A Pathogenic CD8⁺ TRM–Chemokine Axis Orchestrates Liver Fibrosis and Provides Circulating Biomarkers during Chronic Clonorchis sinensis Infection

ABSTRACT: Clonorchis sinensis, a carcinogenic hepatobiliary trematode, drives severe pathological sequelae in humans. However, the immunological mechanisms underlying its chronic persistence remain incompletely elucidated. We systematically characterized the spatiotemporal dynamics of host immune responses during long-term C. sinensis infection. Systemically, immunity evolved from an early mixed Th1/Th2/Th17 response toward eventual immune resolution. In contrast, hepatic immunity shifted from an initial Th2 bias to sustained pro-inflammatory activation, paralleling progressive liver pathology. Mechanistically, this hepatic immunopathology was driven by the expansion of CD8⁺ tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells, which secreted high levels of CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, granzyme B, and granzyme K. Functional analyses demonstrated that CD8⁺ TRM cells orchestrated immune cell recruitment and fibroblast activation, with CD8⁺ T cell depletion significantly ameliorating liver damage. Notably, CCL4 was predominantly produced by CD8⁺ TRM cells and its serum levels correlated with hepatic pathology in both murine models and human patients with clonorchiasis. Our findings identify CD8⁺ TRM cells and CCL-mediated signaling as key drivers of chronic C. sinensis-induced liver immunopathology, highlighting promising targets for therapeutic intervention.

Dysregulation of hepatic microRNA expression profiles with Clonorchis sinensis infection

Project description:Clonorchiasis remains an important zoonotic parasitic disease worldwide. The molecular mechanisms of host-parasite interaction are not fully understood. Non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are considered to be key regulators in parasitic diseases. The regulation of miRNAs and host micro-environment may be involved in clonorchiasis, and require further investigation. MiRNA microarray technology and bioinformatic analysis were used to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of host miRNA and to compare miRNA expression profiles in the liver tissues of Clonorchis sinensis-infected rats and controls.A total of eight miRNAs were downregulated and two were upregulated, which showed differentially altered expression profiles in the liver tissue of C. sinensis-infected rats. Further analysis of the differentially expressed miRNAs revealed that many important signal pathways were triggered after infection with C. sinensis, which were related to clonorchiasis pathogenesis, such as cell apoptosis and inflammation, as well as genes involved in signal transduction mechanisms, such as pathways in cancer and the Wnt and Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways.This dysregulation in miRNA expression may contribute to the etiology and pathophysiology of clonorchiasis. These results also provide new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in clonorchiasis, which may present potential targets for future C. sinensis control strategies.

Targeting pathogenic CD8+ tissue-resident T cells with chimeric antigen receptor therapy in murine autoimmune cholangitis

Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a cholestatic autoimmune liver disease secondary to an autoreactive T cell response against intrahepatic small bile ducts. Multiple murine models have demonstrated the critical role of effector CD8+T cells in this response and our work has used IL-12p40-/-IL-2Rα-/- mice (DKO mice) to study this issue. Herein we first demonstrated that use of either a CD8a knock-out or an anti-CD8a antibody prevents/reduces biliary immunopathology. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis identifies CD8+ tissue resident memory T cells (Trm) in the liver of DKO mice, which highly express activation and cytotoxicity associated markers and have the ability to induce apoptosis of bile duct epithelial cells. Liver CD8+Trm cells also upregulate expression of several immune checkpoint molecules and in particular we identified PD-1 as a specific liver CD8+Trm cell marker in this model. Based on these data we constructed a novel chimeric antigen receptor containing a PD-L1 extracellular domain to target PD-1-expressing CD8+Trm cells. Importantly, treatment of DKO mice with PD-1 targeting CAR-T cells selectively depleted liver CD8+Trm cells in vivo and alleviated autoimmune cholangitis.

Human cholangiocarcinoma cells treated with Clonorchis sinensis excretory-secretory products.

Project description:Clonorchiasis is associated with bile duct malignancy and the subsequent development of cholangiocarcinoma. Although this is likely caused by adult Clonorchis sinensis and its excretory-secretory products (ESP), the precise molecular mechanisms remain obscure. To evaluate the effect of C. sinensis infection on differential gene expression in host hepatocytes, we used cDNA microarrays in human cholangiocarcinoma cells through the mimicking of C. sinensis infestation, and analyzed differential mRNA expression patterns of host cells.

Human intestinal tissue-resident memory T cells comprise transcriptionally and functionally distinct subsets I

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide key adaptive immune responses in infection, cancer, and autoimmunity. However transcriptional heterogeneity of human intestinal TRM cells remains undefined. Here, we investigated transcriptional and functional heterogeneity of human TRM cells through study of donor-derived intestinal TRM cells from intestinal transplant recipients. Single-cell transcriptional profiling identified two distinct transcriptional states of CD8+ TRM cells, delineated by ITGAE and ITGB2 expression. We defined a transcriptional signature discriminating these two CD8+ populations, including differential expression of cytotoxicity- and residency-associated genes. Flow cytometry of recipient-derived cells infiltrating the graft and lymphocytes from healthy gut confirmed the two CD8+ TRM phenotypes. CD103+ CD8+ TRM cells produced IL-2, and demonstrated greater polyfunctional cytokine production, while β2-integrin+ CD69+ CD103- TRM cells had higher granzyme expression. Phenotypic and functional analysis of intestinal CD4+ T cells identified many parallels, including a distinct β2-integrin+ population. Together, these results describe the transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional heterogeneity of human intestinal CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells.

Small intestine and colon tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells exhibit transcriptional, epigenetic, and functional heterogeneity in concert with differential dependence on Eomesodermin [scATAC-seq]

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+T (TRM) cells are a distinct component of the memory T cell armamentarium found in many tissues. Recent studies have shown disparities among TRM cells across tissues, but it is unknown whether there is heterogeneity among TRM cells from differentanatomic compartments of the small intestine and colon. Herewe show that intestinal TRM cells exhibit distinctive patterns of cytokine and granzyme expression, along with substantial transcriptional, epigenetic, and functional heterogeneity. We elucidate unexpected tissue- and context-specific regulatory roles for the T-box transcription factor Eomesodermin (Eomes), previously described to repressskin, liver, and kidney TRM cell formation, in promoting the maintenance of established TRM cells in the small intestine, but not in the colon. Taken together, these data provide previously unappreciated insights into the heterogeneity and differential requirements for the formation vs. maintenance of TRMcells from the small intestine and colon.

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Cell-Intrinsically Promotes Resident Memory CD8+ T Cell Differentiation and Function

Project description:The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) regulates the differentiation and function of CD4+ T cells; however, the cell-intrinsic role of Ahr in CD8+ T cells, remains elusive. Herein we show that Ahr acts as a promoter of resident memory CD8+ T cell (TRM) differentiation and function. Under steady state conditions or in an oral infection model, genetic ablation of Ahr in CD8+ T cells leads to an increase in CD127–KLRG1+ short lived effector cells (TSLE) and CD44+CD62L+ T central memory (TCM) cells, but a reduction in Granzyme B-producing CD69+CD103+ T resident memory (TRM) cells. Genome-wide transcriptome and cistrome analyses reveal that Ahr suppresses the circulating while promoting the resident memory core gene program. A tumor resident polyfunctional CD8+ T cell population dependent on Ahr is revealed by single cell RNA-Seq, and deletion of Ahr in CD8+ T cells compromises anti-tumor immunity. Consistent with mouse, human IEL CD8+ T cells highly express AHR that regulates in vitro TRM differentiation and Granzyme B production. Collectively, these data suggest that Ahr is an important cell-intrinsic factor for CD8+ T cell immunity.
