Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and Bcl6-/- helper T cell Transcriptomes

ABSTRACT: Virus infection induces T follicular helper (TFH) and T helper 1 (TH1) cells. Although TFH cells are important in anti-viral humoral immunity, the role of TH 1 cells is still elusive. IgG2 antibodies predominate in the response to vaccination with inactivated Influenza A virus (IAV) and were responsible for protective immunity to lethal challenge with pathogenic H5N1 and pandemic H1N1 IAVs even in mice lacking TFH cells owing to B or T cell-specific ablation of the Bcl6. We demonstrate that IL-21 and IFN-γ secreted from TH1 cells were essential for greater persistence and higher titers of IgG2 protective antibodies. These results suggest that TH1 induction could be a promising strategy to induce effective neutralizing antibodies against emerging influenza viruses.

ZIKV infection induces robust Th1-like Tfh cell and long-term protective antibody responses in immunocompetent mice

Project description:Induction of long-lived antibody responses during infection or vaccination is often essential for subsequent protection, but the relative contributions of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and T helper 1 (Th1) cells for induction of antigen specific antibody responses to viruses are unclear. Here, we establish an acute Zika virus (ZIKV) infection model in immunocompetent mice, and show that ZIKV infection elicits robust Th1-like Tfh cell and protective antibody responses. While these Th1-like Tfh cells share phenotypic and transcriptomic profiles with both Tfh and Th1 cells, they also have unique surface markers and gene expression characteristics, and are dependent on T-bet for their development. Th1-like Tfh cells, but not Th1 cells, are essential for class switching of ZIKV-specific IgG2c antibodies and maintenance of long-term neutralizing antibody responses. Our study suggests that specific modulation of the Th1-like Tfh cell response during infection or vaccination may augment the induction of antiviral antibody response to ZIKV and other viruses.

Characterization of lung tissue-resident helper T cells

Project description:To identify the characters of tissue resident CD4 T cells following influenza virus infection, we sorted lung CD45iv-CD4+CD44hi T cells from influenza PR8 infected mice (28 d.p.i.). Then the cells were performed single cell RNA sequencing. At the result, we found clera 5 differnt clusters and each cluster represent different helper T cell types including TH1, TH17 and Treg. One cluster exhibited both tissue residency and TFH cell features. So, we identify the characters of this hybrid lung CD4 T cells.

The lipid Gb3 promotes germinal center B cell responses and anti-viral immunity

Project description:Influenza viruses escape immunity due to rapid antigenic evolution, which requires vaccination strategies that allow for broadly protective antibody responses. Here, we demonstrate that the lipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) expressed on germinal center (GC) B cells is essential for the production of high-affinity antibodies. Mechanistically, Gb3 binds and disengages CD19 from its chaperone CD81 for subsequent translocation to the B cell receptor (BCR) complex to trigger signaling. Moreover, this lipid regulates MHC-II expression to increase diversity of T follicular helper (Tfh) and GC B cells reactive with subdominant epitopes. In influenza infection, Gb3 promotes broadly reactive antibody responses and cross-protection. Thus, we show that Gb3 determines affinity as well as breadth in B cell immunity and propose this lipid as potential vaccine adjuvant against viral infection.

Transcriptional analysis of human tonsil Tfh cells

Project description:Follicular helper CD4 T (Tfh) cells provide B cells with signals that are important for the generation of high-affinity Abs and immunological memory and, therefore, are critical for the protective immunity elicited by most human vaccines. In this study we sought to define the gene expression signature of bona fide GC Tfh and Tfh cells. The CD4+ T cell subsets CD45RO+CXCR5-, CD45RO+CXCR5int (Tfh cells), and CD45RO+CXCR5hi (GC Tfh cells) were isolated from 6 tonsil samples for gene expression analysis.

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.

Global gene expression profile of GC-Tfh cells derived from Peyer's patches at steady state, as well as dLNs from KLH-immunized, influenza-infected, SEA-immunized, ESS-induced mice and of FNg+ Tfh and IFNg-Tfh cells derived from influenza infection

Project description:Tfh cells are critical in providing help for B cells in the germinal center reaction. However, with regards to the isotypes of antibodies produced by B cells in responses to distinct pathogens, it is unclear whether and how Tfh cells determine differential antibody isotype responses. Through transcriptional profiling of GC-Tfh cells derived from various types of immune responses, we identified culsters of differentially expressed genes corresponding to Th1, Th2 or Th17 cells. Of special interest, a subset of Tfh cells producing IFNg were generated in an influenza virus infection. In order to understand the transcriptional and functional differences, we performed RNA-sequencing to compare the transcriptional profiles of IFNg+ and IFNg- Tfh cells.

Whole-transcriptome quantitative analysis of WT versus Ikzf3-/- CD4+ T cells cultured in Th1-polarizing or Tfh-polarizing conditions

Project description:Effective immunity to viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 requires the generation of CD4+ T cell subsets that coordinate complementary aspects of the immune response. These include T follicular helper (TFH) and T helper 1 (TH1) cells, which promote humoral and cell-mediated helper responses, respectively. A third population, CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4-CTLs) facilitates clearance of infection via mechanisms normally associated with CD8+ T cells, including perforin-mediated destruction of infected cells. Here, we identify the transcription factor Aiolos as a reciprocal regulator of TFH and CD4-CTL responses. We demonstrate that Aiolos deficiency compromises TFH differentiation and antibody production during influenza infection. Conversely, we find that CD4+ T cells acquire a cytotoxic-like program in the absence of Aiolos, including increased expression of the CTL-associated transcription factors Eomes and Blimp-1. We further show that while Aiolos positively regulates the TFH transcriptional regulators Zfp831, Tcf-1 and Bcl-6, it also directly represses expression of IL-2Ra and IL-2/STAT5-driven expression of the cytotoxic gene program. Thus, our findings identify Aiolos as a pivotal regulator of TFH and CD4-CTL differentiation and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for the manipulation of CD4+ T cell humoral and cytotoxic responses.

RNA Seq of TFH cells in Th1 vaccine regimen

Project description:Generating durable humoral immunity through vaccination depends upon effective interaction of follicular helper T cells (Tfh) with germinal center (GC) B cells. Th1 polarization of Tfh cells is an important process shaping the success of Tfh-GC B cell interactions by influencing co-stimulatory and cytokine-dependent Tfh help to B cells. However, the question remains whether adjuvant-dependent modulation of Tfh cells enhances HIV-1 vaccine-induced anti-Envelope (Env) antibody responses. We investigated whether an HIV-1 vaccine platform designed to increase the number of Th1-polarized Tfh cells enhances the magnitude and quality of anti-Env antibodies. Utilizing a novel interferon-induced protein (IP)-10-adjuvanted HIV-1 DNA prime, followed by an MPLA+QS-21-adjuvanted Env protein boost in macaques (DIP-10 PALFQ), we observed higher anti-Env serum IgG titers with greater cross-clade reactivity, specificity to V1V2, and effector functions when compared to macaques primed with DNA lacking IP-10 and boosted with MPLA+alum-adjuvanted Env protein (DPALFA) The DIP-10 PALFQ vaccine regimen elicited higher anti-Env IgG1 and lower IgG4 antibodies in serum, showing for the first time that adjuvants can dramatically impact the IgG subclass profile in macaques. The DIP-10 PALFQ regimen also increased vaginal and rectal IgA antibodies to a greater extent. Within lymph nodes, we observed augmented GC B cell responses and promotion of Th1 gene expression profiles in GC Tfh cells. The frequency of GC Tfh cells correlated with both the magnitude and avidity of anti-Env serum IgG. Together, these data suggest that adjuvant-induced stimulation of Th1-Tfh cells is an effective strategy for enhancing the magnitude and quality of anti-Env antibody response.

Functional and epigenetic studies reveal multistep differentiation and plasticity of in vitro and in vivo follicular T helper cells

Project description:Follicular T helper cells (Tfh) provide critical help to B cells for germinal center (GC) formation. Mutations affecting SLAM-associated Protein (SAP) prevent GC formation due to defective T-B cell interactions, yet effects on Tfh cell differentiation remain unclear. We describe the in vitro differentiation of functionally-competent “Tfh-like” cells that expressed Interleukin-21, Tfh markers, and Bcl6, and rescued GC formation in SAP-deficient hosts better than other T helper (Th) cells. SAP-deficient Tfh-like cells appeared virtually indistinguishable from wildtype, yet failed to support GCs in vivo. Interestingly, both Tfh-like and in vivo-derived Tfh cells could produce effector cytokines in response to polarizing conditions. Moreover, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells could be reprogrammed to obtain Tfh characteristics. ChIP-Seq analyses revealed positive epigenetic markings on Tbx21, Gata3 and Rorc in Tfh-like and ex vivo Tfh cells, and Bcl6 in other Th cell populations, supporting the concept of plasticity between Tfh and other Th cells. Epigenetic modifications were evaluated in ChIP-Seq studies by profiling histone H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylation marks between Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh-like, and CXCR5+PD-1+ sorted Tfh-like in vitro generated T helper cell populations and ex vivo derived Tfh cells.
