Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes with adaptive immune features, including antigen-specificity, clonal expansion, and memory. As such, NK cells share many transcriptional and epigenetic programs with their adaptive CD8+ T cell siblings. Various signals ranging from antigen, co-stimulation, and proinflammatory cytokines are required for optimal NK cell responses in mice and humans during virus infection; however, the integration of these signals remains unclear. In this study, we identified the transcription factor IRF4 as a signal integrator to coordinate the NK cell response during viral infection. Loss of IRF4 was detrimental to the expansion and differentiation of virus-specific NK cells. This defect was partially attributed to the inability of IRF4-deficient NK cells to uptake nutrients required for survival and memory generation. Altogether, these data suggest IRF4 is a signal integrator that acts as a secondary metabolic checkpoint to orchestrate the adaptive response of NK cells during viral infection.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes with the capacity to elicit adaptive features, including clonal expansion and immunological memory. Because signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) is essential for NK cell development, the role of this transcription factor and its upstream cytokines IL-2 and IL-15 during infection have not been carefully investigated. In this study, we investigate how STAT5 regulates transcription during viral infection. We demonstrate that STAT5 is induced in NK cells by IL-12 and STAT4 early after infection, and that partial STAT5 deficiency results in a defective capacity of NK cells to generate long-lived memory cells. Furthermore, we find a functional dichotomy of IL-2 and IL-15 signaling outputs during viral infection, whereby both cytokines drive clonal expansion, but only IL-15 is required for memory NK cell survival. We thus highlight a novel role for STAT5 signaling in promoting an optimal antiviral NK cell response.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that possess traits of adaptive immunity, such as clonal expansion, contraction, and generation of long-lived memory cells following viral infection. However, the molecular mechanisms by which clonally expanded effector NK (NKeff) cells persist to form memory cells is not well understood. Utilizing single cell RNA sequencing, we identify two Ly49H+ NKeff cell populations following mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection defined by the cell surface protein Ly6C. Ly6C– NKeff cells displayed enhanced survival during the contraction phase in a BCL2-dependent manner. Ly6C– NKeff cells displayed distinct transcriptional and epigenetic signatures compared to Ly6C+ NKeff cells, with a core epigenetic signature shared with memory precursor (MP) CD8+ T cells enriched in ETS1 and Fli1 DNA-binding motifs. Fli1 regulated memory NK cell fate by promoting terminal maturation and decreased persistence of contracting NK cells. Our results suggest that memory NK cells, similar to memory T cells, are generated by a subset of epigenetically distinct MP cell states that preferentially survive during the contraction phase of the response to viral infection.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that possess features of adaptive immunity, such as the ability to recognize specific antigen, among others. In MCMV infection, the engagement of a subset of NK cells expressing an activating receptor Ly49H with MCMV-derived glycoprotein m157 results in a clonal-like expansion and the generation of a small pool of long-lived memory cells with higher Ly49H expression than the naive Ly49H-expressing NK cell pool. In this study, we interrogate the transcriptional differences between NK cells that express high verus low levels of Ly49H early after infection.

Project description:This lab investigates how protein-carbohydrate interactions affect cell fate in the immune system. The specific focus is on the mechanism of galectin-1 mediated death of T lymphocytes, and the role of galectin-1 in immune development, lymphocyte homeostasis, response to pathogens, autoimmunity and tumor cell evasion of the immune response. T cell memory, the ability of T cells to respond to recall antigens rapidly and effectively, is a critical component of the adaptive immune response and the essential target of vaccine development. After naive T cells are exposed to a new antigen (or pathogen), expansion of antigen-specific T cells creates an effector population; the majority of effector T cells die once the antigen or pathogen is cleared. A small subset of T cells remains after antigen is cleared, the memory T cells. These memory cells can respond more rapidly than naive cells to recall antigen, and are also capable of homeostatic self-renewal. During the development of T cell memory, there are dramatic changes in gene transcription, protein expression and post-translational modification of proteins, compared to naive and effector T cells. Our labs have described some of these changes at the phenotypic level, and have found important distinctions in the glycotypes of naive, effector and memory T cells. However, there has not been a systematic examination of differential glycosyltransferase expression among these T cell populations. Gene expression during the development of T-cell memory: After naive T cells are exposed to a new antigen (or pathogen), expansion of antigen-specific T cells creates an effector T cell population, the majority of which dies once antigen is cleared. A small subset, the memory T cells, remains after antigen is cleared. Using the LCMV system in P14 TCR transgenic mice specific for the DbGP33-41 epitope of LCMV, RNA (triplicate samples) was isolated from FACS-sorted virus-specific CD8+ T-cell populations during a time course following viral infection. The time points are day 0, day 8 (the peak of T-cell expansion following viral infection), day 15 (during the contraction or apoptotic phase), day 22 (during the transitional phase), and day 40 or later (the stable memory phase). The RNA samples were analyzed by Glyco-gene Chip analysis.

Project description:Clonal expansion and immunological memory are hallmark features of the mammalian adaptive immune response and essential for prolonged host control of pathogens. Recent work demonstrated that natural killer (NK) cells of the innate immune system also exhibit these adaptive traits during infection. Here we demonstrate that differentiating and ‘memory’ NK cells possess distinct chromatin accessibility states, and that their epigenetic profiles reveal a ‘poised’ regulatory program at the memory stage. Furthermore, we elucidate how individual STAT proteins differentially control epigenetic and transcriptional states early during infection. Finally, concurrent chromatin profiling of the canonical CD8+ T cell response against the same infection demonstrated parallel and distinct epigenetic signatures defining NK cells and CD8+ T cells. Overall, our study reveals the dynamic nature of epigenetic imprinting during the generation of innate and adaptive lymphocyte memory.

Dynamics of killer T cell inflation in viral infections.

Abstract:
Upon acute viral infection, a typical cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response is
characterized by a phase of expansion and contraction after which it settles at
a relatively stable memory level. Recently, experimental data from mice infected
with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) showed different and unusual dynamics. After
acute infection had resolved, some antigen specific CTL started to expand over
time despite the fact that no replicative virus was detectable. This phenomenon
has been termed as "CTL memory inflation". In order to examine the dynamics of
this system further, we developed a mathematical model analysing the impact of
innate and adaptive immune responses. According to this model, a potentially
important contributor to CTL inflation is competition between the specific CTL
response and an innate natural killer (NK) cell response. Inflation occurs most
readily if the NK cell response is more efficient than the CTL at reducing virus
load during acute infection, but thereafter maintains a chronic virus load which
is sufficient to induce CTL proliferation. The model further suggests that
weaker NK cell mediated protection can correlate with more pronounced CTL
inflation dynamics over time. We present experimental data from mice infected
with MCMV which are consistent with the theoretical predictions. This model
provides valuable information and may help to explain the inflation of CMV
specific CD8+T cells seen in humans as they age.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes capable of controlling tumors and virus infections through direct lysis and cytokine production. NK cells also expand and accumulate in affected tissues, but the role of NK cell expansion in tumor and viral control is not well understood. Here, we describe that post-transcriptional regulation by the RNA-binding protein HuR is essential for NK cell expansion, without overtly affecting NK cell effector functions. HuR-dependent NK cell expansion facilitated control of solid tumors, but it was dispensable for control of tumor metastases. In virus infection, HuR-dependent NK cell expansion contributed to long-term viral control in the absence of adaptive immunity without affecting acute infection. HuR-deficient NK cells displayed defects in expression of and splicing in cell cycle-associated genes, including decreased expression and alternative splicing of Ska2, a component of the spindle and kinetochore complex that is involved in chromosome separation during cell division. Furthermore, we identified an essential role for SKA2 in NK cell expansion. These results show that post-transcriptional regulation by HuR specifically affects NK cell expansion which is required for control of several solid tumors and long-term virus infection.
