Single-cell RNA analysis of allele-specific MHC expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of Mauritian-origin cynomologus and Indian-origin rhesus macaques

ABSTRACT: We have employed a single-cell sequencing approach using 10X Genomics 5'scRNAseq to study expression of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from Mauritian-origin cynomolgus and Indian-origin rhesus macaques. The MHC region has undergone a complex series of duplications in macaques relative to humans. Steady-state RNA levels of macaque MHC class I and class II transcripts vary over several orders of magnitude in whole blood and bulk PBMC. This study represents the first 5'scRNAseq analysis to quantify allele-specific levels of MHC transcripts in various PMBC subsets of macaques and provides insights into how they may shape immune responses.

Single-cell RNA analysis of allele-specific MHC expression in macaque PBMC after T cell activation or treatment with pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory cytokines

Project description:We have employed a single-cell sequencing approach using 10X Genomics 5'scRNAseq to study expression of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from Mauritian-origin cynomolgus and Indian-origin rhesus macaques. The MHC region has undergone a complex series of duplications in macaques relative to humans. Steady-state RNA levels of macaque MHC class I and class II transcripts vary over several orders of magnitude in whole blood and bulk PBMC. In this study, we compared transcript levels in untreated control PBMC with transcript levels after T cell activation, treatment with pro-inflammatory cytokines, or treatment with anti-inflammatory cytokines. Transcript levels for several minor MHC alleles were preferentially induced in monocytes and dendritic cells after treatment with pro-inflammatory cytokines or T cell activation.

Spatial Transcriptomics of MHC Expression in Mauritian Cynomolgus Macaque Tissues

Project description:A spatial transcriptomics method was developed with the 10X Genomics Visium HD platform and a custom probe panel to study expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes in tissues from Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques. Previous scRNA sequencing studies with these macaque demonstrated a wide range of allele-specific MHC transcript levels in multiple peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets. The restricted genetic diversity of the Mauritian macaque population made it possible to design a manageable number of custom MHC probes for this pilot study . Tissues examined included kidney, liver, lung and heart that of particular interest for transplant research. The Visium Human Transcriptome Kit v2 performed well with at least 40 different kidney cell types identified based on cell clustering with gene expression definitions in a human kidney cell atlas. In addition, higher overall transcript levels were observed for several major MHC class I alleles compared to minor alleles that tend to be expressed at low levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Immunomodulatory potential of in vivo Natural Killer T (NKT) activation by NKTT320 in Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques

Project description:Invariant natural killer T-lymphocytes (iNKT) are unique immunomodulatory innate T-cells with an invariant TCR recognizing glycolipids presented on MHC class-I-like CD1d molecules. Activated iNKT rapidly secrete pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, potentiate immunity, and modulate inflammation. Here, we report the effects of in vivo iNKT activation in Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques by a humanized monoclonal antibody, NKTT320, that binds to the invariant region of the iNKT TCR. NKTT320 led to rapid iNKT activation, increased polyfunctionality, and elevation of multiple plasma analytes within 24 hours of administration. Flow cytometry and RNA-Seq confirmed downstream activation of multiple immune subsets, enrichment of JAK/STAT and PI3K/AKT pathway genes, and upregulation of inflammation-modulating genes. NKTT320 also increased iNKT frequency in adipose tissue without iNKT anergy. Our data indicate that NKTT320 has a sustained effect on in vivo iNKT activation, potentiation of innate and adaptive immunity, and resolution of inflammation, which supports its future use as an immunotherapeutic.

CD8+ cells and small viral reservoirs facilitate post-ART SIV control in MHC-M3+ Mauritian cynomolgus macaques

Project description:Sustainable HIV remission after antiretroviral therapy (ART) withdrawal, or post-treatment control (PTC), remains a top priority in the HIV field. We observed surprising PTC in an MHC-haplomatched cohort of SIVmac239+ Mauritian cynomolgus macaques (MCMs) initiated on ART at two weeks post-infection (wpi). For six months after ART withdrawal, we observed undetectable or transient viremia in seven of eight MCMs. In vivo CD8α depletion induced rebound in all animals, indicating the PTC was mediated by CD8α+ cells. We found that MCMs had a smaller acute viral reservoir than a cohort of identically infected rhesus macaques, a population that rarely develops PTC. The mechanisms by which unusually small viral reservoirs and CD8α+ cell-mediated virus suppression enable PTC can be investigated using this model of PTC in MHC-haplomatched MCMs. If the immunological mechanisms that can engender PTC are defined, this model could designate therapeutic targets for HIV remission strategies in humans.

A cytoplasmic tail motif directs HLA-E to clathrin-mediated endocytosis and valosin-containing-protein-mediated recycling

Project description:Recent discoveries highlight the effectiveness of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-E-restricted CD8+ T cell responses in controlling certain infections, particularly in a rhesus cytomegalovirus (RhCMV68-1)-vectored simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vaccine. In this context, these responses are preferentially elicited and are crucial for enabling vaccinated rhesus macaques to eradicate an SIV challenge. To harness human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E-restricted CD8+ T cell responses for therapeutic purposes, it is essential to understand how these responses are primed, especially the mechanisms regulating MHC-E trafficking within endosomal pathways. Here, we identified a novel lysine/tryptophan-based motif in the HLA-E cytoplasmic tail that promotes rapid surface turnover via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. This motif, combined with strong binding peptides, also facilitates HLA-E recycling through a distinct valosin-containing protein-dependent pathway. Additionally, we show that this motif and its associated endosomal transport mechanisms are conserved in rhesus macaques and Mauritian-origin cynomolgus macaques. These findings advance our understanding of how MHC-E regulates immune functions through unconventional transport processes and offer insights for stimulating HLA-E-restricted CD8+ T cell responses in immunotherapy development.
