T cells activated in the presence or absence of TLR agonists

ABSTRACT: We report the gene expression differences between OT-1 T cells activated alone or in the presence of TLR1/2 (Pam3CSK4) or TLR7 (Gardiquimod). By activating OT-1 splenocytes in the presence or absence of the TLR agonists, isolating RNA from purified CD8+ T cells we show that cells activated in the presence of either TLR1/2 or TLR7 agonists had similar transcriptional profiles demonstrating an increase in Th1 cytokine expression over cells that were activated alone. This study provides a key piece of information for those designing T cell mediated therapies.

Project description:The activation of TLR-MyD88 (Toll like receptor- Myeloid differentiation factor 88) signaling within T cells functions as a potent costimulatory signal that boosts antitumor and antiviral responses. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the costimulatory processes are poorly understood. We compared microarray gene analysis data between TLR1-TLR2 stimulated and unstimulated T cell receptor transgenic âpmelâ and MyD88-/-pmel CD8+ T cells and identified changes in the expression levels of several TNF family members. In particular, TLR-stimulation increased 4-1BB levels in pmel but not in MyD88-/-pmel T cells. A link between 4-1BB and TLR1-TLR2 signaling in CD8+ T cells was highlighted by in fact that 4-1BB-/- T cells exhibited suboptimal responses to TLR1-TLR2 agonist, but responded normally to CD28 or OX40 costimulation. Moreover, blocking 4-1BB signaling with antibodies also hindered the costimulatory effects of the TLR1-TLR2 agonist. The elevated levels of 4-1BB transcripts in TLR1-TLR2âstimulated cells were not due to increased mRNA stability nor increased histone activation but instead were associated with increased binding of p65 and c-Jun to two distinct 4-1BB promoter sites. Combining TLR1-TLR2 ligand with an agonistic anti-4-1BB antibody enhanced the antitumor activity in mice with established melanoma tumors. These studies reveal that the costimulatory effects of TLR1-TLR2 signaling in CD8+ T cells are in part mediated by 4-1BB and are important for mounting an effective antitumor immune response. CD8+ T cells from the B6.Cg-Thy1/Cy Tg(TcraTcrb)8Rest/J mice, referred to as âpmelâ T cells or from MyD88 knockout pmel mice (MyD88â/âpmel) were sorted. pmel and MyD88â/âpmel T cells were activated using MyD88â/â CD8 T cell-depleted splenocytes pulsed with 10ng/ml of mgp100. This was with or without 10Âµg/ml of Pam3CSK4. pmel or MyD88â/âpmel CD8 T cells were enriched and used for the extraction of RNA used for genomic analysis.
