Multimodal stimulation screens reveal unique and shared regulators limiting T-cell fitness [Dap5]

ABSTRACT: It has not been systematically studied whether T-cell fitness regulators uniquely or broadly contribute to specific traits limiting antitumor activity. We performed genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens in primary CD8 T-cells to uncover genes negatively impacting on their fitness upon three modes of stimulation: (1) intense stimulation, causing activation-induced cell death (AICD); (2) acute stimulation, triggering T-cell expansion; (3) chronic stimulation, resulting in dysfunction. Besides established regulators, we uncovered several genes controlling T-cell fitness either specifically or commonly under various stimulation modalities. Ablation of Dap5, ranking highly in all three screens, increased translation while enhancing tumor killing. Loss of Icam1-mediated homotypic T-cell clustering amplified T-cell expansion and effector functions after both acute and intense stimulation. Finally, inactivation of Ctbp1 induced T-cell persistence exclusively upon chronic stimulation. Our results functionally annotate T-cell fitness regulators based on their unique or shared contribution to traits limiting T-cell antitumor activity.

MULTIMODAL STIMULATION SCREENS REVEAL UNIQUE AND SHARED GENES LIMITING T-CELL FITNESS

Project description:T-cell dysfunction genes limit antitumor activity and may serve as therapeutic targets. It has not been systematically studied whether there are regulators that either uniquely or broadly contribute to T-cell fitness. We performed genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens in primary CD8 T-cells to uncover genes negatively impacting on fitness upon three modes of stimulation: (1) intense stimulation, triggering activation-induced cell death (AICD); (2) acute stimulation, triggering T-cell expansion; (3) chronic stimulation, causing dysfunction. Besides established regulators, we uncovered genes controlling T-cell fitness either specifically or commonly upon differential stimulation. Dap5 ablation, ranking highly in all three screens, increased translation while enhancing tumor killing. Loss of Icam1-mediated homotypic T-cell clustering amplified T-cell expansion and effector functions after both acute and intense stimulation. Lastly, Ctbp1 inactivation induced functional T-cell persistence exclusively upon chronic stimulation. Our results functionally annotate fitness regulators based on their unique or shared contribution to traits limiting T-cell antitumor activity.

Essential gene profiles for human pluripotent stem cells identify uncharacterized genes and substrate dependencies [CRISPRseq]

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide an invaluable tool for modeling diseases and hold promise for regenerative medicine. For understanding pluripotency and lineage differentiation mechanisms, a critical first step involves systematically cataloging essential genes (EGs) that are indispensable for hPSC fitness, defined as cell reproduction in this study. To map essential genetic determinants of hPSC fitness, we performed genome-scale loss- of-function screens in an inducible Cas9 H1 hPSC line cultured on feeder cells and laminin to identify EGs. Among these, we found FOXH1 and VENTX, genes that encode transcription factors previously implicated in stem cell biology, as well as an uncharacterized gene, C22orf43/DRICH1. hPSC EGs are substantially different from other human model cell lines, and EGs in hPSCs are highly context dependent with respect to different growth substrates. Our CRISPR screens establish parameters for genome-wide screens in hPSCs, which will facilitate the characterization of unappreciated genetic regulators of hPSC biology.

Gain-of-function genetic screens in human cells identify SLC transporters overcoming environmental nutrient restrictions

Project description:<p>Solute carrier (SLC) transporters control fluxes of nutrients and metabolites across membranes and thereby represent a critical interface between the microenvironment and cellular and subcellular metabolism. Because of substantial functional overlap, the interplay and relative contributions of SLCs in response to environmental stresses remain poorly elucidated. To infer functional relationships between SLCs and metabolites, we developed a strategy to identify SLCs able to sustain cell viability and proliferation under growth-limiting concentrations of essential nutrients. One-by-one depletion of 13 amino acids required for cell proliferation enabled gain-of-function genetic screens using a SLC-focused CRISPR/Cas9–based transcriptional activation approach to uncover transporters relieving cells from growth-limiting metabolic bottlenecks. Among the transporters identified, we characterized the cationic amino acid transporter SLC7A3 as a gene that, when up-regulated, overcame low availability of arginine and lysine by increasing their uptake, whereas SLC7A5 was able to sustain cellular fitness upon deprivation of several neutral amino acids. Moreover, we identified metabolic compensation mediated by the glutamate/aspartate transporters SLC1A2 and SLC1A3 under glutamine-limiting conditions. Overall, this gain-of-function approach using human cells uncovered functional transporter-nutrient relationships and revealed that transport activity up-regulation may be sufficient to overcome environmental metabolic restrictions.</p>

Amphiregulin couples IL1RL1+ regulatory T cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts to inhibit antitumor immunity

Project description:We demonstrated that IL-33 induced strong CD8+ T cell antitumor immune responses characterized by robust clonal expansion and vigorous functional diversification. Nonetheless, IL-33 also produced intense regulatory T cell (Treg) accumulation in the TME, dominated by the IL1RL1+ Treg subset. We further showed that IL1RL1 signaling in Treg cells greatly dampened the antitumor activity of IL-33.

iTARGEX analysis of yeast deletome reveals novel regulators of transcriptional buffering in S phase and protein turnover

Project description:Integrating omics data with quantification of biological traits provides unparalleled opportunities for discovery of genetic regulators by in silico inference. However, current approaches to analyze genetic-perturbation screens are limited by their reliance on annotation libraries for prioritization of hits and subsequent targeted experimentation. Here, we present iTARGEX (identification of Trait-Associated Regulatory Genes via mixture regression using EXpectation maximization), an association framework with no requirement of a priori knowledge of gene function. After creating this tool, we used it to test associations between gene expression profiles and two biological traits in single-gene-deleted budding yeast mutants, including transcription homeostasis during S phase and global protein turnover. For each trait, we discovered novel regulators without prior functional annotations. The functional effects of the novel candidates were then validated experimentally, providing solid evidence for their roles in the respective traits. Hence, we conclude that iTARGEX can reliably identify novel factors involved in given biological traits. As such, it is capable of converting genome-wide observations into causal gene function predictions. Further application of iTARGEX in other contexts is expected to facilitate the discovery of new regulators and provide observations for novel mechanistic hypotheses regarding different biological traits and phenotypes.

High-speed fluorescence image-enabled cell sorting

Project description:Fast and selective isolation of single cells with unique spatial and morphological traits remains a technical challenge. We address this by establishing high speed image-enabled cell sorting (ICS), which records multicolor fluorescence images, and sorts cells based on measurements from image data at speeds up to 15,000 events per second. We combine ICS with CRISPR-pooled screens to identify novel regulators of the NF-κB pathway, enabling the completion of genome-wide image- based screens in around nine hours of run-time.
