HDAC1 controls the generation and maintenance of effector-like CD8+ T cells during chronic viral infection

ABSTRACT: CD8+ T cell exhaustion is a complex process involving the differentiation of persistently acti-vated CD8+ T cells into functionally distinct cell subsets. Here, we investigated the role of the key epigenetic regulator histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in the differentiation of exhausted T (Tex) cells during chronic viral infection. We uncovered that HDAC1 controls the generation and maintenance of effector-like CX3CR1+ Tex cells in a CD8+ T cell-intrinsic manner. Dele-tion of HDAC1 led to expansion of an alternative Tex subset characterized by high expression of T cell exhaustion markers, and this was accompanied by elevated viremia. HDAC1 bound to and facilitated an open chromatin state of effector-like signature gene loci in progenitor Tex cells, thereby priming cell fate specification toward the CX3CR1+ Tex subset. Our study un-covers a selective role for HDAC1 in CX3CR1+ Tex subset differentiation, which is essential for controlling viral load during chronic infection.

Chromatin accessibility landscapes of CX3CR1+ effector , CX3CR1- Ly108- exhausted, or Ly108+ progenitor CD8 T cells during chronic viral infection.

Project description:During chronic viral infection, pathogen-specifc CD8+ T cells develop into three main phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets: TCF1hi progenitor, PD-1hi exhausted, and recently identied CX3CR1+ cytotoxic effector cells. Although genetic programs governing progenitor and exhausted subset formation have been well-studied, how CX3CR1+ effector CD8+ T cell differentiation is transcriptionally and epigentically regulated remains elusive. In this study, our single cell transcriptomics and epigenetic assays revealed that three subsets of virus-specific cells were governed by distinct gene regulatory networks (GRNs) and epigenetic landscapes. Computational analyses demonstrated a striking similarity between the CX3CR1+ subset and short-live effector cells (SLECs) from acute LCMV infection. Consistently, genetic deletion of T-bet (Tbx21) significantly diminished the formation and function of the CX3CR1+ subset. Importantly, we identify that the transcription factor (TF) BATF is required to maintain a permissive chromatin structure that allows differentiation transition from TCF1+ progenitor to CX3CR1+ effector cells. Intriguingly, haplodificiency of BATF in CD8+ T cells abolished CX3CR1+ effector subset formation. Lastly, we found that BATF directly bound to key genetic regions such as Tbx21 and modulated their enhancer accessibility to facilitate progenitor to CX3CR1+ effector cell transition. These mechanistic insights can be harnessed to overcome T cell exhaustion in treating chronic infections and cancer.

The pseudokinase Trib1 regulates the transition of exhausted T cells to a KLR+ CD8+ effector state and its deletion improves checkpoint blockade

Project description:CD8+ T cell exhaustion (TEX) impairs the ability of T cells to clear chronic infection or cancer. While TEX are hypofunctional, some TEX retain effector gene signatures, a feature that is associated with expression of KLRs (killer lectin-like receptors). Although KLR+ TEX may improve control of chronic antigen, the signaling molecules regulating this population are poorly understood. Using scRNA-seq, flow cytometry, RNA velocity, and scTCR-seq, we demonstrated that deleting the pseudokinase Trib1 shifted TEX towards CX3CR1+ intermediates (TINT) with robust enrichment of KLR+ TEX (TKLR) via clonal T cell expansion. Adoptive transfer studies demonstrate this shift towards a CD8+ TKLR in Trib1 deficient cells is CD8-intrinsic, while CD4-depletion studies demonstrate that CD4+ T cells are required for optimal viral control in Trib1 conditional knockout mice. Further, Trib1 loss augmented anti-PD-L1 blockade to improve viral clearance. These data identify Trib1 as an important regulator of CD8+ TEX whose targeting enhances the TKLR effector state and improves checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

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.

Enhanced STAT5a activation opposes Tox and rewires exhausted CD8 T cells towards a hybrid durable effector-like state during chronic stimulation [CITE-seq_PostInfection]

Project description:Here, we discovered a reciprocal antagonism between Stat5a and Tox in TEX cells. Stat5a antagonized the Tox-mediated exhaustion program to achieve a durable and protective hybrid effector/NK-like differentiation state in settings that typically drive exhaustion. Stat5 also drove TEX progenitors to differentiate into the effector-like TEXint subset, a key developmental step for PD-1 blockade responsiveness.
