CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes recruited from peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells represent functionally distinct lineages [TCR-seq]

ABSTRACT: The TCRαβ CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) play a significant role in primary immune defence in the small intestine. The canonical model of their development distinguishes TCRαβ IELs into induced and natural (TCRαβ CD8αα+) types, each influenced by distinct developmental pathways and antigen encounters. It is believed that natural CD8αα+ IELs differentiate solely from triple positive (TP) CD4+CD8αβ+CD8αα+ thymic progenitors that recognized self MHC-peptide complexes with high affinity but avoided deletion during selection. Our investigation reveals that, in addition to this central commitment, the CD8αα+ IELs undergo in situ enrichment through recruitment from peripheral CD4+ and CD8αβ+ T cell populations. We found that the functional makeup of individual clones within the CD8αα+ IEL subset is dictated by their origin. We demonstrate that expression of Bmp7 or Ly49 (Ly49C, F, H, and I) serve as markers indicating the CD8αα+ IELs’ peripheral provenance: CD8αβ+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes, respectively.

BCL6 is required for the thymic development of TCRαβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocyte lineage

Project description:TCRαβ+CD8αα+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (CD8αα+ αβ IELs), a specialized subset of T cells in the gut epithelium, develop from thymic agonist-selected IEL precursors (IELps). The molecular mechanisms underlying the selection and differentiation of this T cell type in the thymus are largely unknown. Here, we found that Bcl6 deficiency in αβ T cells resulted in nearly the absence of CD8αα+ αβ IELs. BCL6 was expressed by approximately 50% of CD8αα+ αβ IELs but the majority thymic PD1+ IELps post agonist selection; its deficiency blocked early IELp generation in the thymus. Moreover, BCL6 expression in IELps was induced by thymic TCR signaling in an ERK-dependent manner. As a result of Bcl6 deficiency, the precursors of IELps among CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes exhibited increased apoptosis during agonist selection, and impaired IELp differentiation and maturation. Taken together, our results elucidate BCL6 as a crucial transcription factor during the thymic development of CD8αα+ αβ IELs.

Heterogeneity of CD8αα intraepithelial lymphocytes is transcriptionally conserved between TCRαβ and TCRγδ cells

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are a versatile population of immune cells with both effector and regulatory roles in gut immunity. Although this functional diversity is thought to arise from distinct IEL subpopulations, the heterogeneity of TCRαβ+ and TCRγδ+ IELs have not been well-characterized. Here, we sorted small intestinal IELs from Vil1 Cre+ R26 ZsGreen+ mice into four groups based on expression of either TCR or TCR and fluorescence intensity of ZsGreen and performed scRNAseq. We identified CD8αα+ T cell subsets with memory-like (Tcf7⁺) and effector-like (Prdm1⁺) profiles in both TCRαβ+ and TCRγδ+ IELs. Using CD160 and CD122 as markers of memory-like and effector-like cells, respectively, we found that while effector-like cells dominated the small intestine, memory-like IELs were more prevalent in the large intestine, suggesting a functional specialization of immune responses along the gut. Further transcriptional analysis revealed shared profiles between TCRαβ+ and TCRγδ+ small intestinal IEL subsets, suggesting conserved functional roles across these populations. Finally, our analysis indicated that TCRαβ+ memory-like IELs arise from Tcf7⁺ double-negative (DN) precursors, and that effector-like IELs subsequently differentiate from the memory-like population. In contrast, TCRγδ+ IELs appear to originate from two distinct precursor populations, one expressing Tcf7 and the other Zeb2, indicating the presence of parallel developmental pathways within this lineage. Overall, our findings reveal that both TCRαβ+ and TCRγδ+ cells contain memory-like and effector-like subsets, which may contribute to the functional heterogeneity of IELs.

Tissue adaptation is the dominant driver of the proteomic landscape of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) patrol the single layer of epithelial cells lining the gut, and consist of both induced T-IEL, derived from systemic antigen-experienced lymphocytes, and natural IEL, that are developmentally targeted to the intestine. To gain functional insights into these enigmatic cells, we used high-resolution quantitative mass spectrometry to investigate the proteomic landscape of the main T-IEL populations in the gut. Comparing the proteomes of induced T-IEL, tissue-resident memory TCRαβ+ CD8αβ+ cells and natural TCRγδ+ CD8αα+ and TCRαβ+ CD8αα+ T-IEL, with naive CD8+ T cells from lymph nodes reveals striking similarities between T-IEL subsets and the dominant effect of the gut environment on T-IEL phenotypes. Analysis of copy numbers/cell of >7000 proteins provides new understanding of the differences in composition of T cell antigen receptor signal transduction pathways in T-IEL versus conventional T cells and reveals skewing of the metabolic machinery towards an exhausted T cell phenotype adapted to the intestinal environment. This study provides a resource for exploring and understanding how multiple inputs are integrated into T-IEL function.

Gene expression signatures for CD8αβ+ intraepithelial lymphocytes and CD8αβ+ splenocytes.

Project description:CD8αβ+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are a subset of “effector-memory-like” T cells scattered along the intestinal epithelium. To investigate if CD8αβ+ IEL can function in ways other than the conventional cytotoxic effect of CD8αβ+ T cells,CD8αβ+ IELs were compared with CD8αβ+ splenocytes (SPL) by RNA-seq. We used microarrays to identify new functions of CD8αβ+ IELs .

Comprehensive proteomics analyses of IL-15 driven activation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes

Project description:Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are an abundant population of tissue-resident T cells that protect the gut from pathogens and maintain intestinal homeostasis. The cytokine IL-15 is trans-presented by epithelial cells to IEL in complex with the IL-15 receptor α chain (IL-15Rα) and plays essential roles both in maintaining IEL homeostasis, and in inducing IEL activation in response to epithelial stress. When overproduced, IL-15 is a key driver of the gluten-induced enteropathy Coeliac disease, through cytotoxic activation of IEL. To better understand how IL-15 directly regulates both homeostatic and inflammatory functions of IEL, we performed quantitative proteomics of IL-15/Rα-stimulated murine IEL, sorted into their 3 main subpopulations, TCRγδ CD8αα, TCRαβ CD8αβ and TCRαβ CD8αα expressing IEL. The data reveal that high IL-15/Rα stimulation licenses cell cycle activation, upregulates the biosynthetic machinery in IEL, increases mitochondrial respiratory capacity and induces expression of cell surface immune receptors and adhesion proteins that potentially drive IEL activation.

Gene expression profile of regenerated CD8αα T cells and CD8αβ T cells from LMP2 T-iPSCs

Project description:Whereas cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) represent the most promising therapeutic avenue in cancer immunotherapy, adaptive transfer of antigen-specific CTLs has faced difficulty in efficient expansion of CTLs from patients in ex vivo culture. To solve this issue, several groups have proposed that the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology can be applied for the expansion of antigen-specific CTLs: when iPSCs are produced from antigen-specific CTLs and CTLs are induced from these iPSCs, all regenerated CTLs express the same TCR as original CTLs. However, in these previous studies, one critical issue remains to be solved. With current methods, the regenerated CTLs are mostly of the CD8αα+ innate type and have less antigen-specific cytotoxic activity than primary CTLs. Here we report that, by stimulating purified iPSC-derived CD4/CD8 double positive (DP) cells with anti-CD3 antibody, T cells expressing CD8αβ were generated and they had cytotoxic activity comparable to primary CTLs.
