Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional exhausted T cells, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD8+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted using MHC-I tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD8+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD4+ T cells differentiate into effector CD4+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD4+ T cells. Memory CD4+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD4+ T cells become less functional. To compare the development of functional memory T cells with poorly functional T cells from chronic viral infection, we generated longitudinal transcriptional profiles for each. Naive CD44Lo CD4+ T cells were isolated and sorted from uninfected C57BL/6 mice and H2-IAb GP66-specific CD4+ T cells were sorted using MHC-II tetramers at d6, 8, 15, and 30 p.i. with either LCMV Arm or LCMV clone 13. RNA from these CD4+ T cells was processed, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip MoGene 1.0 st microarrays.

Project description:In chronic infections and cancer, exhausted CD8 T cells exhibit heterogeneous subpopulations. TCF1+PD-1+ progenitor exhausted CD8 T cells (Tpex) can self-renew and give rise to Tim-3+PD-1+ terminally differentiated CD8 T cells that retain their effector functions. Tpex cells are thus essential to maintaining a pool of antigen-specific CD8 T cells during persistent antigenic stimulation, and only they respond to PD-1-targeted therapy. Despite their potential as a crucial therapeutic target for immune interventions, the mechanisms controlling the maintenance of virus-specific Tpex cells remain to be determined. We observed approximately 10-fold fewer Tpex cells in the spleens of mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) one-year post-infection (p.i.) than at three months p.i. Similar to memory CD8 T cells, Tpex cells have been found to undergo self-renewal in the lymphoid organs, prominently the bone marrow, during chronic LCMV infection. Furthermore, ex vivo treatment with IL-15 preferentially induced the proliferation of Tpex cells rather than the terminally differentiated subsets. Interestingly, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of LCMV-specific exhausted CD8 T cells after ex vivo IL-15 treatment compared with those before treatment revealed upregulation of ribosome-related genes and downregulation of genes associated with the TCR signaling pathway and apoptosis in both Tpex and Ttex subsets. The exogenous administration of IL-15 to chronically LCMV-infected mice also significantly increased self-renewal of Tpex cells in the spleen and bone marrow. In addition, we assessed the responsiveness of CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from renal cell carcinoma patients to IL-15. Similar to the data we obtained from chronic viral infection in mice, the expansion of the Tpex subset of PD-1+ CD8 TILs upon ex vivo IL-15 treatment was significantly higher than that of the terminally differentiated subset. These results show that IL-15 could promote self-renewal of Tpex cells, which has important therapeutic implications.

Project description:Antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells deficient in Blimp-1 (Prdm1) do not acquire maximal effector functions, evade terminal differentiation, and more rapidly acquire some hallmark properties of memory CD8+ T cells. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles of wildtype and Prdm1-/- LCMV-specific effector CD8+ T cells to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this striking phenotype. DNA microarray analysis was performed of DbGP33-41 and DbNP396-404 tetramer-positive effector CD8+ T cells FACS-sorted at day 8 post-LCMV infection from four independent samples of either Blimp-1 conditional knockout mice (CKO; Blimp-1flox/flox x GranzymeB-cre+) or wildtype (WT) littermate controls.

Project description:During infection, virus-specific CD8+ T cells undergo rapid bursts of proliferation and differentiate into effector cells that kill virus infected cells and reduce viral load. This rapid clonal expansion can put T cells at significant risk for replication-induced DNA damage. We found that c-Myc utilizes the E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cul4b, to inextricably link CD8+ T cell expansion to DNA damage response pathways. Following activation, c-Myc increased levels of Cul4b and other members of the CRL4 complex. Despite having abundant c-Myc expression, Cul4b-deficient CD8+ T cells were unable to expand and clear virus. Cul4b-deficient CD8+ T cells accrued DNA damage and succumbed to proliferative catastrophe early after antigen encounter. Mechanistically, Cul4b ablation induced a protracted accumulation of p21 and Cyclin E2 resulting in replication stress. Our data show that, to support cell proliferation, c-Myc must employ Cul4b to maintain genome stability, thereby directly coupling these two interdependent pathways. These data clarify how CD8+ T cells use c-Myc and Cul4b to sustain their potential for extraordinary population expansion, longevity and antiviral responses.

Project description:During acute viral infections, naïve CD8+ T cells differentiate into effector CD8+ T cells and, after viral control, into memory CD8+ T cells. Memory CD8+ T cells are highly functional, proliferate rapidly upon reinfection and persist long-term without antigen. In contrast, during chronic infections, CD8+ T cells become “exhausted” and have poor effector function, express multiple inhibitory receptors, possess low proliferative capacity, and cannot persist without antigen. Exhuasted CD8+ T cells can be further segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1. We performed transcriptional profiling on both PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells. H2-Db GP33-specific CD8+ T cells were sorted from C57BL/6 mice 30 days p.i. with LCMV clone 13. These cells were then segregated by their expression of the inhibitory cell surface receptor PD-1 into PD-1 High and PD-1 Intermediate subpopulations. We performed transcriptional profiling on these subpopulations.

Project description:Genome compartmentalization mediated by the cohesin complex plays an essential role in the maintenance of genome integrity and transcriptional regulation. Recurrent somatic mutations in multiple members of the cohesin complex are frequent genetic drivers in several types of cancer, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but the cellular consequences of cohesin mutations have not been determined and no therapies have been identified with selective efficacy in cohesin-mutant cancers. Using quantitative proteomics and genome-wide genetic screens in genetically engineered models of STAG2-mutant AML, we identify changes in cohesin complex composition and dependency on STAG1, DNA damage repair, master transcription factors, and RNA splicing machinery. Consistent with these findings, loss of STAG2 leads to DNA replication fork stalling and is associated with increased levels of dsDNA breaks and activation of DNA damage checkpoints, as well as aberrant splicing. Genetic or pharmacologic perturbation of DNA damage repair or splicing creates a synthetic vulnerability for cohesin-mutant cells in vitro and in vivo. Finally, STAG2 loss leads to a global reduction in cohesin binding to chromatin and expansion of super-enhancers, and mutant cohesin complexes spatially co-localize with super-enhancer enriched factors, DNA damage and splicing machinery. Our findings inform the biology of cohesins in cancer cells, and highlight novel therapeutic possibilities for cohesin-mutant malignancies.

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.

Project description:This lab investigates how protein-carbohydrate interactions affect cell fate in the immune system. The specific focus is on the mechanism of galectin-1 mediated death of T lymphocytes, and the role of galectin-1 in immune development, lymphocyte homeostasis, response to pathogens, autoimmunity and tumor cell evasion of the immune response. T cell memory, the ability of T cells to respond to recall antigens rapidly and effectively, is a critical component of the adaptive immune response and the essential target of vaccine development. After naive T cells are exposed to a new antigen (or pathogen), expansion of antigen-specific T cells creates an effector population; the majority of effector T cells die once the antigen or pathogen is cleared. A small subset of T cells remains after antigen is cleared, the memory T cells. These memory cells can respond more rapidly than naive cells to recall antigen, and are also capable of homeostatic self-renewal. During the development of T cell memory, there are dramatic changes in gene transcription, protein expression and post-translational modification of proteins, compared to naive and effector T cells. Our labs have described some of these changes at the phenotypic level, and have found important distinctions in the glycotypes of naive, effector and memory T cells. However, there has not been a systematic examination of differential glycosyltransferase expression among these T cell populations. Gene expression during the development of T-cell memory: After naive T cells are exposed to a new antigen (or pathogen), expansion of antigen-specific T cells creates an effector T cell population, the majority of which dies once antigen is cleared. A small subset, the memory T cells, remains after antigen is cleared. Using the LCMV system in P14 TCR transgenic mice specific for the DbGP33-41 epitope of LCMV, RNA (triplicate samples) was isolated from FACS-sorted virus-specific CD8+ T-cell populations during a time course following viral infection. The time points are day 0, day 8 (the peak of T-cell expansion following viral infection), day 15 (during the contraction or apoptotic phase), day 22 (during the transitional phase), and day 40 or later (the stable memory phase). The RNA samples were analyzed by Glyco-gene Chip analysis.

Project description:Histone post-translational modifications play pivotal roles in eukaryotic gene expression. To date, most studies have focused on modifications in unstructured histone N-terminal tail domains and their binding proteins. However, transcriptional regulation by chromatin-effector proteins that directly recognize modifications in histone globular domains has yet to be clearly demonstrated, despite the richness of their multiple modifications. Here, we show that the ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling BAF complex stimulates p53-dependent transcription through direct interaction with H3K56ac located on the lateral surface of the histone globular domain. Mechanistically, the BAF complex recognizes nucleosomal H3K56ac via the DPF domain in the DPF2 subunit and exhibits enhanced nucleosome-remodeling activity in the presence of H3K56ac. We further demonstrate that a defect in H3K56ac–BAF complex interaction leads to impaired p53-dependent gene expression and DNA damage responses. Our study provides direct evidence that histone globular domain modifications participate in the regulation of gene expression.
