Mechanosensing by T cells promotes a tissue-resident memory transcriptional program

ABSTRACT: Cell migration and strategic positioning within tissues is critical for the rapid mobilization of a T cell response. T cells must remain motile in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues, which vary widely in mechanical properties such as stiffness. Here we showed that activated T cells sensed mechanical cues and responded with changes in cell morphology, nuclear envelope composition and initiation of DNA repair to protect their genomic material from force-mediated damage. Increased mechanical input also drove the transcriptional reprogramming of activated T cells, including changes in many of the core genes shared by tissue resident memory T (TRM) cells across diverse tissues, by modulating the expression of the TRM cell-associated transcription factors Klf2, Runx3 and Hic1. Thus, mechanosensing by activated T cells impacted T cell fate, promoting a transcriptional program associated with tissue-residency.

Phosphoproteomics of cellular mechanosensing reveals NFATC4 as a regulator of myofibroblast activity

Project description:Feedback connections between tissue stiffness and cellular contractile forces can instruct cell identity and activity via a process referred to as mechanosensing. Specific phosphoproteome changes during mechanosensing are poorly characterized. In this work, we chart the global phosphoproteome dynamics of primary human lung fibroblasts sensing the stiffness of injury relevant fibronectin coated Poly(dimethylsiloxane) substrates. We discovered a key signaling threshold at a Young's modulus of eight kPa stiffness, above which cells activated a large number of pathways including RhoA, CK2A1, PKA, AMPK, AKT1, and Hippo-YAP1/TAZ mediated signaling. Time-resolved phosphoproteomics of cell spreading on stiff substrates revealed the temporal dynamics of these stiffness-sensitive signaling pathways. ECM substrate stiffness above eight kPA induced fibroblast contractility, cytoskeletal rearrangements, ECM secretion, and a fibroblast to myofibroblast transition. Our data indicate that phosphorylation of the transcriptional regulator NFATC4 at S213/S217 enhances myofibroblast activity, which is the key hallmark of fibrotic diseases. NFATC4 knock down cells display reduced stiffness induced collagen secretion, collagen gel contraction, and cell invasion, suggesting NFATC4 as a novel target for antifibrotic therapy.

Glucose metabolism influences the adaptive response of osteocytes to mechanical stimuli via CCN1

Project description:Bone loss is a diabetic-related complication. Chronic hyperglycemia affects bone quality, quantity and function1. Recently, reduced bone response to mechanical loading in diabetic mice have been reported2. However, it remains unclear whether hyperglycemic condition affects mechanosensing of osteocytes known as mechanical sensor cells through the changes of molecular mechanism. In this study, we addressed the identification of mechano-sensitive and glucose-dependent molecular mechanisms in osteocytes. First, we isolated osteocyte related mechanosensitive genes by examining bone tissues and osteocytic cells derived from in vivo and in vitro mechanical loading model. RNA sequencing analysis of a murine bone tissues exposed to 6 weeks of voluntary wheel running showed 146 genes were respond to mechanical loading. Of these genes, 4 genes were also reacted to ultrasound stimulation in murine osteocytic cell line. Only one gene of 4 genes, Ccn1 (cysteine-rich 61, Cyr61), was upregulated by both wheel running exercise in vivo and ultra sound stimulation in vitro. Thus, Ccn1 was considered specific candidate gene for mechanosensing in osteocytes. Next, we examined the effect of glucose level on CCN1 expression induced by mechanical stimuli by using obese mice model and high-glucose-exposed osteocytic cells. The mechanical stress-induced elevation of CCN1 expression was totally abolished by high glucose condition both in mice bone and osteocytic cells. Our findings support a new role of CCN1 as a glucose dependent mechanosensing molecules in osteocytes contributing to diabetic bone abnormality.

RNA-Seq analysis of Tcf7-deficient and -sufficient lung CD8+ TRM cells after influenza infection

Project description:T cell factor 1 (Tcf1, encoded by Tcf7) promotes the central memory CD8+ T cell (TCM) differentiation and homeostatic proliferation in lymphoid tissues. It remains unclear if and how Tcf1 regulates the CD103high tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cell (TRM) formation in non-lymphoid tissues. Using an influenza A infection mouse model, we collected Tcf7-deficient and -sufficient lung CD8+ TRM cells for RNA sequencing analysis.

CD69 regulates the tissue dynamics of epigenetically imprinted memory CD4+ T cells [RNA-seq_ATAC-seq]

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells reside in non-lymphoid tissues and provide the first line of defense against pathogens. A subset of TRM cells can egress from non-lymphoid tissues into the circulation. However, the functional consequences and the extent of epigenetic imprinting in recirculating TRM cells remain unknown. We herein demonstrate that in CD4+ TRM cells, the CD69-S1PR1 axis controls tissue residency, and that interrupting this axis results in ablation of lung CD4+ TRM cells. A subpopulation of CD69+CD4+ TRM cells re-entered circulation via lymphatic vessels, where they epigenetically maintained the characteristics of TRM cells in both mice and humans. Circulating Ex-lung-TRM cells in mice caused enhanced skin inflammation compared to circulating memory cells. Furthermore, we identified GPR183 and CD161 as potential markers of Ex-TRM in human PBMC. In chronic inflammatory diseases, the transposition of allergic inflammation to multiple tissues may therefore occur via recirculation of tissue-imprinted memory CD4+ T cells.

Heterogeneous maintenance of human tissue resident memory T cells based on efflux capacities

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) accelerate pathogen clearance through rapid and enhanced functional responses in situ. In humans, TRM cells are prevalent in diverse anatomic sites throughout the human lifespan, yet mechanisms for long-term maintenance are unknown. Here, we identify subpopulations of human TRM in mucosal and lymphoid sites based on differential efflux of mitochondrial dyes, with distinct transcriptional profiles, turnover, and functional capacities. TRM are enriched in efflux(+) populations compared with circulating memory CD8+T cells. Compared to efflux- TRM, efflux(+) TRM showed transcriptional and phenotypic features of quiescence including reduced turnover, decreased expression of exhaustion markers, and increased proliferative capacity and signaling to homeostatic cytokines. Moreover, efflux(+) and efflux(-) TRM subsets both maintain TRM characteristics when activated, while efflux(+) TRM produce IL-17 and efflux(-) produce higher levels of IFN-γ and IL-2. Our results suggest a model for cooperative maintenance of T cell immunity in tissues through interplay of subsets with complementary capacities for longevity and effector function.
