Mitochondrial ATP production promotes T cell differentiation and function by regulating chromatin accessibility [RNAseq2]

ABSTRACT: Immune elimination of chronic infection or cancer requires cytotoxic CD8 T cells that adopt and maintain an effector phenotype. Cytotoxic T cell function is a bioenergetically demanding process and T cells subjected to chronic antigen exposure have compromised effector function despite high rates of glycolysis. Here we report the ability of the short chain fatty acid, D-α-hydroxybutyrate, to act as a signaling molecule that increases mitochondrial ATP production and drives the conversion of proliferating T cells into cytotoxic effector cells. DAHB signaling switches ATP production from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation, even in glucose-replete media. This conversion suppresses both AMPK phosphorylation and the integrated stress response (ISR) in activated T cells while significantly elevating the level of the phosphagen, phosphocreatine (PCr). Both the PCr bioenergetic reserve and oxidative phosphorylation were required for T cell effector differentiation. DAHB-induction of CD8-effector gene transcription was coupled to bioenergetics by enhanced ATP-dependent remodeling of chromatin accessibility at effector gene loci. DAHB enhanced CD8 T cell antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, and DAHB treatment of transferred T cells led to persistent in vivo antitumor effects. Together, these findings link cellular bioenergetics to the regulation of chromatin accessibility and gene expression required to support effector function.

Sodium chloride in the tumor microenvironment enhances T cell metabolic fitness and cytotoxicity

Project description:The efficacy of antitumor immunity is associated with the metabolic state of cytotoxic T cells, which is highly amenable to perturbation by the tumor microenvironment. It is therefore of tremendous interest to bypass immunosuppressive signaling in the tumor microenvironment and to identify factors that augment T cell immunometabolism, cytotoxic effector functions and eventually tumor killing. Whether ionic signals serve as aberrant immune signals and influence the adaptive human antitumor immune response is still largely unexplored. We demonstrate a significant enrichment of sodium in solid tumors of breast cancer patients, which leaves a transcriptomic imprint on intratumoral immune cells. Sodium chloride (NaCl) enhanced the activation state and effector functions of human CD8+ memory T cells. These functional alterations were associated with improved metabolic fitness, in particular with an increase in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation and overall nutrient uptake. These NaCl-induced effects translated into increased tumor cell killing in vitro and in a tumor mouse model in vivo. We therefore propose NaCl as a positive regulator of acute antitumor immunity, which could be harnessed for ex vivo conditioning of adoptively transferred T cells in the future.

Foxp3 expression diversifies the metabolic capacity and enhances the efficacy of CD8 T cells in adoptive T cell therapy

Project description:CD4 regulatory T cells overwhelm conventional T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) thanks to a Foxp3-driven metabolic program that allows them to use alternate substrate and engage different metabolic pathways. In this study, we proposed to overexpress Foxp3 in CD8 T cells (CTL) and examine how it affected their antitumor properties. We show that Foxp3 overexpressing (Foxp3UP) CTLs proliferated and markedly accumulated in the TME while showing enhanced cytotoxicity and antitumor efficacy but not suppressor activity. Interestingly, tumor-infiltrating Foxp3UP CTLs exhibited a T-cell effector and leukocyte migration genetic signature, and positive enrichment in glycolysis, fatty acid (FA) metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathways. Intratumoral Foxp3UP CTLs showed an increased expression of Glut1, enhanced glucose and FA uptake and intracellular lipid accumulation. Interestingly, Foxp3UP CTLs compensated for the loss of mitochondrial respiration-driven ATP production by activating aerobic glycolysis. Moreover, in limiting nutrient conditions these cells engaged FA oxidation to drive OXPHOS for their energetic demands. Further, their ability to couple glycolysis and OXPHOS allowed then to sustain proliferation under glucose restriction. Our findings demonstrate a hitherto unknown role of Foxp3 in the adaptation of CTLs to TME that can be used to enhance their efficacy in adoptive T cell therapy

LRIG1 engages ligand VISTA and impairs tumor-specific CD8+ T cell responses

Project description:Cancer immunotherapies boost antitumor immunity and improve the survival of cancer patients. V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA) is an immune 20 checkpoint target but presents elusive signaling mechanisms. We report a novel VISTA binding partner, Leucine-Rich Repeats and Immunoglobulin Like Domains 1 (LRIG1), which acts as an inhibitory receptor by engaging VISTA and suppressing T cell receptor signaling pathways. Mice with T cell-specific LRIG1 deletion developed superior antitumor T cell responses. Mechanistically, LRIG1-deficient tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) exhibited longer 25 persistence due to improved expansion and survival and greater effector function. Sustained tumor control was also associated with a reduction of quiescent CTLs (TCF1+ CD62Lhi PD-1low) and a reciprocal increase in progenitor and memory-like CTLs (TCF1+ PD-1+). In human melanoma, an elevated LRIG1 expression on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ CTLs correlated with resistance to immunotherapies. Taken together, these results delineate the role of LRIG1 as an inhibitory 30 immune checkpoint receptor and propose a rationale for targeting the VISTA/LRIG1 axis for cancer immunotherapy.

Comparative analysis of intra- and extracellular vesicles from cytotoxic CD8+ αβ T cells and γδ T cells

Project description:Although belonging to different branches of the immune system, cytotoxic CD8+ αβ T cells and γδ T cells utilize common cytolytic effectors including FasL, granzymes, perforin and granulysin. The effector proteins are stored in different subsets of lysosome-related effector vesicles (LREVs) and released to the immunological synapse upon target cell encounter. EVs of activated and expanded cytotoxic CD8+ αβ T cells or γδ T cells were enriched from culture supernatants by differential and ultracentrifugation and characterized by a comparative proteomic profiling with tandem mass tags (TMT10plex).

The transcription factor IRF4 is essential for T cell receptor affinity mediated metabolic programming and clonal expansion of T cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We demonstrate that transcription factor IRF4 is induced in a T cell receptor (TCR) affinity-dependent manner and functions as a dose-dependent regulator of the metabolic function of activated T cells. IRF4 regulates the expression of key molecules required for aerobic glycolysis of effector T cells, and is essential for clonal expansion and maintenance of effector function of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Examination of binding sites of transcription factor IRF4 in mouse CD8+ T cells.

Non-canonical BIM-regulated energy metabolism determines drug-induced liver necrosis.

Project description:Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) overdose severely damages mitochondria and triggers several apoptotic processes in hepatocytes, but the final outcome is fulminant necrotic cell death, resulting in acute liver failure and mortality. Here, we studied this switch of cell death modes and demonstrate a non-canonical role of the apoptosis-regulating BCL-2 homolog BIM/Bcl2l11 in promoting necrosis by regulating cellular bioenergetics. BIM deficiency enhanced total ATP production and shifted the bioenergetic profile towards glycolysis, resulting in persistent protection from APAP-induced liver injury. Modulation of glucose levels and deletion of mitofusins confirmed that severe APAP toxicity occurs only in cells dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolytic hepatocytes maintained elevated ATP levels and reduced ROS, which enabled lysosomal recycling of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. The present study highlights how metabolism and bioenergetics affect drug-induced liver toxicity, and identifies BIM as important regulator of glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and oxidative stress signaling.
