Self-tolerance maintained by self-reactive CD8+ T cells

ABSTRACT: CD8+ T cells play a critical role in immune tolerance maintainnance after immune activation. It is known to function through targeting activated CD4+ T cells, in both Qa-1- and MHC-Ia-restricted9 manner. However, the exact nature of this targeting process, i.e., the specific peptides and the corresponding reactive CD8 TCRs, remains unknown. In this study, we identified the self-peptides on activated CD4+ T cells that could mediate the CD8+ T cells immunosuppressive activity. By cloning the corresponding CD8 TCRs and the generation of TCR transgenic mice , we were able to validate the immunosuppressive function of CD8+ T cells carrying the self-reactive TCRs both in vitro and in vivo. The therapeutic potential of peptide vaccination and CD8+ T cell transfer were confirmed in a mouse EAE model. This study suggest that self-tolerance can be maintained by self-reactive CD8+ T cells recognizing self-antigenic peptides through specific TCRs, thus redefine the nature of CD8+ regulatory T cells as self-reactive CD8+ T cells.

Eomes identifies thymic precursors of self-specific memory-phenotype CD8+ T cells

Project description:Unprimed mice harbor a substantial population of "memory-phenotype" CD8+ T cells (CD8-MP cells) that exhibit hallmarks of activation and innate-like functional properties. Due to the lack of faithful markers to distinguish CD8-MP cells from bona fide CD8+ memory T cells, the developmental origins and antigen specificities of CD8-MP cells remain incompletely defined. Using deep T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing, we found that the TCRs expressed by CD8-MP cells are highly recurrent and distinct from the TCRs expressed by naive-phenotype CD8+ T cells. CD8-MP clones exhibited reactivity to widely expressed self-ligands. T cell precursors expressing CD8-MP TCRs upregulated the transcription factor Eomes during maturation in the thymus, prior to induction of the full memory phenotype, suggestive of a unique program triggered by recognition of self-ligands. Moreover, CD8-MP cells infiltrate oncogene-driven prostate tumors and express high densities of PD-1, suggesting a potential role in anti-tumor immunity and response to immunotherapy.

ECM29/Proteasome-Mediated Self-Antigen Generation by CNS-Resident Neuroglia Promotes Regulatory T Cell Activation

Project description:Proteasomes generate antigenic peptides presented on cell surfaces - a process that in neuroglia is highly responsive to external stimuli. However, the function of the self-antigens presented by CNS parenchymal cells remains unclear. Here, we report that the fidelity of neuroglial self-antigens is crucial to suppress encephalitogenic T cell responses via elevating regulatory T cell (Treg) populations. We demonstrate that loss of the proteasome adaptor protein Ecm29 alters the efficacy and accuracy of antigen generation. Inducible oligodendroglia- or microglia conditional Ecm29 knockout mice exhibit higher susceptibility of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) than control counterparts, coincident with reduced Tregs populations in spinal cord. Immunopeptidome profiling identifies self-antigens that modulate myelin-reactive T cell responses. Intraspinal AAV/Olig001-mediated expression of the self-antigen NDUFA1p ameliorated EAE and expands NDUFA1p-recognizing CD103+CD8+CD122+ Tregs. Thus, Ecm29/proteasome-controlled, neuroglia-derived self-antigens modulate CNS immune tolerance.

MHC II regulation of CD8+ T cell tolerance and implications in autoimmunity and cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Previous studies suggested the presence of MHC class II-reactive CD8+ T cells in humans and animals, but little is known about their identity, development and function. In this study, we discovered a group of CD8+ T cells bearing T cell receptors (TCRs) reactive to both MHC I and II molecules in MHC II-deficient mice. We cloned their TCRs and analyzed their development and function. In wild type animals, thymocytes bearing those TCRs were purged by negative selection. In the absence of MHC II, they developed into CD8+ T cells and entered the peripheral T cell pool. When encountering MHC II in the periphery, they underwent robust activation and proliferation, attacked self-tissues, and caused lethal autoimmune diseases. In adoptive T cell therapy, CD8+ T cells bearing those TCRs were able to efficiently control MHC II-expressing tumors. This study opens the door to investigate dual-reactive CD8+ T cells, their development and selection in the thymus, and the peril and promise when their normal development and selection are compromised.

Mtb HLA-E tetramer sorted CD8+ T-cells have a diverse TCR repertoire

Project description:HLA-E molecules can present self and pathogen-derived peptides to both NK-cells and T-cells. T-cells that recognize HLA-E peptides via their T-cell receptor (TCR) are termed donor-unrestricted T-cells due to restricted allelic variation of HLA-E. The composition and repertoire of HLA-E TCRs is not known so far. We performed TCR sequencing on CD8+ T-cells from 21 individuals recognizing HLA-E tetramers (TM) folded with 2 Mtb HLA-E restricted peptides. We sorted HLA-E Mtb TM+ and TMCD8+ T-cells directly ex vivo and performed bulk RNA-sequencing and single cell TCR sequencing. The identified TCR repertoire was diverse and showed no conservation between and within individuals. TCRs selected from our single cell TCR sequencing data could be activated upon HLA-E/peptide stimulation, although not robust, reflecting potentially weak interactions between HLA-E peptide complexes and TCRs. Thus, HLA-E Mtb specific T-cells have a highly diverse TCR repertoire.

Tconv and Treg gene expression and repertoire analysis of ZAC mice

Project description:Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are believed to be caused, in part, by a defect in the selection of T cells. Developing T cells undergo a process known as “negative selection” where self-derived proteins are presented to the cells; those that react to the self-peptides are either eliminated, or develop into regulatory T cells (Tregs), which suppress immune responses by conventional T cells (Tconvs). In order to study self-reactive T cell receptors (TCRs), and their likely target antigens, we performed single cell repertoire analysis in ZAC mice with impaired TCR signaling. We sequenced TCR and transcriptomes of Treg and Tconv single cells from arthritic ZAC mice spleen (n=2). We discovered a cluster of pro-inflammatory Th17 Tconv cells in ZAC spleens that was absent in WT mice. ZAC Th17 TCRs showed clonal expansion. Different mice had different TCR sequences, which is expected.

Single cell RNA-seq of HLA-E restricted UL40-specific T cells

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) can stimulate robust human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E restricted CD8 T cell responses. These T cells recognize a peptide from UL40, which differs by as little as a single methyl group from self-peptides that also bind HLA-E, challenging their capacity to avoid self-reactivity. We showed in one donor 2 distinct populations of UL40/HLA-E T cells, with vastly different T cell receptor (TCR) affinities for the UL40/HLA-E complex. However, paradoxically, lower cytokine responses were observed from UL40/HLA-E T cells bearing TCRs with high affinity for HLA-E. To identify why these T cells bearing high affinity T cell receptors were less responsive to antigens, we performed single cell RNAseq analysis. These 2 distinct populations of T cells were single-cell sorted into 96-well plates prior to single cell RNA-seq analysis.

Gene expression profile of murine tolerant, self-antigen specific CD8 T cells

Project description:Genomewide microarray analysis of murine tolerant, self-antigen specific CD8 T cells to identify genes and pathways underlying peripheral T cell tolerance Gene signature of tolerant CD8 T cells was compared to the signatures of naïve T cells, memory T cells, rescued T cells (=tolerant T cells undergoing homeostatic proliferation in lymphopenic, tolerogenic Alb:GAG mice), and re-tolerized T cells (=previously rescued T cells post homeostatic proliferation isolated from lymphoreplete wild-type B6 mice). Total RNA obtained from various sort-purified transgenic CD8 T cell subsets (naïve, memory, tolerant, rescued, and re-tolerized) isolated from spleens of different host mice

Machine learning analysis of the T cell receptor repertoire identifies sequence features that predict self-reactivity

Project description:The T cell receptor (TCR) determines the specificity and affinity for both foreign and self-peptides presented by MHC. It is established that self-pMHC reactivity impacts T cell function, but it has been challenging to identify TCR sequence features that predict T cell fate. To discern patterns distinguishing TCRs from naïve CD4+ T cells with low versus high self-pMHC reactivity, we used data from 42 mice to train a machine learning (ML) algorithm that predicts self-reactivity directly from TCRβ sequences. This approach revealed that n-nucleotide additions and acidic amino acids weaken selfreactivity. We tested our ML predictions of TCRβ sequence self-reactivity using retrogenic mice. Extrapolating our analyses to independent datasets, we found high predicted self-reactivity for regulatory CD4+ T cells and low predicted self-reactivity for T cells responding to chronic infection. Our analyses suggest a potential trade-off between repertoire diversity and self-reactivity intrinsic to the architecture of a TCR repertoire.

Germline-like TCR alpha chains dominate shared self-reactive T cell receptors in type 1 diabetes

Project description:Human islet antigen reactive CD4+ memory T cells (IAR T cells) play a key role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). Using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify T cell receptors (TCRs) in IAR T cells, we have identified a class of TCRs that share TCR alpha chains between individuals (“public”).
