Inflammatory Cytokines Induce Sustained CTLA-4 Cell Surface Expression on Human MAIT Cells

ABSTRACT: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells acquire effector function in response to proinflammatory signals, which synergize with TCR-mediated signals. We asked if cell-intrinsic regulatory mechanisms exist to curtail MAIT cell effector function akin to the activation-induced expression of inhibitory receptors by conventional T cells. We examined human MAIT cells from blood and oral mucosal tissues by RNA sequencing and found differential expression of immunoregulatory genes, including CTLA-4, by MAIT cells isolated from tissue. Using an ex vivo experimental setup, we demonstrate that inflammatory cytokines were sufficient to induce CTLA-4 expression on the MAIT cell surface in the absence of TCR signals. Even brief exposure to the cytokines IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18 was sufficient for sustained CTLA-4 expression by MAIT cells. These data suggest that control of CTLA-4 expression is fundamentally different between MAIT cells and conventional T cells. We propose that this mechanism serves to limit MAIT cell-mediated tissue damage.

Single-cell analysis of human MAIT cell transcriptional, functional and clonal diversity [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that recognize microbial metabolites through a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR). Major questions remain regarding the extent of human MAIT cell functional and clonal diversity. To address these, we analyzed the single-cell transcriptome and TCR repertoire of blood and liver MAIT cells and developed functional RNA sequencing, a method to integrate function and TCR clonotype at single-cell resolution. MAIT cell clonal diversity was comparable to conventional memory T cells, with private TCR repertoires shared across matched tissues. Baseline functional diversity was low and largely related to tissue site. MAIT cells showed stimulus-specific transcriptional responses in vitro, with cells positioned along gradients of activation. Clonal identity influenced resting and activated transcriptional profiles but intriguingly was not associated with the capacity to produce IL- 17. Overall, MAIT cells show phenotypic and functional diversity according to tissue localization, stimulation environment and clonotype.

TCR and inflammatory signals tune human MAIT cells to exert specific tissue repair and effector functions

Project description:We sought to describe in detail human MAIT cell activation using a transcriptomic approach to define the basic transcriptome of MAIT cells in humans and to determine how this is modulated by activation. Fresh human peripheral blood cells were obtained from three donors, and were magnetically enriched on CD8+ cells, and flow-sorted for live CD161++TCR Va7.2+ MAIT cells. These were cultured in media for 20 hours (“unstimulated”) or in the presence of anti-CD3/CD28 TCR beads (T), cytokines (IL-12, 2ng/ml, IL-18, 50ng/ml, IL-15, 25ng/ml, and TL1A, 100ng/ml), or TCR beads and cytokines combined (TC).

A Multi-Omics Analysis of Mucosal-Associated-Invariant T cells reveals key drivers of distinct modes of activation

Project description:The function of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) highly depends on the mode of activation, either by recognition of bacterial metabolites via their T cell receptor (TCR) or in a TCR-independent manner via cytokines. The underlying molecular mechanisms are not entirely understood. To define the activation of MAIT cells on the molecular level, we applied a multi-omics approach with untargeted transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. Transcriptomic analysis of E.coli- and TCR-activated MAIT cells showed a distinct transcriptional reprogramming, including altered pathways, transcription factors and effector molecules. We validated the consequences of this reprogramming on the phenotype by proteomics and metabolomics. Thus, and to distinguish between TCR-dependent and -independent activation, MAIT cells were stimulated with IL12/IL18, anti-CD3/CD28 or both. Only a combination of both led to full activation of MAIT cells, comparable to activation by E.coli. Using an integrated network-based approach, we identified key drivers of the distinct modes of activation, including cytokines and transcription factors, as well as negative feedback regulators like TWIST1 or LAG3. Taken together, we present novel insights into the biological function of MAIT cells, which may represent a basis for therapeutic approaches to target MAIT cells in pathological conditions.

Single-cell analysis of human MAIT cell transcriptional, functional and clonal diversity [Exp 3]

Project description:MAIT cells are innate-like T cells that recognize microbial metabolites through a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR). Major questions remain regarding the extent of human MAIT cell functional and clonal diversity. To address these, we analyzed the single-cell transcriptome and TCR repertoire of blood and liver MAIT cells and developed functional RNA-sequencing (fRNA-seq), a method to integrate function and TCR clonotype at single-cell resolution. MAIT cell clonal diversity was comparable to conventional memory T cells, with private TCR repertoires shared across matched tissues. Baseline functional diversity was low and largely related to tissue site. MAIT cells showed stimulus-specific transcriptional responses in vitro, with cells positioned along gradients of activation.

Parallel T-cell cloning and deep sequencing of the transcripts of human MAIT cells reveal stable oligoclonal TCRβ repertoire

Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are abundant in humans and recognize conserved bacterial antigens derived from riboflavin precursors, presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like molecule MR1. Here, we show via transcriptomic analysis that human MAIT cells are remarkably oligoclonal in both blood and liver, display high inter-individual homology, and exhibit a restricted length CDR3β domain of the TCRVβ chain. We extend this analysis to a second sub-population of MAIT cells expressing a semi-invariant TCR conserved between individuals. Study of CDR3 regions of TCRalpha and beta sequences

Outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to MAIT cell activation and cytotoxicity

Project description:Immune system dysfunction is paramount in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and fatality rate. MAIT cells are innate-like T cells involved in mucosal immunity and protection against viral infections. Here, we studied the immune cell landscape, with emphasis on MAIT cells, in cohorts of 208 patients at various stages of disease activity. MAIT cell frequency is strongly reduced in blood. They display a strong activated and cytotoxic phenotype that is more pronounced in lungs. Blood MAIT cell alterations positively correlate with other innate cell activation; pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably IL-18; and with the severity and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We also identified a monocyte/macrophage Interferon-a-IL-18 cytokine shift and the ability of infected macrophages to induce cytotoxicity of MAIT cells in an MR1-dependent manner. Together our results suggest that altered MAIT cell functions due to IFN-a-IL-18 imbalance contribute to disease severity and their therapeutic manipulation might prevent deleterious inflammation in COVID-19 aggravation.

Human MAIT cells exit peripheral tissues and re-circulate via lymph in steady state conditions

Project description:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize bacterial metabolites as antigen and are found in blood and tissues, where they are poised to contribute to barrier immunity. Recent data demonstrate that MAIT cells located in mucosal barrier tissues are functionally distinct from their blood counterparts, but the relationship and circulation of MAIT cells between blood and different tissue compartments remains poorly understood. Previous studies raised the possibility that MAIT cells do not leave tissue and may either be retained or undergo apoptosis. To directly address if human MAIT cells exit tissues, we collected human donor-matched thoracic duct lymph and blood and analyzed MAIT cell phenotype, transcriptome and TCR diversity by RNAseq.
