Project description:KLRG1+ CD8 T cells persist for months after clearance of acute infections and maintain high levels of effector molecules, contributing protective immunity against systemic pathogens. Upon secondary infection, these long-lived effector cells (LLECs) are incapable of forming other circulating KLRG1− memory subsets such as central and effector memory T cells. Thus, KLRG1+ memory T cells are frequently referred to as a terminally differentiated population that is relatively short lived. Here, we show that following viral infection of mice, effector cells derived from LLEC rapidly enter nonlymphoid tissues and reduce pathogen burden, but are largely dependent on receiving antigen cues from vascular endothelial cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that secondary memory cells in nonlymphoid tissues arising from either KLRG1+ or KLRG1− memory precursors developed a similar transcriptional signature. Thus, although LLEC cannot differentiate into other circulating memory populations, they still retain the flexibility to enter tissues and establish residency.

Project description:The goal of this study is to characterize the transcriptional profile of three memory CD8 T cell subsets: IL-7Rα+KLRG1- (memory precursors, MP), IL-7Rα+KLRG1+ (KLRG1+ MP) and IL-7Rα-KLRG1+ (terminal effectors, TE).

Project description:CD8 effector T cells with a CD127hi KLRG1- phenotype are considered precursors to the long-lived memory pool, while KLRG1+ CD127low cells are viewed as short-lived effectors. Nevertheless, we and others have shown that a KLRG1+ CD127low population persists into the memory phase and that these T cells (termed long-lived effector cells or LLEC) display robust protective function during acute re-challenge with bacteria or viruses. Whether these T cells represent a true memory population or are instead a remnant effector cell population that failed to undergo initial contraction has remained unclear. Here, we show that LLEC from mice express a distinct phenotypic and transcriptional signature that shares characteristics of both early effectors and long-lived memory cells. Furthermore, we find that LLEC are exclusively derived from day 12 KLRG1+ effector cells. Our work challenges the concept that the KLRG1+ CD127low population is dominated by short-lived cells and shows that KLRG1 downregulation is not a prerequisite to become a long-lived protective memory T cell.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC-2s) regulate immune responses to pathogens, allergens, tissue remodeling and metabolic homeostasis in response to cytokines. Positive regulation of ILC-2s through ICOS has been recently elucidated but co-receptor mediated negative regulatory axis is yet to be defined. We demonstrate that PD-1 is an important negative regulator of KLRG1+ILC-2 function in both mice and humans. Increase in KLRG1+ ILC-2 cells numbers were attributed to an intrinsic defect in PD-1 signaling, which resulted in enhanced STAT5 activation. During Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection, a significant expansion of KLRG1+ ILC-2 subsets occurred in pdcd1-/- mice and on adoptive transfer, pdcd1-/- KLRG1+ ILC-2s significantly reduced worm burden. Furthermore, blocking antibody to PD-1 increased KLRG1+ ILC-2 cell number and reduced disease burden. Therefore PD-1 is an important negative regulator and is vital for maintaining the number and hence function of KLRG1+ ILC-2s.

Project description:Human skin harbors two major T cell compartments of equal size that are distinguished by expression of the chemokine receptor CCR8. In vitro studies have demonstrated that CCR8 expression is under strict control of T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-engagement and the skin tissue microenvironment. We here examined the relationship between CCR8+ and CCR8− T cells. Phenotypic, functional, and transcriptomic analyses revealed that CCR8+ skin T cells bear all the hallmarks of resident memory T (TRM) cells, including homeostatic proliferation in response to IL-7 and IL-15, surface expression of tissue-localization (CD103) and -retention (CD69) markers, low levels of inhibitory receptors (PD-1, Tim-3, LAG-3), and a lack of senescence markers (CD57, KLRG1). In contrast, CCR8− skin T cells are heterogeneous and comprise variable numbers of exhausted (PD-1+), senescent (CD57+, KLRG1+), and effector (T-bethi, Eomeshi) T cells. Importantly, conventional and high-throughput analyses of expressed T cell receptor beta-chain (TRB) gene rearrangement sequences showed that the two skin memory T cell compartments distinguished by CCR8 expression are clonotypically distinct, suggesting that they are produced in response to separate antigenic challenges and distinct stimulatory conditions. Moreover, the phenotypic profiles of these populations were stable in vitro and the presence of similar levels of telomere erosion excludes the possibility of a linear differentiation pathway. In conclusion, CCR8 marks skin-specific, long-lived memory T cells. Therefore, we propose that CCR8+ T cells should be targeted in future skin vaccination research.

Project description:Migratory behaviour is rapidly changing in response to recent environmental changes, yet it is difficult to predict how migration will evolve in the future. To understand what determines the rate of adaptive evolutionary change in migratory behaviour, we simulated the evolution of residency using an individual-based threshold model, which allows for variation in selection, number of genes, environmental effects and assortative mating. Our model indicates that the recent reduction in migratory activity found in a population of Eurasian blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla) is only compatible with this trait being under strong directional selection, in which residents have the highest fitness and fitness declines exponentially with migration distance. All other factors had minor effects on the adaptive response. Under this form of selection, a completely migratory population will become partially migratory in 6 and completely resident in 98 generations, demonstrating the persistence of partial migration, even under strong directional selection. Resident populations will preserve large amounts of cryptic genetic variation, particularly if migration is controlled by a large number of genes with small effects. This model can be used to realistically simulate the evolution of any threshold trait, including semi-continuous traits like migration, for predicting evolutionary response to natural selection in the wild.
