Lymphopenia-induced T cell exhaustion in STING gain-of-function mouse model


ABSTRACT: STING gain-of-function (GOF) mutations lead to T cell lymphopenia, in the context of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) for STING GOF V154M mice. This T cell lymphopenia, which is of central origin, has been described as type I IFN independent and associated with dysfunctions of the rare mature T cells found in the periphery. To better describe the biological mechanisms of these dysfunctions, we performed a transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq on sorted splenic CD4+ and CD8+ mature T cells from STING GOF mice. We highlighted an unexpected T cell exhaustion phenotype that could partly explain their dysfunctions. Acquired very early in life, but only once the peripheral environment is reached, the phenotype appeared to depend neither on type I IFNs, nor on the intrinsic activation of STING in T or stromal cells. Mechanistically, the few mature T cells reaching the periphery seem to be rapidly impacted by the lymphopenic environment through increased antigenic and IL-7 stimulations that could lead to their exhaustion. By using STING GOF long term-hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) transplantations with supportive wild-type bone marrow (BM) cells, we prevented the T cell exhaustion of STING GOF T cells in the resulting non lymphopenic context. With the support of lymphopenic RAG1 hypomorphic mice developing the phenotype, our data uncover a lymphopenia-mediated T cell exhaustion mechanism in STING GOF mice, for which a synergistic effect of the mutation is also envisaged.
