Project description:CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4-CTLs) have been reported to play a protective role in several viral infections. However, little is known in humans about the biology of CD4-CTL generation, their functional properties, heterogeneity and clonal diversity, especially in relation to other well-described CD4+ memory T cell subsets. We performed single-cell RNA-seq in over 9000 cells to unravel CD4-CTL heterogeneity, transcriptional profile and clonality in humans. The single-cell differential gene expression analysis, revealed a spectrum of known transcripts, including several linked to cytotoxic and co-stimulatory function, and transcripts of unknown cytotoxicity-related function that are expressed at higher levels in the TEMRA subset, which is highly enriched for CD4-CTLs, compared to cells in the central and effector memory subsets (TCM, TEM). Simultaneous T cells antigen receptor (TCR) analysis in single-cells and bulk subsets revealed that CD4-TEMRA cells show marked clonal expansion compared to TCM and TEM cells and that the majority of CD4-TEMRA were dengue virus (DENV)-specific in subjects with previous DENV infection. The profile of CD4-TEMRA was highly heterogeneous across subjects, with four distinct clusters identified by the single-cell analysis. Most importantly, we identified distinct clusters of CD4-CTL effector and precursor cells in the TEMRA subset; the precursor cells shared TCR clonotypes with CD4-CTL effectors and were distinguished by high expression of the interleukin-7 receptor. Our identification of a CD4-CTL precursor population may allow further investigation of how CD4-CTLs arise in humans and thus could provide insights into the mechanisms that may be utilized to generate durable and effective CD4-CTL immunity.

Project description:We show here that the T helper-fate is not fixed and that mature antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells can switch off Thpok expression and reactivate CD8- lineage genes. This unexpected plasticity results in the post-thymic termination of the T helper- program and the functional differentiation of distinct MHC class II restricted CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes Small intestine CD4 intraepithelial T lymphocytes from ThPOK-GFP reposter mice were isolated and sorted (FACS Aria) based on ThPOK and CD8aa expression. Cell were isolated either from non-experimental ThPOK-GFP reporter mice (WT) or after transfering CD4 naive T cells from ThPOK-GFP reporter mice to RAG-/-recipient animals (TR) as an experimental colitis model. Experimet was done in duplicate.

Project description:We investigated transcriptional changes in CD4CD8aa and CD4 intraepthelial lymphocytes. TCRαβ thymocytes differentiate to either CD8αβ cytotoxic T lymphocytes or CD4 T helper cells. This functional dichotomy is controlled by key transcription factors, including the T helper master regulator, ThPOK, which suppresses the cytolytic-program in MHC class II restricted CD4 thymocytes. ThPOK continues to repress CD8-lineage genes in mature CD4 T cells, even as they differentiate to T helper effector subsets. Surprisingly, we show here that the T helper-fate is not fixed and that mature antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells can switch off Thpok expression and reactivate CD8-lineage genes. This unexpected plasticity results in the post-thymic termination of the T helper program and the functional differentiation of distinct MHC class II restricted CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Intraepithelial_CD4_CD8a neg vs CD8a pos. Two sample set of CD4CD8aa and CD4 intraepthelial lymphocytes (IEL) from small intestine of RAG knockout mice ( 8 weeks after transfer of naive CD4 cells, adoptive tranfer model of colitis), were prepared via cell sorting, and RNA was prepared by TRIZol (Invitrogen, USA) . Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX10. For microarray analysis, RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays according to the Affymetrix protocols. Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX10.
