Transcriptional analysis of human blood CXCR5+ CD4 T cell populations

ABSTRACT: The vast majority of currently licensed human vaccines work on the basis of long-term protective antibody responses. Generation of long term humoral immunity is a complex process predominantly dependent on germinal centers and CD4 T cell help to B cells. Follicular helper T cells (Tfh) are the specialized CD4 T cells for B cell help. However, whether such cells develop memory in humans and can be tracked in human blood has been enigmatic. We identified a subpopulation of blood CXCR5+ PD-1+CXCR3- resting CD4 T cells that are most related to Tfh cells of lymphoid tissue by gene expression profile and phenotype. Functional analysis showed that these memory Tfh cells were specialized for helping B cells. Moreover, these cells correlate with a clinically important outcome: development of potent neutralizing antibodies against HIV in HIV+ individuals. CD4 T cells were enriched from fresh blood of 5 normal donors by magnetic beads negative selection. Following enrichment, CD14-CD16-CD19-CD8-CD4+CD45RA- cells from each donor were FACS sorted into the following 5 populations: CXCR5-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3-, CXCR5+PD1+CXCR3+, CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3-, and CXCR5+PD1-CXCR3+. The gene expression profile of each cell population was determined.

Transcriptional analysis of human tonsil Tfh cells

Project description:Follicular helper CD4 T (Tfh) cells provide B cells with signals that are important for the generation of high-affinity Abs and immunological memory and, therefore, are critical for the protective immunity elicited by most human vaccines. In this study we sought to define the gene expression signature of bona fide GC Tfh and Tfh cells. The CD4+ T cell subsets CD45RO+CXCR5-, CD45RO+CXCR5int (Tfh cells), and CD45RO+CXCR5hi (GC Tfh cells) were isolated from 6 tonsil samples for gene expression analysis.

Expression data of Tfh cells

Project description:Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells access the B cell follicle to promote antibody responses, and are particularly important for germinal center (GC) reactions. However, the molecular mechanisms of how Tfh cells are physically associated with GCs are incompletely understood. Here we report that the sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) gene is highly expressed in a subpopulation of Tfh cells that localizes in GCs. S1PR2-deficient Tfh cells exhibited reduced accumulation in GCs due to their impaired retention. T cells deficient in both S1PR2 and CXCR5 were ineffective in supporting GC responses compared to T cells deficient only in CXCR5. These results suggest that S1PR2 and CXCR5 cooperatively regulate localization of Tfh cells in GCs to support GC responses. Venus-high Tfh, Venus-low Tfh, PD1-intermediate Th, PD1-low Th and naïve CD4+ T cells were sorted on FACSAria from immunized S1pr2V/+ mice or control mice for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affimetrix microarrays.

Circulating CXCR5+CXCR3+PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells in HIV-1 controllers with neutralizing antibody breadth

Project description:HIV-1-specific broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bnAb) typically develop in individuals with continuous high-level viral replication and increased immune activation, conditions that cannot be reproduced during prophylactic immunization. Understanding mechanisms supporting bnAb development in the absence of high-level viremia may be important for designing bnAb-inducing immunogens. Here, we show that the breadth of neutralizing antibody responses in HIV-1 controllers was associated with a relative enrichment of circulating CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo CD4 T cells. These CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells were preferentially induced in vitro by functionally superior dendritic cells from controller neutralizers, and able to secrete IL-21 and support B cells. In addition, these CXCR3+ PD-1Lo Tfh-like cells contain higher proportions of stem cell-like memory T cells, and upon antigenic stimulation differentiated into PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells in a Notch-dependent manner. Together, these data suggest that CXCR5+ CXCR3+ PD-1Lo cells represent a dendritic cell-primed precursor cell population for PD-1Hi Tfh-like cells that may contribute to the generation of bnAbs in the absence of high–level viremia.

Decreased TFR/TFH ratio in SIV-infected rhesus macaques may contribute to accumulation of TFH cells in chronic infection

Project description:T follicular helper cells (TFH) are critical for the development and maintenance of germinal centers (GC) and humoral immune responses. During chronic HIV/SIV infection TFH accumulate, possibly as a result of antigen persistence. The HIV/SIV-associated TFH expansion may also reflect lack of regulation by suppressive follicular regulatory CD4+ T-cells (TFR). TFR are natural regulatory T-cells (TREG) that migrate into the follicle and, similarly to TFH, up-regulate CXCR5, Bcl-6, and PD1. Here we identified TFR as CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CXCR5+PD1hiBcl-6+ within lymph nodes of rhesus macaques (RM) and confirmed their localization within the GC by immunohistochemistry. RNA sequencing showed that TFR exhibit a distinct transcriptional profile with shared features of both TFH and TREG, including intermediate expression of FoxP3, Bcl-6, PRDM1, IL-10, and IL-21. In healthy, SIV-uninfected RM, we observed a negative correlation between frequencies of TFR and both TFH and GC B-cells as well as levels of CD4+ T-cell proliferation. Following SIV infection, the TFR/TFH ratio was reduced with no change in the frequency of TREG or TFR within the total CD4+ T-cell pool. Finally, we examined whether higher levels of direct virus infection of TFR were responsible for their relative depletion post-SIV infection. We found that TFH, TFR and TREG sorted from SIV- infected RM harbor comparable levels of cell-associated viral DNA. Our data suggests that TFR may contribute to the regulation and proliferation of TFH and GC B-cells in vivo and that a decreased TFR/TFH ratio in chronic SIV infection may lead to unchecked expansion of both TFH and GC B-cells. TFR, TFH, TREG and bulk CD4 cells were sorted from spleens of 5 uninfected and 5 infected RM.

RNA_seq analysis on Tfh and Treg before and after abatacept treatment

Project description:Analysis of transcriptome data identified 96, 64 and 3 genes that were differentially expressed (DE, adj. P value < 0.05) following abatacept treatment in Tfh, Treg and CD4+CD45RO+PD1+CXCR5- T cells, respectively. We determined if abatacept treatment altered the core transcriptional profiles of Tfh and Treg lineages by comparing gene expression of bulk sorted Treg and Tfh cells from cryopreserved PBMCs at baseline, week 24, and after abatacept withdrawal. Analysis of differentially expressed (DE) genes in Tfh was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) term enrichment analysis. This analysis revealed 9 significantly enriched GO categories, which were related to processes involved in cell division and proliferation. DE genes in the enriched GO categories showed a highly significant correlation in Tfh and Treg cells, further highlighting the similarity in the response of these two populations to abatacept. In contrast to Tfh and Treg, acatacept had a minimal impact on CD4+CD45RO+PD1+CXCR5- T cells.

Expression Data from in vivo Tfh vs GC Tfh vs non-Tfh

Project description:CD4 T cell help is critical for both the generation and maintenance of germinal centers, and T follicular helper (TFH) cells are the CD4 T cell subset required for this process. SAP (SH2D1A) expression in CD4 T cells is essential for germinal center development. However, SAP-deficient mice have only a moderate defect in TFH differentiation as defined by common TFH surface markers. CXCR5+ TFH cells are found within the germinal center as well as along the boundary regions of T/B cell zones. Here we show that germinal center associated T cells (GC TFH) can be identified by their co-expression of CXCR5 and the GL7 epitope, allowing for phenotypic and functional analysis of TFH and GC TFH populations. Here we show GC TFH are a functionally discrete subset of further polarized TFH cells, with enhanced B cell help capacity and a specialized ability to produce IL-4 in a TH2-independent manner. Strikingly, SAP-deficient mice have an absence of the GC TFH subset and SAP- TFH are defective in IL-4 and IL-21 production. We further demonstrate that SLAM (Slamf1, CD150), a surface receptor that utilizes SAP signaling, is specifically required for IL-4 production by GC TFH. GC TFH cells require IL-4 and IL-21 production for optimal help to B cells. These data illustrate complexities of SAP-dependent SLAM family receptor signaling, revealing a prominent role for SLAM receptor ligation in IL-4 production by germinal center CD4 T cells but not in TFH and GC TFH differentiation. Analysis of in vivo polyclonal GC Tfh vs Tfh vs Non-Tfh eight days after LCMV viral infection. Analysis of in vivo follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5high GL7low), versus germinal center follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5hi GL7hi), versus non-follicular helper CD4 T cells (CXCR5low) eight days after viral infection.
