Effector differentiation by stem-like intraepithelial γδ T cells is required for host defense against infection

ABSTRACT: Intraepithelial γδ T cells (γδIELs) are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis, yet their functional regulation remains incompletely understood. Here, we identified two distinct γδIEL subsets: CD160+TCF1+BCL6+ stem-like and granzymeB+BLIMP1+ effector-like cells; the latter exhibited cytotoxic activity. Stem-like γδIELs differentiated into effector-like cells in response to microbiota and pathogen infection. IL-12, in cooperation with IL-15 and TCR signaling, activated a STAT4-BLIMP1 pathway to induce effector differentiation, and IL-12 signaling was required for their cytotoxic function. Tcf7 deletion significantly reduced stem-like but not effector-like γδIELs, while Bcl6 deficiency increased effector-like γδIELs selectively. In contrast, the absence of Prdm1 not only abolished the development of effector-like γδIELs but also impaired the clearance of enterogenous pathogens. Taken together, these findings define two functionally distinct γδIEL subsets with a hierarchical regulatory program linking microbial signals and cytokine pathways to their cytotoxic function in the gut.

The Effector Differentiation of TCRαβ+CD8αα+ Intraepithelial Lymphocytes Is Reciprocally Regulated by BCL6 and BLIMP1

Project description:CD8αα+TCRαβ+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) play crucial roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and host protection. However, the functional regulation of these cells remains unclear. Here, we have discovered and characterized two distinct developmental stages within intestinal CD8αα+ αβ IELs: a stem-like, defined by BCL6, TCF1 and CD160 expression, and an effector-like, with Granzyme B expression and Prdm1 transcription, by sorting and transcriptional sequencing BCL6+CD160+ CD8αα+ αβ IELs and BCL6-CD160- CD8αα+ αβ IELs. Comparing transcriptional profiles of total CD8αα+ αβ IELs from BCL6-deficient, BLIMP1-deficient and TCF1-deficient mice compared with that from their WT littermate control mice, we found a critical antagonistic function between BCL6/TCF1 and BLIMP1 in governing the fate decisions of CD8αα+ αβ IEL subsets.

Bcl6 regulates CD8+ T cell fate decision in cancer [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Overcoming CD8+ T cell "exhaustion" is critical in cancer immunotherapy. Intra-tumor CD8+ T cells contain stem-like (Texprog) and terminally differentiated (Texterm) subpopulations that mediate the persistence and potency of anti-tumor responses, respectively. How extrinsic signals via transcription factors control these two subsets are unclear. Previously, Bcl6 was shown to be selectively expressed by Texprog cells and promote their generation in chronic infection. Here, we found that in cancer, Bcl6 deficiency impacted, not the generation, but rather the persistence of Texprog cells, thus abrogating long-term tumor control. Bcl6 expression in CD8+ T cells is reciprocally regulated by TGF-?-SMAD2 and IL-2-STAT5 signaling pathways. Blimp1, regulated by IL-2 signaling, potently inhibited Bcl6 expression and its transcriptional activities; Prdm1 deficiency greatly improved the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. Thus, we identified the TGF-?-Bcl6 and IL-2-Blimp1 antagonistic pathways in regulation of anti-tumor CD8+ T cells, which benefits cancer immunotherapy.

Early T-helper 1 Differentiation Is Marked by A Follicular Helper-like Transition: Differential Roles of STAT4 and T-bet

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells comprise an important subset of helper T cells; however, their relationship with other helper lineages is incompletely understood. Herein, we show IL-12 acting via signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) induced both Il21 and Bcl6 genes, generating cells with features of both Tfh and Th1 cells. However, STAT4 also induced T-bet. Using ChIP-seq, we defined the genome-wide targets of T-bet and found that it repressed Bcl6 and other markers of Tfh cells, thereby attenuating the nascent Tfh-like phenotype in the late phase of Th1 specification. Finally, Tfh-like T cells were rapidly generated following Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice, but T-bet constrained Tfh cells expansion and consequent germinal center formation and antibody production. Our data argue that Tfh and Th1 share a transitional stage through the signal mediated by STAT4, which promotes both phenotypes. However, T-bet represses Tfh functionalities, promoting full Th1 differentiation. The roles of STAT4 and T-bet to determine T helper cell fate were investigated by comparing DNA binding profiles of STAT4 and T-bet in Th1 conditions. The functional outcome was further evaluated by profiling DNase hypersensitivity sites and histone epigenetic marks between WT and STAT4-deficient or T-bet-deficient T cells in Th1 conditions.

Title: An IL-23-STAT4 Axis Regulates Classical Dendritic Cell Expansion and Function in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Project description:The signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) promotes protective immunity and autoimmunity downstream of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-12 and IL-23. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), Stat4-/- mice are resistant to the development of inflammation and paralysis. Here, we examined cell-type requirements and found that in addition to T cells, STAT4 is required in dendritic cells for development of EAE. Deficiency of STAT4 in CD11c-expressing cells resulted in decreased T cell priming and inflammation in the CNS. EAE susceptibility was recovered following adoptive transfer of wild type bone marrow-derived DC to mice with STAT4-deficient DCs, but not adoptive transfer of STAT4- or IL-23R-deficient DCs. Single cell RNA-seq identified STAT4-dependent genes in DC subsets that paralleled a signature in MS patient DCs. Together, these data define a novel IL-23/DC/STAT4 pathway in DCs that could be a key to novel therapeutic targets in MS.

STAT4 and T-bet control follicular helper T cells development in viral infections [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells promote germinal center (GC) B cell survival and proliferation, and guide their differentiation and Ig isotype switching by delivering contact-dependent and soluble factors, including IL-21, IL-4, IL-9, and IFN-g. IL-21 and IFN-g are co-expressed by Tfh cells during acute and chronic infections, but transcriptional regulation of these cytokines in the GC is incompletely understood. We show that the Th1 transcriptional regulators T-bet and STAT4 are co-expressed with Bcl6 in Tfh cells following acute murine lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, albeit with temporal decline in T-bet expression as the GC response evolved. T-bet was important for Tfh cell production of IFN-g, but not IL-21, and for the generation of a robust germinal center reaction. STAT4, phosphorylated in Tfh cells upon infection, was required for their expression of T-bet and Bcl6, and that of IFN-g and IL-21. These data indicate that T-bet is concomitantly expressed with Bcl6 in Tfh cells and is required alongside STAT4 phosphorylation to coordinate Tfh cell IL-21 and IFN-g production, and for promotion of the GC response following acute viral challenge.

Project description:To gain in depth transcriptional information about the two subsets of effector Tregs, we performed RNA-seq analysis to compare the transcriptomes of Thy1.1+Blimp1- (Ebi3-Tregs) and Thy1.1-Blimp1+ (Blimp1-Tregs) Tregs. We found ~173 unique genes with differential expression between the two effector subsets.
