Memory CD4 T cells help adaptive immunity with minimal immunopathology

ABSTRACT: CD4 T cells play critical roles in promoting inflammation and helping immune responses, but knowledge of how memory CD4 T cells are regulated and how they help adaptive immune responses is limited. Using adoptive transfer of virus-specific CD4 T cells, we show that naïve CD4 T cells undergo substantial expansion following viral infection, but can induce lethal TH1-driven inflammation. In contrast, memory CD4 T cells exhibit a biased proliferation of T follicular helper (Tfh) cell subsets that correlate with improved adaptive responses and minimal tissue damage following viral infection. Importantly, our analyses revealed that type I interferon regulates the expansion of naïve CD4 T cells, but does not seem to play a critical role in regulating the expansion of memory CD4 T cells. Moreover, blockade of type I interferon signaling abrogated lethal CD4 T cell inflammation following viral infection. Taken together, these data demonstrate a previously undescribed function for memory CD4 T cells: to help adaptive immunity with minimal harm to the host. These findings are important for rational vaccine design and for improving the safety and efficacy of adoptive T cell therapies against persistent antigens. Primary and memory SMARTA cells were MACS-purified by negative selection (STEMCELL) and then FACS-sorted to 98% purity on a FACS Aria (BD Biosciences) according to congenic marker expression (CD45.1+ for secondary, and CD45.1+ CD45.2+ for primary, CD4 T cell responses).

Tet2 deletion in CD4+ T cells disrupts Th1 lineage commitment in memory cells and enhances T follicular helper cell recall responses

Project description:Following viral clearance, antigen-specific CD4+ T cells contract and form a pool of distinct Th1 and Tfh memory cells that possess unique epigenetic programs, allowing them to rapidly recall their specific effector functions upon rechallenge. DNA methylation programing mediated by the methylcytosine dioxygenase Tet2 contributes to balancing Th1 and Tfh cell differentiation during acute viral infection, however the role of Tet2 in CD4+ T cell memory formation and recall is unclear. Using adoptive transfer models of antigen-specific WT andTet2KO CD4+ T cells, we find that Tet2 is required for full commitment of CD4+ T cells to the Th1 lineage and that in the absence of Tet2, memory cells preferentially recall a Tfh like phenotype with enhanced expansion upon secondary challenge. These findings demonstrate an important role for Tet2 in enforcing lineage commitment and programing proliferation potential, and highlight the potential of targeting epigenetic programing to enhance adaptive immune responses.

Adenovirus Serotype 5 Vectors Trigger IL-27-Dependent Inhibitory CD4+ T Cell Responses

Project description:Viral vectors are attractive vaccine platforms that elicit robust innate and adaptive immune responses; however, viral vector vaccine candidates vary greatly in their ability to induce protective immunity. Ad5 vectors elicit robust CD8+ T cell responses but typically characterized by an exhausted phenotype. The mechanisms by which Ad5 vectors induce dysfunctional CD8+ T cells have not been fully elucidated. Here we demonstrate that Ad5 vectors, but not Ad26 vectors, elicit exhausted antigen-specific IL-10+PD1+ CD4+ T cells with a dysfunctional transcriptional profile, and these cells effectively suppress CD8+ T cells responses in vivo. Induction of inhibitory CD4+ T cells by Ad5 vectors was associated with increased IL-27 expression, and IL-27 blockade improved CD4+ T cell polyfunctionality. Together our data highlight a novel role for IL-27 in regulating responses to viral vector vaccines. Splenic CD45.2+ OT-II TCR-Tg CD4 T cells from CD45.1+ B6 mice immunized with Ad5-OVA or Ad26-OVA were purified by FACS on day 10 post-immunization

Trancriptional comparison of Zbtb32-deficient and -sufficient NP-specific memory B cells at day 7 of recall response [memory B cells]

Project description:Memory B cell responses are more rapid and of greater magnitude than are primary antibody responses. The mechanisms by which these secondary responses are eventually attenuated remain unknown. We demonstrate that the transcription factor ZBTB32 limits the rapidity and duration of antibody recall responses. ZBTB32 is highly expressed by mouse and human memory B cells, but not by their naÃ¯ve counterparts. Zbtb32-/- mice mount normal primary antibody responses to T-dependent antigens. However, Zbtb32-/- memory B cell-mediated recall responses occur more rapidly and persist longer than do control responses. Microarray analyses demonstrate that Zbtb32-/- secondary bone marrow plasma cells display elevated expression of genes that promote cell cycle progression and mitochondrial function relative to wild-type controls. BrdU labeling and adoptive transfer experiments confirm more rapid production and a cell-intrinsic survival advantage of Zbtb32-/- secondary plasma cells relative to wild-type counterparts. ZBTB32 is therefore a novel negative regulator of antibody recall responses. CD45.2 wild type and Zbtb32-/- splenocytes from NP-CGG-immune donors were transferred into CD45.1 recipients and challenged with NP-CGG. CD45.2 donor NP-specific memory B cells were isolated from the spleen 7 days later. 5-6 biological replicates of each genotype were performed.

Expression data from virus-specific mouse Th1 and Tfh CD4 T cell subsets after LCMV infection

Project description:CD4 T follicular helper (Tfh) cells provide the required signals to B cells for germinal center reactions that are necessary for longlived antibody responses. However, it remains unclear whether there are CD4+ memory T cells committed to the Tfh lineage after antigen clearance. Using adoptive transfer of antigen-specific memory CD4+ subpopulations (based on CXCR5 and Ly6c expression)in the LCMV infection model, we found that there are distinct memory CD4+ T cell populations with commitment to the Tfh and Th1 lineages. Our conclusions are based on gene expression profiles, epigenetic studies and phenotypic and functional analysis. The gene expression profiles of virus-specific CD4 T cell subets at effector and memory stages is presented here. The SMARTA TCR transgenic / adptive transfer system was used to identify and sort subsets of antigen-specific CD4 T cells (based on their expression of Ly6c and CXCR5) elicited after acute infection with LCMV (Arm).

Control of nutrient uptake by IRF4 orchestrates innate immune memory - ChIP-seq

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphocytes with adaptive immune features, including antigen-specificity, clonal expansion, and memory. As such, NK cells share many transcriptional and epigenetic programs with their adaptive CD8+ T cell siblings. Various signals ranging from antigen, co-stimulation, and proinflammatory cytokines are required for optimal NK cell responses in mice and humans during virus infection; however, the integration of these signals remains unclear. In this study, we identified the transcription factor IRF4 as a signal integrator to coordinate the NK cell response during viral infection. Loss of IRF4 was detrimental to the expansion and differentiation of virus-specific NK cells. This defect was partially attributed to the inability of IRF4-deficient NK cells to uptake nutrients required for survival and memory generation. Altogether, these data suggest IRF4 is a signal integrator that acts as a secondary metabolic checkpoint to orchestrate the adaptive response of NK cells during viral infection.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin limits primary and recall CD8+ T cell anti-viral responses

Project description:Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine that acts directly on CD4+ T cells and dendritic cells to promote progression of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic inflammation. However, a direct role for TSLP in CD8+ T-cell primary responses remains controversial and its role in memory CD8+ T-cell responses to secondary viral infection is unknown. Here, we investigate the role of TSLP in both primary and recall responses using two different viral systems. Interestingly, TSLP limited the primary CD8+ T cell response to influenza but did not affect T cell function nor significantly alter the number of memory CD8+ T cells generated after influenza infection. However, TSLP inhibited memory CD8+ T cell responses to secondary viral infection with influenza or acute systemic LCMV infection. These data reveal a previously unappreciated role for TSLP on recall CD8+ T cell responses in response to viral infection, findings with potential translational implications.

Expression data from WT and Foxo1 KO CD8+ KLRG1high or KLRG1low populations after LCMV infection

Project description:The forkhead O transcription factors (FOXO) integrate a range of extracellular signals including growth factor signaling, inflammation, oxidative stress and nutrient availability, to substantially alter the program of gene expression and modulate cell survival, cell cycle progression, and many cell-type specific responses yet to be unraveled. Naive antigen-specific CD8+ T cells undergo a rapid expansion and arming of effector function within days of pathogen exposure, but in addition, by the peak of expansion, they form precursors to memory T cells capable of self-renewal and indefinite survival. We used microarrays to determine whether FOXO1 broadly affects effector and memory differentiation, and to what extent FOXO1 determines the program of memory T cell gene expression. To obtain an unbiased analysis of genes differentially expressed in antigen-specific Foxo1-/- CD8+ T cells responding to infection, we obtained RNA and performed Affymetrix microarray analysis from KLRG1low and KLRG1high FACS-sorted congenically-marked WT and Foxo1-/- P14 cells obtained from mixed transfers, eight days post-infection with LCMV-Armstrong. We carried out gene deletion in Rosa26Cre-ERT2 Foxo1f/f (Foxo1-/-) P14 mice just prior to adoptive transfer (Kerdiles et al., 2009), and transfer equal numbers of P14 cells from the spleens of KO (Foxo1-/- P14) and WT P14 mice.

CD103hi lung-resident regulatory T cells constrain the fibrotic responses induced by CD103low tissue-resident pathogenic CD4 T cells

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are crucial mediators of adaptive immunity in non-lymphoid tissues. However, the functional heterogeneity and pathogenic roles of CD4+ TRM cells that reside within chronic inflammatory lesions remain unknown. We found that CD69hiCD103low CD4+ TRM cells produced effector cytokines and promoted the inflammation and fibrotic responses induced by chronic exposure to Aspergillus fumigatus. Simultaneously, immunosuppressive CD69hiCD103hiFoxp3+ CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells were induced and constrained the ability of pathogenic CD103low TRM cells to cause fibrosis. Thus, lung tissue-resident CD4+ T cells play crucial roles in the pathology of chronic lung inflammation, and CD103 expression defines pathogenic effector and immunosuppressive tissue-resident cell subpopulations in the inflamed lung.
