Project description:Blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1) reinvigorates exhausted CD8+ T cells, resulting in tumor regression in cancer patients. Recently, reinvigoration of exhausted CD8+ T cells following PD-1 blockade was shown to be CD28-dependent in mouse models. Herein, we examined the role of CD28 in anti-PD-1-induced human T-cell reinvigoration using tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TILs) obtained from non-small cell lung cancer patients. Single cell analysis demonstrated a distinct expression pattern of CD28 between mouse and human CD8+ TILs. Furthermore, we found that human CD28+CD8+, but not CD28–CD8+ TILs, responded to PD-1 blockade irrespective of B7/CD28 blockade, indicating that CD28 co-stimulation in human CD8+ TILs is dispensable for PD-1 blockade-induced reinvigoration, and loss of CD28 expression rather serve as a marker of anti-PD-1-unresponsive CD8+ TILs. Transcriptionally and phenotypically, PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs exhibited characteristics of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells with low TCF1 expression. Notably, CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs had preserved machinery to respond to IL-15, and IL-15 treatment enhanced proliferation of CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs as well as CD28+PD-1+CD8+ TILs. Taken together, we demonstrate loss of CD28 expression as a marker of PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD8+ TILs with TCF1– signature and provide mechanistic insights into combining IL-15 with anti-PD-1.

Project description:Chronic viral infections are characterized by a state of CD8 T cell dysfunction termed exhaustion. A better understanding of the mechanisms that regulate CD8 T cell responses during chronic infection is required to improve immunotherapies that restore function in exhausted CD8 T cells. Here we identify a novel population of virus-specific CD8 T cells with a T follicular helper (Tfh)-like signature in mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells expressed the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitory receptor but at the same time also expressed co-stimulatory molecules and had a gene signature that was related to CD8 T cell memory precursor cells and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells acted as stem cells during chronic infection undergoing self-renewal and also differentiating into the terminally exhausted CD8 T cells that were present in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. The Tfh-like CD8 T cells were found only in lymphoid tissues and resided predominantly in the T cell zones along with naïve CD8 T cells. Interestingly, the proliferative burst after PD-1 blockade came almost exclusively from this Tfh-like CD8 T cell subset. Importantly, the transcription factor TCF1 played a cell intrinsic and essential role in the generation of Tfh-like CD8 T cells. Taken together, our study identifies Tfh-like CD8 T cells as the critical subset for maintaining the pool of virus-specific CD8 T cells during chronic infection and as the cells that proliferate after PD-1 blockade. These findings provide a better understanding of T cell exhaustion and have implications towards optimizing PD-1 directed immunotherapy. 8 samples isolated from CD8 T-cells in LCMV clone 13 GK1.5 infected mice (2 naïve, 3 CXCR5+Tim3-, 3 CXCR5-Tim3+) cells were analyzed

Project description:While T cell accumulation in tumors is associated with response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), many T cell-rich tumors fail to respond to ICB. Here we leveraged a large neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade trial in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to search for correlates of ICB response within T cell-rich tumors. Paired scRNAseq/TCRseq of nearly one million immune cells revealed that tumor responses to ICB correlated with significant clonal expansion of intratumoral CH25H+CXCL13+IL-21+CD4 T cells and GranzymeK+PD-1+CD8 effector T cells, whereas terminally exhausted CD39hiToxhiPD-1hi CD8 clones dominated in non-responders. Notably, proliferating and progenitor CD8 T cells clones were found in tumors of responders and non-responders. However, tumors from responders were highly enriched in mregDCs, a DC state triggered by capture of tumor debris, which formed physically interacting cellular triads with Tfh-like CD4 and progenitor-like CD8 T cells. Receptor-ligand analysis revealed unique interactions within these triads that may promote progenitor CD8 T cell differentiation into effector cells upon PD-1 blockade. These results suggest that discrete cellular niches that include mregDCs and Tfh-like CD4 T cells might control the differentiation of tumor-specific progenitor CD8 T cell clones into effective anti-tumor T cells in human tumors.

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. Exhuasted CD8+ T cells can be further segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1. We performed transcriptional profiling on both PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells. H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted from C57BL/6 mice 30 days p.i. with LCMV clone 13. These cells were then segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1 into PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate subpopulations. We performed transcriptional profiling on these subpopulations.

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with
advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8
T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Project description:PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is revolutionizing cancer therapy, but little is known about the mechanisms governing its expression. In a whole-genome, dual-marker FACS-based CRISPR/Cas9 screen in primary murine CD8 T cells, we found that inactivation of the EMP24/GP25L/p24 protein family, most prominently TMED10, reduced PD-1 cell-surface stability.

Project description:The reciprocal decline in naive (TN) and increase in virtual (TVM) and true memory (TTM) CD8 T-cell frequencies upon aging is incompletely understood. We established the glycosphingolipid asialo-GM1 (AsGM1) marker present on >70% of TVM/TTM and 5-15% TN to target their immune-regulatory and homeostatic potential. We identified a novel AsGM1+ old CD8 TN-subset that was related to antigen-experienced AsGM1+ CD8 TTM and showed an initial immune-regulatory (Pdcd1, Il10) gene expression signature. The program for AsGM1+ CD8 T-subsets was imprinted genetically in young and old hematopoietic stem cells that reconstitute young and old donor-type immune systems in lymphophenic RAG1-/- mice within 16 weeks, respectively. However, antibody-mediated depletion of AsGM1+ T cells in old mice revealed a disturbed recovery of CD8 TVM resulting in a rejuvenated T-subset composition and T-cell priming capacity upon DNA-vaccination. Old CD8 TVM and IL10+ PD-1+ TTM exerted immune-regulatory functions and suppressed CD3/CD28-mediated activation of TN in vitro. Glycosphingolipids thus are attractive to identify and target novel T-subsets.
