Project description:Effector CD8+ T cell (TE) proliferation and cytokine production depends on enhanced glucose metabolism. However, circulating T cells continuously adapt to glucose fluctuations caused by diet and inter-organ metabolite exchange. Here we show that transient glucose restriction (TGR) in activated CD8+ TE metabolically primes effector functions and enhances tumour clearance in mice. Tumor-specific TGR CD8+ TE co-cultured with tumor spheroids in replete conditions display enhanced effector molecule expression, and adoptive transfer of these cells in a murine lymphoma model leads to greater numbers of immunologically functional circulating donor cells and complete tumor clearance. Mechanistically, TGR TE undergo metabolic remodelling that upon glucose re-exposure supports enhanced glucose uptake, increased carbon allocation to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and a cellular redox shift toward a more reduced state, all indicators of a more anabolic program to support their enhanced functionality. Thus, metabolic conditioning could be utilized to promote efficiency of T cell products for adoptive cellular therapy.

Project description:IL-2 and IL-21 are closely related cytokines that might have arisen by gene duplication. Both cytokines promote the function of effector CD8+ T cells, but their distinct effects on antigen-driven differentiation of naïve CD8+ T cells into effector CD8+ T cells are not clearly understood. We found that antigen-induced expression of eomesodermin and maturation of naïve CD8+ T cells into granzyme B and CD44 expressing effector CD8+ T cells was enhanced by IL-2, but, unexpectedly, suppressed by IL-21. Furthermore, IL-21 repressed expression of IL-2Ra and inhibited IL-2-mediated acquisition of a cytolytic CD8+ T cell phenotype. Despite its inhibitory effects, IL-21 did not induce anergy, but instead potently enhanced the capacity of cells to mediate tumor regression upon adoptive transfer. In contrast, IL-2, surprisingly, impaired the subsequent anti-tumor function of transferred cells. Gene expression studies revealed a distinct IL-21-program that was characterized phenotypically by increased expression of L-selectin and functionally by enhanced anti-tumor immunity that was not reversed by secondary in vitro stimulation with antigen and IL-2. Thus, the efficacy of CD8+ T cells for adoptive immunotherapy can be influenced by opposing differentiation programs conferred by IL-2 and IL-21, a finding with important implications for the development of cellular cancer therapies.

Project description:In our study, we utilized cutting-edge CrisPR-Cas9 technology to evaluate the effects of deleting prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing enzymes (PHD) 2 and 3, which stabilizes HIF-1 signaling, in CD8 T cells that have already undergone differentiation and activation, mirroring the conditions encountered in clinical settings. Our study revealed a significant boost in T-cell activation and effector functions after PHD2/3 deletion, and conclusively established its dependence on HIF-1. This improvement in CD8 T cell performance translated into a remarkable enhancement in the response to adoptive T cell therapy, across various tumor models, even including those reported to be extremely resistant to immunotherapeutic interventions. Furthermore, our data provide compelling evidence that the increased effector functions observed in PHD-deficient (KO) CD8 T cells are intricately linked to an increased glycolytic flux. These findings hold significant promise for advancing CD8 T -cell based therapies and overcoming the immune suppression barriers within challenging tumor microenvironments.

Project description:Effector cells for adoptive immunotherapy can be generated by in vitro stimulation of naïve or memory subsets of CD8+ T cells. While the characteristics of CD8+ T cell subsets are well defined, the heritable influence of those populations on their effector cell progeny is not well understood. We studied effector cells generated from naïve or central memory CD8+ T cells and found that they retained distinct gene expression signatures and developmental programs. Effector cells derived from central memory cells tended to retain their CD62L+ phenotype, but also to acquire KLRG1, an indicator of cellular senescence. In contrast, the effector cell progeny of naïve cells displayed reduced terminal differentiation, and, following infusion, they displayed greater expansion, cytokine production, and tumor destruction. These data indicate that effector cells retain a gene expression imprint conferred by their naïve or central memory progenitors, and they suggest a strategy for enhancing cancer immunotherapy. Experiment Overall Design: Effector cells were generated from naive or central memory CD8+ T cells. The cells were then rested (unstimulated) or restimulated (stimulated). This experimental design resulted in 4 groups (Naïve-derived/stimulated, Naïve-derived/unstimulated, Central memory-derived/stimulated, Central memory-derived/unstimulated). Three replicates from independent experiments were analyzed.

Project description:Environmental nutrient availability influences T cell metabolism, impacting T cell function and shaping immune outcomes. However, the metabolic pathways critical for optimal T cell responses remain poorly understood. Here, we identify ketone bodies (KBs) – including -hydroxybutyrate (OHB) and acetoacetate (AcAc) – as essential fuels supporting CD8+ T cell metabolism and effector function. Ketolysis is an intrinsic feature of highly functional CD8+ T effector (Teff) cells and OHB directly increases CD8+ Teff cell IFN- production and cytolytic activity. Using metabolic tracers, we establish that CD8+ Teff cells preferentially use KBs over glucose to fuel the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in vitro and in vivo. KBs directly boost the respiratory capacity of CD8+ T cells and TCA cycle-dependent metabolic pathways that fuel T cell growth. Mechanistically, we find that OHB is a major substrate for acetyl-CoA production in CD8+ T cells and regulates effector responses through effects on histone acetylation. Together, our results identify cell-intrinsic ketolysis as a metabolic and epigenetic driver of optimal CD8+ T cell effector responses.

Project description:The optimal T cell attributes for the adoptive immunotherapy of cancer and viral diseases are currently unclear. Recent adoptive transfer clinical trials using ex vivo expanded tumor infiltrating lymphocytes has provided evidence that differentiated effector T cells can mediate durable responses in selected cancer patients. The capacity of these transferred cells to persist in the host was found to strongly correlate with their clinical activity. Thus, there is significant interest in identifying intrinsic markers that define antigen specific effector T cells that can develop into long-lived memory cells rather than undergoing apoptosis after infusion in humans. We recently reported the long term persistence of ex vivo expanded tumor specific CD8+ T effector clones in refractory metastatic melanoma patients after adoptive T cell transfer. By utilizing these highly homogeneous clone populations, we sought to define the pre-infusion cellular and molecular attributes associated with their effector to memory transition. Comparative transcriptional profiling found the pre-infusion clone mRNA expression levels of the IL-7 receptor (IL-7Ra) and the proto-oncogene, c-myc, directly correlated with the level of clonal persistence after adoptive transfer in humans. The predictive value of these markers was further established by utilizing IL-7R protein, induced pSTAT5, and c-myc mRNA expression to prospectively identify human tumor specific effector clones that could engraft after controlled adoptive transfer into highly immunodeficient mice. These findings support that IL-7R and c-myc expression are valuable cell intrinsic markers that can predict the fate of effector CD8+ T cells after adoptive transfer. We used microarrays to compare the pre-infusion gene expression profile of melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell clones that would eventually either persist or not after adoptive transfer in humans. We derived ten melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell clones and determined their degree of persistence after adoptive therapy into patients. We performed microarray on the pre-infusion samples of six persisting and four non-persisting clones to obtain a comparative gene signature profile.

Project description:The subject of this study is the adoptive transfer of selected autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) after in vitro expansion for the treatment of solid tumor malignancies. The TIL selection process is based on evidence showing that CD8+ TIL which co-express both CD39 and CD103 harbor the bulk of tumor-reactivity and that the remaining CD8 TIL is mainly composed of non-tumor reactive bystander cells. All of the expanded TIL that are produced (1-40 billion are expected) will be delivered in the form of a cell suspension to the participants by intravenous infusion. It is proposed that these selected TIL will produce a more potent and efficacious treatment of late-stage cancer.

Project description:Mitochondria regulate T cell functions and response to cancer immunotherapy. We show that pharmacologically induced PKM2 activation enhances mitochondria-dependent effector functions in mouse and human CD8 T cells and CAR-T cells. Multi-omics analysis and 13C-glucose tracer experiments showed that PKM2 activation alters one-carbon metabolism with decreased levels of methionine leading to hypomethylation of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA and enhanced expression of genes supporting mitochondrial biogenesis and respiratory complex formation in CD8 T cells. Functionally, PKM2 activation increased the recall responses and anti-tumor functions of CD8 T cells after adoptive cell therapy. Using preclinical melanoma and colon cancer models, we found that PKM2-agonist induced CD8 T cell-dependent anti-tumor responses that synergized with PD1 blockade therapy. Immunologically, PKM2 agonists resulted in enhanced activation and decreased exhaustion of effector T cells while reducing the numbers of suppressive FoxP3+ Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment. Anti-PD1 combination further enhanced the frequency and activation of tumor specific CD8 T cells in the tumors. Together, we show that PKM2 agonism modulates mitochondrial structure and function, leading to enhanced effector functions of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Hence, targeting PKM2 via pharmacologically available small molecules can be a clinically viable strategy for the enhancement of therapeutic potential of in-situ immune responses, adoptive cell therapy, and immune checkpoint blockade therapy
