Heterogeneity and plasticity of the naive CD4+ T cell compartment

ABSTRACT: While naive CD4+ T cells have historically been considered a homogenous population, recent studies provide evidence that functional heterogeneity exists. Using scRNAseq, we identified five transcriptionally distinct naive CD4+ T cell subsets that emerge within the single positive stage in the thymus: a quiescence cluster (TQ), a memory-like cluster (TMEM), a TCR-reactive cluster (TTCR), an IFN-responsive cluster (TIFN), and an undifferentiated cluster (TUND). Elevated expression of transcription factors KLF2, Mx1, and Nur77 within the TQ, TIFN, and TTCR clusters, respectively, enabled enrichment of these subsets for functional validation. Sorted subsets displayed distinctive functional responses upon stimulation. Furthermore, treatment of mice with inflammatory stimuli reduced cytokine production of naive T cells ex vivo. In SLE patients, IFN-induced gene expression was markedly elevated within the TIFN cluster. Our data demonstrate that naive T cells are shaped by their host environment, with functional biases manifesting upon activation. These findings highlight the importance of understanding how naive T cell heterogeneity may be distorted in cancer, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases.

DNA Methylation Analysis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Project description:This study performed Illumina Methylation450 analysis of CD4+ T-cells, CD19+ B-cells and CD14+ Monocytes from lupus patients and controls. A validation cohort was further analyzed with the same platform using CD4+ T-cells, CD45RO-CD45RA+ naive T-cells, CD45RO+CD45RA- memory T-cells, and CD25+CD127- regulatory T-cells. SLE v Control comparisions were made within each cell type. The SLE patient samples are labeled SLEnnnn and the controls Xnnnn. The cell type CD4, CD14, CD19, Tmem, Treg, Tnaive is appended to each sample ID.

Tonic type I interferon signaling optimizes the antiviral function of plasmacytoid dendritic cells [CITE-seq]

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) mount powerful type I interferon (IFN-I) responses against viruses and virus-derived nucleic acids. Only a small fraction of pDCs produces high levels of IFN-I, yet neither the molecular basis nor the purpose of this functional heterogeneity are known. We report that naive murine pDCs comprise three transcriptionally (but not epigenetically) distinct subsets. This heterogeneity is generated by tonic IFN-I signaling elicited in part by the cGAS/STING and TLR9 pathways. A small "IFN-I-naive" subset (pDC-A) was expanded in STING deficiency or after transient IFN-I receptor blockade, but was abolished by exogenous IFN-I. pDC-A showed strong cytokine responses yet were susceptible to infection with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Conversely, the majority of pDCs comprised the "IFN-I-primed" subsets (pDC-B/C) that showed lower IFN-I responses but were resistant to VSV. Thus, tonic IFN-I signaling decreases the cytokine-producing capacity of pDCs but increases their virus resistance, achieving the optimal functional balance for antiviral responses.

CD5 levels define functionally heterogeneous populations of naïve human CD4+ T cells

Project description:Studies from mouse models show that differences in self-reactivity, as read-out by CD5 levels, identifies naïve T cell subsets with distinct functional properties during an immune response. Whether CD5 levels can also be used to parse functional biases in naive human CD4+ T cells is incompletely understood. Our study establishes CD5 as a reliable marker of T cell self-reactivity and functional heterogeneity in human CD4+ T cells.

Characterization with age of resident T cells within secondary lymphoid organs in the steady state

Project description:Using two different experimental approaches, we here highlight the long-term residence of a substantial proportion of CD4 Treg and CD4 Tmem cells within the secondary lymphoid organs of specific pathogen-free mice. Microbiota plays an important role in T-cell residence in Peyer’s patches, but only a minor one, if any, in lymph nodes. Lymph node-resident CD4 Treg and CD4 Tmem cells share many phenotypic and functional characteristics, including a core transcriptional profile, with their cell-counterparts from non-lymphoid tissues. In particular, S1PR1 down-regulation may represent the main mechanism accounting for T-cell residency within secondary lymphoid organs. Strikingly, T-cell residence increases with age, to the point that the majority of CD4 Treg and Tmem cells from lymph nodes are in fact, resident T cells in old mice. Altogether, our results show that T-cell residence is not only a hallmark of non-lymphoid tissues, but can be extended to secondary lymphoid organs.

Epigenetic profiling of human CD4+ memory T cells reveals their proliferative history and argues in favor of a progressive differentiation model driven by epigenetically controlled master regulators.

Project description:A key element of adaptive immunity is the development of long-lived memory cells, which protect against recurring infection by providing a highly enriched pool of antigen-specific cells ready to react to the pathogen. Different classes of memory T cells occur upon primary activation of naive T cells, however, their detailed differentiation pathway is not entirely clear. As part of the IHEC consortium, we generated genome-wide epigenetic maps of a number of CD4+ T cell memory (Tmem) stages including rare subsets such as terminally differentiated (TEMRA) and bone marrow-resident Tmem. We found that CD4+ T cells show progressive global DNA demethylation with differentiation into memory stages, which reflects their proliferative history and likely indicates their decline in differentiation and proliferation potential. Furthermore, transcriptomic profiling combined with co-regulation network analyses arranged different Tmem subsets into a successive differentiation pathway. In addition, we identified a number of epigenetically controlled candidate master regulators for Tmem formation, of which we functionally validated a new methylation-sensitive promoter for the known 'naive-keeper' transcription factor Foxp1. Our study highlights the power of epigenomic datasets in the elucidation of the cellular history but also of the functional potential of T cell populations including the identification of epigenetically controlled master regulators.
