Project description:A specialized population of memory CD8+ T-cells resides in the epithelium of the respiratory tract to maintain protection against recurring infections. These cells express CD69 and the integrin αβ7 (CD103) and correspond to tissue resident memory T-cells (TRM) also described in intestine, liver and brain. A less well characterized population of CD103- CD8+ T-cells also resides in lungs and expresses markers characteristic of effector memory T-cells (TEM). We determined the transcriptional profiles of these memory CD8+ T-cell subsets retrieved from human lung resection samples and compared these with corresponding T-cell populations from peripheral blood of the same individuals. Our results demonstrate that each of the populations exhibits a distinct transcriptional identity. We found that the lung environment has a major impact on gene expression profiles. Thus, transcriptomes from CD103+ and CD103- subsets from lungs are much more resemblant to one another than to those from CD103+ or CD103- memory CD8+ T-cells from blood. TRM express specific sets of chemokine receptors, in accordance with their unique migratory properties. Furthermore, these cells constitutively express cytokine and cytotoxic genes for immediate effector function and chemokines to attract auxiliary immune cells. At the same time, multiple genes encoding inhibitory regulators are also expressed. This suggests that rapid ability to unleash effector functions is counterbalanced by programmed restraint, a combination that may be critical in the exposed but delicate tissue of the lung. Comprehensive sets of transcription factors were identified that characterize the memory CD8+ populations in the lungs. Prominent among these were components of the Notch pathway. Using mice genetically lacking expression of the NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 receptors in T-cells, we demonstrated that Notch controls both the number of lung TRM as well as the function of lung TEM. Our data illustrate the adaptation of lung resident T-cells to the requirements of the respiratory epithelial environment. Defining the molecular imprinting of these cells is important for rational vaccine design and may help to improve the properties of T-cells for adoptive cellular therapy. Material was collected from a total of 6 subjects. Three patients underwent a lobectomy for a peripheral primary lung tumor and three received lung transplantation because of end-stage pulmonary disease (COPD). Lung mononuclear cells where isolated after digestion of the partial or complete human lung resection material. Paired peripheral blood mononuclear cells were also isolated. CD8+CD16-CD56- T-cells were sorted for expression of CD103 (ITGAE). Lung and blood derived CD103+ and CD103- T-cell fractions were directly lysed after FACS sorting or stimulated overnight with antiCD3/28 beads. Due to the low frequency of resting (non-stimulated) CD103+ T-cells in peripheral blood this subset was obtained from five non-related buffy coat donors. RNA was isolated from 36 sorted cell samples and hybridized on Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 microarrays. Eight microarray samples (including two samples from the buffy coat donors) were excluded after hybridization since their average signal was too low.

Project description:Tissue resident memory (Trm) represent a newly described memory T cell population. We have previously characterized a population of Trm that persists within the brain following acute virus infection. Although capable of providing marked protection against a subsequent local challenge, brain Trm do not undergo recall expansion following dissociation from the tissue. Furthermore, these Trm do not depend on the same survival factors as the circulating memory T cell pool as assessed either in vivo or in vitro. To gain greater insight into this population of cells we compared the gene-expression profiles of Trm isolated from the brain to circulating memory T cells isolated from the spleen following an acute virus infection. Trm displayed altered expression of genes involved in chemotaxis, expressed a distinct set of transcription factors and overexpressed several inhibitory receptors. Cumulatively, these data indicates that Trm are a distinct memory T cell population disconnected from the circulating memory T cell pool and displaying a unique molecular signature which likely results in optimal survival and function within their local environment. 13 samples were analyzed: 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+.CD103- T cells isolated from the spleen of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA. 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+CD103+ T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA; and 3 replicates of memory OT-I.CD8+ CD103- T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA

Project description:Tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) provide superior protection against infection localised to extra-lymphoid compartments in the body. Here we show that CD103+CD8+ TRM cells develop in skin from killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR)G1-negative precursors that selectively infiltrate the epithelial layer. In the skin, a combination of chemokine-guided epithelial entry, local interleukin (IL)-15 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling is required for formation and survival of these long-lived memory cells. Importantly, TRM differentiation results in the gradual acquisition of a unique transcriptional profile that differs from that expressed by memory cells in the circulation and other types of skin-resident intra-epithelial T cells, such as the dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC). We provide a comprehensive molecular and developmental framework for the local differentiation of a distinct type of peripheral memory T cell that contributes to an important first-line of immune defence in barrier tissues such as skin and mucosa. 24 samples were analyzed: 3 replicates of memory gB-T CD8+. CD103+ T cells isolated from the skin of C57/BL6 mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of memory P14 CD8+ T cells isolated from gut of mice on day 60 p.i. with LCMV Armstrong. 3 replicates of memory gB-T CD8+ T cells from the lung of mice on day 30 p.i. with influenza WSN. 3 replicates of memory CD62L high CD8+ T cells from the spleen of mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of memory CD62L low CD8+ T cells from the spleen of mice of day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of γδ-DETC isolated from the skin of C57/BL6 mice on day 30 p.i. with HSV KOS. 3 replicates of αβ-DETC from naive TCRδ-/- mice; and 3 replicates of naive gB-T CD8+ T cells from the spleen of naive gB-T transgenic mice.

Project description:Current cancer immunotherapies promote recovery of CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) population of the tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, not all treated patients exhibit improved anti-tumor immunity and survival, likely due to the immunophenotypical diversity among the CD103+ Trm TILs. Utilising multifaceted proteomics approaches and patients’ clinical analyses, we discovered an unusual subset of CD8+ Trm TILs expressing non-canonical integrin β3 early during T cells activation. The integrin β3 surprisingly heterodimerises with CD103 on T cells, leading to unconventional granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity, elevated alternative bioenergy usage and efficient T cell migration, with minimal overall exhaustion. Importantly, early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with enriched presence of integrin β3+CD103+ Trm TILs exhibited better clinical prognosis, with improved T cell immunophenotype, hence confirming the beneficial role of this unusual subset of Trm TILs. These unconventional anti-tumor T cell features provide new avenues and future opportunities for designing better translational immunotherapy strategies.

Project description:Lung tissue-resident memory CD8+ T-cells (Trm) are critical for heterosubtypic immunity against influenza virus-(IAV)-reinfection. How these cells surveil the lung, respond to infection and interact with other cells remains unresolved. Here, we used mouse models to identify and enrich lung Trm in combination with intravital and static imaging to assess spatiotemporal dynamics of IAV-induced lung TRM before and after recall-infection. CD69+CD103+ Trm localize to sites of prior influenza infection where they exhibit substantially slower movement properties than non-Trm that also surveil the lung. After rechallenge, lung Trm form tight clusters in an antigen-dependent manner. IAV-specific Trm express several factors that regulate myeloid cell biology and their protective immune responses are accompanied by activation and migration of dendritic cells to draining lymph nodes and recruitment of inflammatory monocytes. Overall, these data reveal the dynamic landscapes of lung Trm cells associated with early protective immunity against IAV infection.

Project description:We investigated the transcriptomic landscape of human CD8 tissue-resident T cells (Trm) derived from the ileum to study the differences in compartment (epithelium and lamina propria), CD103+ and CD103- Trm and inflammation-induced changes (active Crohn's disease vs healthy controls).

Project description:Resident memory T-cells (TRM) reside in the lung epithelium and mediate protective immunity against respiratory pathogens. While lung CD8+ TRM have been extensively characterized, the properties of CD4+ TRM remain unclear. Here we determined the transcriptional signature of CD4+ TRM, identified by the expression of CD103, retrieved from human lung resection material. Various tissue homing molecules were specifically upregulated on CD4+ TRM, while expression of tissue egress and lymph node homing molecules were low. CD103+ TRM expressed low levels of T-bet, only a small portion expressed Eomes, and while the mRNA levels for Hobit were increased, protein expression was absent. On the other hand, the CD103+ TRM showed a Notch signature. CD4+CD103+ TRM constitutively expressed high transcript levels of numerous cytotoxic mediators, which was functionally reflected by a fast recall response, magnitude of cytokine production, and a high degree of polyfunctionality. Interestingly, the superior cytokine production appears to be due to an accessible IFNγ locus and was partially due to rapid translation of preformed mRNA. Our studies provide a molecular understanding of the maintenance and potential function of CD4+ TRM in the human lung. Understanding the specific properties of CD4+ TRM is required to rationally improve vaccine design.

Project description:CD8 tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide front-line protection at barrier tissues; however, mechanisms regulating TRM cell development are not completely understood. Priming dictates the migration of effector T cells to the tissue, while factors in the tissue induce in situ TRM cell differentiation. Whether priming also regulates in situ TRM cell differentiation uncoupled from migration is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that T cell priming in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) regulates CD103+ TRM cell differentiation in the intestine. In contrast, T cells primed in the spleen were impaired in the ability to differentiate into CD103+ TRM cells after entry into the intestine. MLN priming initiated a CD103+ TRM cell gene signature and licensed rapid CD103+ TRM cell differentiation in response to factors in the intestine. Licensing was regulated by retinoic acid signaling and primarily driven by factors other than CCR9 expression and CCR9-mediated gut homing. Thus, the MLN is specialized to promote intestinal CD103+ CD8 TRM cell development by licensing in situ differentiation.
