoid tissues and often stably express CD69. We recently identified TRM within SLO, and this study addresses knowledge gaps in their origin and phenotype. Parabiosis of ‘dirty’ mice revealed that CD69 expression is insufficient to infer stable residence. Using selective depletion strategies, parabiosis, imaging, tissue grafting, and photoactivatable T cells, we report that restimulation of TRM within the skin or mucosa results in a substantial increase in TRM that patrol all regions of draining lymph nodes. SLO TRM were derived from nonlymphoid tissue residents. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry revealed a refined phenotype shared between both nonlymphoid and SLO TRM. These data demonstrate the nonlymphoid origin of SLO TRM and suggest vaccination strategies by which memory CD8 T cell immunosurveillance can be regionalized to specific lymph nodes.

An unconventional integrin b3 and CD103 heterodimer improves the anti-tumor immunity of tissue-resident T cells

Project description:Current cancer immunotherapies promote recovery of CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) population of the tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, not all treated patients exhibit improved anti-tumor immunity and survival, likely due to the immunophenotypical diversity among the CD103+ Trm TILs. Utilising multifaceted proteomics approaches and patients’ clinical analyses, we discovered an unusual subset of CD8+ Trm TILs expressing non-canonical integrin β3 early during T cells activation. The integrin β3 surprisingly heterodimerises with CD103 on T cells, leading to unconventional granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity, elevated alternative bioenergy usage and efficient T cell migration, with minimal overall exhaustion. Importantly, early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with enriched presence of integrin β3+CD103+ Trm TILs exhibited better clinical prognosis, with improved T cell immunophenotype, hence confirming the beneficial role of this unusual subset of Trm TILs. These unconventional anti-tumor T cell features provide new avenues and future opportunities for designing better translational immunotherapy strategies.

Non-Terminally Exhausted Tumor-Resident Memory HBV-specific T Cell Responses Correlate with Relapse-Free Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often develops following chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and responds poorly to immune checkpoint blockade. Here we examined the antigen specificities of HCC-infiltrating T cells and their relevance to tumor control. Using highly multiplexed peptide-MHC tetramer staining of unexpanded cells from blood, liver and tumor tissues from 46 HCC patients, we detected 91 different antigen-specific CD8+ T cell populations targeting HBV, neoantigen, tumor-associated and disease-unrelated antigens. Parallel high-dimensional analysis delineated five distinct antigen-specific tissue-resident memory T (Trm) cell populations. Intratumoral and intrahepatic HBV-specific T cells were enriched for two Trm cell subsets that were PD-1-low and TOX-low, despite being clonally expanded. High frequencies of intratumoral terminally exhausted T cells was uncommon. Patients with tumor-infiltrating HBV-specific CD8+ Trm cells exhibited longer-term relapse-free survival. Thus, non-terminally exhausted HBV-specific CD8+ Trm cells show hallmarks of active involvement and effective antitumor response, implying that these cells could be harnessed for therapeutic purposes.

CD4+ resident memory T cells dominate immunosurveillance and orchestrate local recall responses

Project description:This study examines the extent to which memory CD4+ T cells share immunosurveillance strategies with CD8+ resident memory T cells (TRM). After acute viral infection, memory CD4+ T cells predominantly utilized residence to survey nonlymphoid tissues, albeit not as stringently as observed for CD8+ T cells. In contrast, memory CD4+ T cells were more likely to be resident within lymphoid organs than CD8+ T cells. Migration properties of memory-phenotype CD4+ T cells in non-SPF parabionts were similar, generalizing these results to diverse infections and conditions. CD4+ and CD8+ TRM shared overlapping transcriptional signatures and location-specific features, such as granzyme B expression in the small intestine, revealing tissue-specific and migration property-specific, in addition to lineage-specific, differentiation programs. Functionally, mucosal CD4+ TRM reactivation locally triggered both chemokine expression and broad immune cell activation. Thus, residence provides a dominant mechanism for regionalizing CD4+ T cell immunity, and location enforces shared transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional properties with CD8+ T cells.

Discrete tissue microenvironments instruct diversity in resident memory T cell function and plasticity (Skin)

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are non-recirculating cells that exist throughout the body. While TRM in various organs rely on common transcriptional networks to establish tissue residency, location-specific factors adapt these cells to their tissue of lodgment. Here, we chart TRM heterogeneity between organs and find that the different environments in which these cells differentiate dictate TRM function, durability and malleability. We find that unequal responsiveness to TGF-β is a major driver of this diversity. Strikingly, dampened TGF-b signaling engendered CD103- TRM with increased proliferative potential, enhanced function, and reduced longevity compared to their TGF-β-responsive CD103+ TRM counterparts. Further, while CD103- TRM readily modified their phenotype upon relocation, CD103+ TRM were comparatively resistant to trans-differentiation. Thus, despite common requirements for TRM development, adaptation of these cells to their tissue of residence confers discrete functional properties such that TRM exist along a spectrum of differentiation potential that is governed by their local microenvironment.
