T-cell derived exosomes released from Multi-Core Granules exhibit potent caspase 3 mediated tumor suppressive activity

ABSTRACT: Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are emerging as potential mediators of antitumor immunity, yet their subcellular origins and functional properties remain incompletely defined. In this study, we investigated the intracellular routes and cytotoxic potential of CTL-derived sEVs. Using correlative light and electron microscopy, we discovered that CTL-derived sEVs are exosomes, as they originate from both the classical multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and the recently identified multicore granules (MCGs). Applying total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we revealed that, in contrast to MVB-derived exosomes, MCG-derived exosomes are released at the immunological synapse in a stimulus-dependent manner. To enable functional characterization, we developed a scalable primary cell culture method for the isolation of high-purity exosomes. Super-resolution microscopy demonstrated significant heterogeneity in exosome size and tetraspanin composition. Notably, MCG-derived exosomes demonstrated five times higher cytotoxic activity than MVB-derived exosomes, inducing apoptosis in tumor cells via a caspase-3-dependent mechanism. These findings reveal that CTLs exploit distinct secretory pathways to release heterogeneous exosome populations with differential cytotoxic capacities, offering new insights into CTL-mediated immune responses and providing a basis for the development of novel exosome-based immunotherapies

Super-killer CTLs are generated by single gene deletion of Bach2

Project description:Bach2 codes for a transcriptional regulator exerting major influences on T cell mediated immune regulation. Effector CTLs derived from in vitro activation of murine CD8+ T cells showed increased proliferative and cytolytic capacity in the absence of BACH2. Before activation, BACH2-deficient CD8+ T cells had a higher abundance of memory and reduced abundance of naïve cells compared to wild-type. CTLs derived from central memory T cells were more potently cytotoxic than those derived from naïve T cells, but even within separated subsets, BACH2-deficiency conferred a cytotoxic advantage. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy revealed larger granules in BACH2-deficient compared to wild-type CTLs, and proteomic analysis showed an increase in granule content, including perforin and granzymes. Thus, the enhanced cytotoxicity observed in effector CTLs lacking BACH2 arises not only from differences in their initial differentiation state but also inherent production of enlarged cytolytic granules. These results demonstrate how a single gene deletion can produce a CTL super-killer.

Expression data from P14 TCR cytotoxic T cells overexpressing HDAC7 phosphorylation deficient mutant

Project description:The present study reports an unbiased analysis of the cytotoxic T cell serine-threonine phosphoproteome using high resolution mass spectrometry. Approximately 2,000 phosphorylations were identified in CTLs of which approximately 450 were controlled by TCR signaling. A significantly overrepresented group of molecules identified in the phosphoproteomic screen were transcription activators, co-repressors and chromatin regulators. A focus on the chromatin regulators revealed that CTLs have high expression of the histone deacetylase HDAC7 but continually phosphorylate and export this transcriptional repressor from the nucleus. HDAC7 dephosphorylation results in its nuclear accumulation and suppressed expression of genes encoding key cytokines, cytokine receptors and adhesion molecules that determine CTL function. The screening of the CTL phosphoproteome thus reveals intrinsic pathways of serine-threonine phosphorylation that target chromatin regulators in CTLs and determine the CTL functional program. We used Affymetrix microarray analysis to explore the molecular basis for the role of HDAC7 in CTLs and the impact of GFP-HDAC7 phosphorylation deficient mutant expression on the CTL transcriptional profile. In vitro generated P14 TCR cytotoxic T cells were retrovirally infected with a construct encoding GFP-HDAC7 phosphorylation deficient mutant, sorted in base of GFP expression (GFP positive and GFP negative) and processed for microarray analysis in three biological replicas.

IFN-γ Upregulates Survivin and Ifi202 Expression to Induce Survival and Proliferation of Tumor-Specific T Cells

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) comparing activation-induced gene expression profiles induced by tumor-specific antigen (Ag) and CD3 mAb. CTLs were stimulated with either Ag or CD3 mAb for 3 and 24 h, respectively. The stimulated CTLs were compared to un-stimulated CTLs. The objective was to identify differential gene expression profiles induced by the two activation (Ag vs CD3 mAb) conditions. Two-condition experiments, un-stimulated vs stimulated CTLs. Biological replicates: 3 replicates for each comparison. Unstimulated CTLs were compared to stimulated CTLs (Ag and CD3 mAb, respectively).

An interactive predictor to reassess the specific protein compositions of HIV-1 and extracellular vesicles

Project description:HIV-infected T cells secrete simultaneously viral particles and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) including MVB-derived exosomes and plasma membrane-derived EVs. sEVs and HIV share many physical and chemical characteristics, which makes their separation difficult.. Here, we used a global and un-biased proteomic approach to identify novel specific markers of the virus or sEV subtypes secreted by a human T lymphoma cell line.

The mRNA and lncRNA profiles of the T cells activated by breast tumor-specific DCs pulsed by MDA-MB-231 lysates at day 0, day 1 and day 6

Project description:Activation induced cell death (AICD) of T lymphocytes may be exploited by cancers to eliminate cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). Here, we demonstrated excessive apoptosis of tumor antigen-specific CTLs in breast and lung cancers. Interestingly, NKILA, an NF-κB interacting lncRNA, sensitizes CTLs to AICD by inhibiting NF-κB activities after their activation. In vivo, administering CTLs with NKILA silencing into immunocompromised mice with breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDXs) effectively inhibits PDX growth by increasing CTL infiltration. Clinically, NKILA was overexpressed in the tumor specific CTLs of breast and lung cancers, which was associated with less CTL infiltration in the tumors and shorter patient survival. Our findings present the first evidence that AICD in patient tumor-specific CTLs is crucial to cancer immune evasion, and targeting NKILA in CTLs emerges as a novel anti-tumor immunotherapy.

A microRNA-directed program of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell differentiation

Project description:Acquisition of effector properties is a key step in the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Here we show that inflammatory signals regulate Dicer expression in CTL, and that deletion or depletion of Dicer in mouse or human activated CD8+ T cells causes upregulation of perforin, granzyme and effector cytokines. Genome-wide analysis of miRNA changes induced by exposure of differentiating CTLs to IL-2 and inflammatory signals identifies miR-139 and miR-150 as components of a miRNA network that controls perforin, eomesodermin (Eomes) and IL-2Ra expression in differentiating CTLs and whose activity is modulated by IL-2, inflammation and antigenic stimulation. Overall our data show that strong IL-2R and inflammatory signals act through Dicer and miRNAs to control the cytolytic program and other aspects of effector CTL differentiation. Comparison of control and Dicer knock-out CTLs differentiated in vitro; Comparison of wild type CTLs differentiated in vitro with or without inflammatory stimuli; Comparison of effector and memory precursor CTLs isolated from mice infected with LCMV-Armstrong

The molecular basis of CD4 T-cell help for the cytotoxic T-cell response

Project description:CD4+ T cells optimize the cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response in magnitude and quality, by unknown molecular mechanisms. We here present the transcriptomic changes, resulting from CD4+ T-cell help during priming, as apparent in effector CTLs. This gene expression signature reveals that CD4+ T-cell help optimizes CTLs in the expression of cytotoxic effector molecules, but also in many other functions that ensure optimal efficacy of CTLs throughout their life cycle.

Phosphoproteomic analysis of CD2 signaling reveals an AMPK-dependent targeted granule secretion in human cytotoxic T cells

Project description:The in-depth analysis of co-stimulatory signaling enhancing the activity of cytotoxic T cells represents a major approach towards the development of immunotherapies. Here we describe that CD2 co-stimulation plays a critical role in the functioning of human cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). We found that CD2 promotes the formation of functional immune synapses by orchestrating the polarization of lytic granules towards the synaptic interface. To broadly explore the CD2 signaling network, we undertook an analysis of protein phosphorylation in CD2-stimulated CTLs, which revealed 549 unique CD2-regulated phosphorylation events in 373 proteins. CD2 stimulation elicited an intricated network of signaling events participating in the regulation of T cell metabolism, vesicular trafficking, autophagy, cell polarity and cytoskeleton organization. We further show that a functionally critical node of this network is the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which regulates granule polarization at the CTL synapse. Polarized trafficking of granules is driven by the concerted action of TAK1/LKB1/CamKK2 kinases, which locally activate AMPK enriched on CTL lysosome membranes, illustrating a novel functional cross-talk between vesicular compartments in CTLs. Our results thus establish CD2 signaling as key for regulating targeted granule secretion in CTLs and reveal an AMPK-dependent mechanism to explain how AMPK-activating drugs boost anti-tumour CTL activity.
