Lung microenvironment effects on T cells following Francisella tularensis vaccination

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary infections often fail to produce long-lived immune memory and the underlying mechanism(s) remain unclear. We undertook a multiomics approach to compare adaptive immunity in two bacterial infections: Bordetella pertussis and Francisella tularensis. Both infections require CD4+ T cells, but B. pertussis results in long-lived memory responses whereas F. tularensis does not. Single cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry revealed CD4+ T cells favored proliferation immediately after secondary B. pertussis infection but stagnated during F. tularensis challenge. Instead, rapid IFN-γ production by F. tularensis-elicited T cells induced IDO1 expression in endothelial cells, depleting pulmonary tryptophan and increasing kynurenine. This metabolic shift correlated with poor T cell proliferation and retention. Additionally, IDO1 knock-out resulted in larger T cell pools and improved survival during F. tularensis infection. Imaging confirmed the spatial association of immune cell centers and IDO1-expressing macrovascular endothelial cells underscoring the microenvironment’s impact on T cell function. Our study highlights the utility of multiomics in understanding cellular interactions within complex tissues.

Context-specific requirements of Tet enzymes in the modulation of CD8 effector and memory cell fates during acute viral infection [Cut&Tag]

Project description:In response to infections, naïve CD8 T cells give rise effector and memory T cells. However, eliciting long-lived memory CD8T cells remains a challenge for many infections. DNA demethylation of cytosines within CpG dinucleotides by Tet enzymes is a key epigenetic mechanism that regulate transcriptional programs. However, their roles in CD8 T cell memory differentiation is unclear. We report that following viral infection, Tet1/3-deficient CD8 T cells preferentially differentiate into short-lived effectors and effector memory cells. Using genome-wide DNA methylation and mice, in which Tet1/3 were ablated during T cell development and in mature CD8 T cells, respectively, we established that Tet1/3 regulate these cell fates by licensing the chromatin landscape of genes downstream of T cell receptor signaling during thymic T cell maturation. These findings unveil the context-specific roles of DNA demethylation, which is essential for defining pathways that contribute to CD8 memory T cell generation against infectious diseases.

RNA-Seq of CD8+ T cell subsets during LCMV infection III

Project description:Memory CD8 T lymphocytes are a long-lived population of immune cells that provide formidable protection against infections and malignancy, and are thus often central to vaccine and cancer immunotherapy efficacy. Here we refine the identity, developmental relationships, and functional roles of memory CD8 T cells through delineation of a descrete population that confers robust protection against reinfection and exhibits an unexpected molecular program bearing typically divergent characteristics of short-lived effector cells and long-lived memory T cells. Mass-cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses revealed an analogous population of cells in humans. These findings hold broad implications for both informing immunotherapy treatments and predicting their efficacy.

PI3Kd coordinates transcriptional, epigenetic and metabolic changes to promote effector CD8+ T cells differentiation at the expense of memory.

Project description:Patients with Activated-PI3Kd Syndrome (APDS) present with sinopulmonary infections, lymphadenopathy and CMV and/or EBV viremia, yet why patients fail to clear certain viral infections remains incompletely understood. Using patient samples and a mouse model (Pik3cdE1020K/+ mice), we demonstrate that, upon activation, Pik3cdE1020K/+ CD8+ T cells exhibit exaggerated features of short-lived effectors both in vitro and post-viral infection, including increased Fas-mediated apoptosis due to sustained FoxO1 phosphorylation and derepression of FasL. Activated Pik3cdE1020K/+ CD8+ T cells displayed enhanced mTORC1 and c-Myc signatures, accompanied by metabolic perturbations linked to an accelerated effector program. Conversely, Pik3cdE1020K/+ CD8+ T cells failed to sustain expression of proteins critical for maintenance of long-lived memory cells, including TCF1, and mounted inadequate memory responses in vivo. Strikingly, activated Pik3cdE1020K/+ CD8+ T cells exhibit altered transcriptional and epigenetic circuits characterized by a pronounced IL-2/STAT5 signature associated with heightened IL-2 responses that prevented differentiation to memory-like cells in the presence of IL-15. Our data position PI3Kd as a central hub integrating multiple signaling nodes that promote terminal CD8+ T cell effector differentiation at the expense of memory and long-lived T cell responses.

Plasmodium-specific atypical memory B cells are short-lived activated B cells

Project description:Chronic infections such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria in humans are associated with the appearance of atypical memory B cells in peripheral blood. It has been suggested that these B cells do not function normally as memory cells, and thus may be responsible for poor acquisition of immunity and maintenance of chronic infections. Studies on these cells in human infections are limited by the lack of accessibility to lymphoid organs, and relevant mouse models would be valuable to investigate their development, functional capacities, and role. To investigate Plasmodium-specific memory B-cell responses during malaria, we generated an immunoglobin heavy chain knock-in mouse with a B-cell receptor that recognizes the merozoite surface protein (MSP)-1 of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi. Using this mouse and a P. chabaudi infection initiated by infected mosquito bites we show that antigen-specific B cells with many characteristics of human atypical memory B cells are generated. These cells are immunoglobulin class-switched and express, among others, the cell surface molecules CD11c, CD11b, FCRL5, and some inhibitory receptors including PD1 and LAIR-1, as well as the transcription factor T-bet. Antigen-specific atypical memory B cells are detected side-by-side with classical memory B cells during chronic blood-stage infection. Whereas classical memory B cells persist after complete infection clearance, atypical memory B cells are short-lived and disappear from the spleen at the resolution of chronic infection. Short-lived Plasmodium-specific atypical B cells also appear transiently after immunization with a TLR7/8 ligand and MSP-1. Our data suggest that these atypical memory B cells are not a subset of memory B cells, but rather antigen-experienced activated cells, and part of a normal ongoing response. Their persistence over weeks in malaria and other infections may be a consequence of continued and chronic antigenic stimulation.

Transcriptional and phenotypic profile of lung-resident memory B cells induced by influenza infection

Project description:Long-lived, tissue-resident memory B cells (BRM) are established in the lungs of mice after pulmonary influenza infection. Influenza-specific BRM were localised within inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissues (iBALT) and displayed phenotypic and transcriptional signatures reminiscent of tissue-resident T cells, distinct from classical memory B cells in the blood or secondary lymphoid sites.

Circulating KLRG1+ memory T cells retain the flexibility to become tissue-resident

Project description:KLRG1+ CD8 T cells persist for months after clearance of acute infections and maintain high levels of effector molecules, contributing protective immunity against systemic pathogens. Upon secondary infection, these long-lived effector cells (LLECs) are incapable of forming other circulating KLRG1− memory subsets such as central and effector memory T cells. Thus, KLRG1+ memory T cells are frequently referred to as a terminally differentiated population that is relatively short lived. Here, we show that following viral infection of mice, effector cells derived from LLEC rapidly enter nonlymphoid tissues and reduce pathogen burden, but are largely dependent on receiving antigen cues from vascular endothelial cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that secondary memory cells in nonlymphoid tissues arising from either KLRG1+ or KLRG1− memory precursors developed a similar transcriptional signature. Thus, although LLEC cannot differentiate into other circulating memory populations, they still retain the flexibility to enter tissues and establish residency.
