Long-term persistent infection with equine arteritis virus is associated with the upregulation of specific CD8+ T lymphocyte transcription factors, inhibitory receptors, and the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis in the ampullae of the stallion reproductive tract

ABSTRACT: We performed whole transcriptome analysis of the ampullae, the primary site of EAV persistence, derived from long-term carrier stallions to understand the molecular signature of persistent infection. We demonstrated that long-term persistence is characterized by a local CD8+ T lymphocyte response predominantly driven by the transcription factors EOMES and NFATC2.We showed that EAV persistence is associated with an enhanced expression of CXCL16/CXCR6 in infiltrating lymphocytes. Furthermore, we established a link between the CXCL16 genotype and the gene expression profile at the site of persistence following EAV infection. Co-expression network analysis identified CXCL16 as a “hub” gene, likely driving a specific transcriptional network.

Dendritic cells maintain anti-tumor immunity by positioning CD8 resident memory T cells in the skin through the CXCL16-CXCR6 axis

Project description:Tissue-resident memory (TRM) T cells are emerging as critical components of the immune response to cancer; yet, requirements for their ongoing function and maintenance remain unclear. Antigen presenting cells (APC) promote TRM cell differentiation and re-activation but have not been implicated in sustaining TRM cell responses. Here, we identified a novel role for dendritic cells in supporting tissue resident memory to melanoma. We showed that CD8 TRM cells remain in close proximity to dendritic cells in the skin. Depletion of CD11c+ cells results in rapid disaggregation and eventual loss of melanoma-specific TRM cells. Additionally, we determined that TRM migration and/or persistence requires chemotaxis and adhesion mediated by the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis. The interaction between CXCR6-expressing TRM cells and CXCL16-expressing APCs was found to be critical for sustaining TRM cell-mediated tumor protection. These findings substantially expand our knowledge of APC functions in tissue resident memory T cell homeostasis and longevity.

CXCR6 Positions Cytotoxic T Cells to Receive Critical Survival Signals in the Tumor Microenvironment

Project description:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against tumors are maintained by stem-like memory cells that self-renew, but also give rise to effector-like cells. The latter gradually lose their anti-tumor activity and acquire an epigenetically fixed, hypofunctional state, leading to tumor tolerance. Here, we show that the conversion of stem-like into effector-like CTL involves a major chemotactic reprogramming that includes the upregulation of chemokine receptor CXCR6. This receptor positions effector-like CTL in a discrete perivascular niche of the tumor stroma that is densely occupied by CCR7+ dendritic cells (DC) expressing the CXCR6 ligand CXCL16. CCR7+ DC also express and trans-present the survival cytokine IL-15. CXCR6 expression and IL-15 trans-presentation are critical for the survival and local expansion of effector-like CTL in the tumor microenvironment to maximize their anti-tumor activity before progressing to irreversible dysfunction. These observations reveal a cellular and molecular checkpoint that determines the magnitude and outcome of anti-tumor immune responses.

The ELK3-CXCL16 axis regulates NK cell cytotoxicity via the chemotactic activity of CXCL16 in TNBC

Project description:Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most challenging subtype of breast cancer because of its aggressive behavior and the limited therapeutic strategies available. In the last decade, immunotherapy has become a promising treatment to prolong survival in advanced solid cancers including TNBC. However, the efficacy of immunotherapy in solid cancers remains limited because solid tumors contain few tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Methods A proteome profiler array was performed to identify secreted CXCL16 protein, the expression of which is regulated by ELK3 to control natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The correlation between ELK3 and CXCL16 was investigated by microarray and TCGA data analysis. NK cell cytotoxicity and migration assays were performed to examine the role of ELK3-CXCL16 in regulating the anticancer effect in TNBC. CXCL16-mediated NK cell recruitment and NK cell cytotoxicity were examined in an experimental metastasis mouse model and in an MDA-MB231 orthotopic mouse model. Results We show that targeting the ETS transcription factor ELK3 recruits immune cells including NK cells into tumors via the chemotactic activity of the chemokine. ELK3 depletion upregulated CXCL16 expression, thereby inducing NK cell recruitment to tumors and increasing NK cell cytotoxicity in TNBC . In silico analysis showed that ELK3 is negatively correlated with CXCL16 expression in breast cancer patient samples. Low expression of ELK3 and high expression of CXCL16 were associated with a better prognosis. Low expression of ELK3 and high expression of CXCL16 were associated with increased expression of NK cell-related genes. Conclusions The ELK3-CXCL16 axis regulates NK cell recruitment and increases NK cell cytotoxicity, suggesting that targeting the ELK3 gene could be an adjuvant strategy for increasing the efficacy of immunotherapy in TNBC.

Gene expression in human breast cancer cell lines regulated by CXCR6 gene

Project description:This study aimed to further our understanding of the role that CXCR6 plays in breast cancer progression. Microarrays were searched for some genes that had correlated expression with CXCR6 mRNA. According to fold-change screening between restoring expression of CXCR6 and its respective control cells in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, both up-regulated and down-regulated genes were shown. The restoring of CXCR6 expression in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were respectively noted as MDA-MB-231-CXCR6 and MCF-7-CXCR6 cells and the respective controls were noted as MDA-MB-231-GFP and MCF-7-GFP cells.

Equine arteritis virus long-term persistence is orchestrated by CD8+ T lymphocyte transcription factors, inhibitory receptors, and the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis.

Project description:Equine arteritis virus (EAV) has the unique ability to establish long-term persistent infection in the reproductive tract of stallions and be sexually transmitted. Previous studies showed that long-term persistent infection is associated with a specific allele of the CXCL16 gene (CXCL16S) and that persistence is maintained despite the presence of local inflammatory and humoral and mucosal antibody responses. Here, we performed transcriptomic analysis of the ampullae, the primary site of EAV persistence in long-term EAV carrier stallions, to understand the molecular signatures of viral persistence. We demonstrated that the local CD8+ T lymphocyte response is predominantly orchestrated by the transcription factors eomesodermin (EOMES) and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic 2 (NFATC2), which is likely modulated by the upregulation of inhibitory receptors. Most importantly, EAV persistence is associated with an enhanced expression of CXCL16 and CXCR6 by infiltrating lymphocytes, providing evidence of the implication of this chemokine axis in the pathogenesis of persistent EAV infection in the stallion reproductive tract. Furthermore, we have established a link between the CXCL16 genotype and the gene expression profile in the ampullae of the stallion reproductive tract. Specifically, CXCL16 acts as a "hub" gene likely driving a specific transcriptional network. The findings herein are novel and strongly suggest that RNA viruses such as EAV could exploit the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis in order to modulate local inflammatory and immune responses in the male reproductive tract by inducing a dysfunctional CD8+ T lymphocyte response and unique lymphocyte homing in the reproductive tract.

CXCR6-CXCL16 Axis Promotes Breast Cancer by Inducing Oncogenic Signaling.

Project description:Precise mechanisms underlying breast cancer (BrCa) metastasis are undefined, which becomes a challenge for effective treatments. Chemokine signaling instigates the trafficking of cancer cells in addition to leukocytes. This study aimed to ascertain the clinical and biological significance of the CXCR6/CXCL16 signaling axis in the pathobiology of BrCa. Our data show a higher expression of CXCR6 in BrCa cell lines and tissues. Stage-III BrCa tissues express significantly higher CXCR6 compared to stage-II tissues. The ligand, CXCL16, could remain tethered to the cell surface, and, after proteolytic shedding of the ectodomain, the N-terminal fragment is released, converting it to its oncogenic, soluble form. Like CXCR6, N-terminal CXCL16 and ADAM-10 were significantly higher in stage-III than stage-II, but no significant difference was observed in the C-terminal fragment of CXCL16. Further, stimulation of the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis activated Src, FAK, ERK1/2, and PI3K signaling pathways, as per antibody microarray analysis, which also underlie CXCL16-induced F-actin polymerization. The CXCR6/CXCL16 axis induces cytoskeleton rearrangement facilitating migration and invasion and supports BrCa cell survival by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway. This study highlights the significance of the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis and ADAM10 as potential therapeutic targets for advanced-stage BrCa.
