Single-Cell Transcriptomics Identifies TOX as a Key Transcriptional Regulator of Progenitor-Like CD8 T Cells in Chronic Infection [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Stem-like CD8 T cells maintain long-term antiviral CD8 immunity during chronic infection, and share regulatory pathways with memory precursor effector cells generated after acute infection. However, it is unclear whether stem-like CD8 T cells require distinct transcriptional and epigenetic regulation for their longevity and adaptation to the immunosuppressive environment in chronic infection. Here, our comparison of single-cell transcriptomes and epigenetic profiles of CD8 T cells responding to acute and chronic viral infections revealed that stem-like CD8 T cells became distinct from memory precursors before clonal expansion ended. We found that a coexpression gene module containing Tox exhibited higher transcriptional activities and active histone marks in stem-like T cells than memory precursors. Moreover, TOX promoted persistence of antiviral CD8 T cells, and was required for stem-like CD8 differentiation. Our results indicate that stem-like CD8 T cells require unique transcriptional and epigenetic programs for their differentiation and persistence during chronic viral infection.

PD-1+ Tcf1+ CD8+ T cells from established chronic infections can convert into memory cells but keep a stable imprint of persistent stimulation

Project description:The CD8+ T cell response to chronic viral infection is sustained by virus-specific memory-like (TML) CD8+ T cells. TML have recall expansion, self-renewal and differentiation capacity, similar to central memory (TCM) CD8+ T cells that arise in response to acute infection and persist long-term in the absence of antigen. An unresolved question is whether TML can also form memory. Here we showed that TML persisted in antigen free hosts. Further, in response to acute restimulation, TML expanded and differentiated inefficiently, but self-renewal and long-term persistence was not very different from TCM. Progeny of TML resembled conventional memory cells but retained multiple characteristics of chronically stimulated cells. This imprint was accounted for by the overexpression of the transcription factor Tox. Our findings demonstrated that chronically stimulated CD8+ T cells yielded memory that, however, differed from conventional memory formed in response to acute resolved infection.

Distinct SIV-specific lymphoid tissue CD8 T cells exhibit simultaneous effector and stem-like profiles and associate with limited SIV persistence

Project description:HIV cure efforts are increasingly focused on harnessing CD8 T cell functions; however, a deeper understanding of CD8 T cells promoting HIV control is necessary to properly inform therapeutic approaches. Here, we identified a novel TOX-expressing CD8 T cell population associated with control of SIV infection in lymphoid tissue of rhesus macaques defined as an antigen-responsive TCF1+ CD39+ subset expressing high levels of TOX and inhibitory receptors but lower levels of canonical cytolytic molecules such as granzyme B, granzyme A, and perforin. Transcriptional analysis of SIV-specific CD8 T cells, as well as proteomic analysis of purified CD8 T cell subsets, revealed these TCF1+ CD39+ cells as an intermediate effector population retaining stem-like features while maintaining a lineage relationship with terminal effector cells. TCF1+ CD39+ CD8 T cells expressed higher levels of CXCR5 than terminally differentiated cells, were found at higher frequency in follicular micro-environments, and were preferentially located in the proximity of SIV-RNA+ cells both in lymph node T cell zone and B cell follicles. Importantly, their frequency was strongly associated with reduced plasma viremia and lower reservoir size. Finally, we confirmed the presence of a highly similar TOX-enriched TCF1+ CD39+ cell population in lymph node biopsies from ART-naïve and ART-treated people living with HIV. Collectively, these data identify a unique population of lymphoid CD8 T cells possessing both stem-like and effector properties that contribute to limiting HIV/SIV persistence.

Brain-infiltrating CD8+ T cell transcriptional activity after acute infection and during CNS autoimmunity [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Gene expression of WT and Tox -/- P14 CD8+ T cells adoptively transfered in WT and MOG-GP recipient mice following intracranial infection with LCMV-GP. CD8+ T cells play a pivotal role in eliminating pathogens or tumors, but they equally exert tissue damage in autoimmune or chronic inflammatory diseases. While the mechanisms regulating the differentiation of CD8+ T cells in chronic infections and cancer are just beginning to be unraveled, we still lack knowledge about how this unfolds in autoimmune diseases. Here, we investigated in a model of chronic central nervous system autoimmunity, the transcriptional and epigenetic landscape of autoreactive brain infiltrating CD8+ T cells and how these cells diverge from classical long-lived memory CD8+ T emerging after virus infection.

Epigenetic signature of PD-1+ TCF1+ CD8 T cells thatact as resource cells during chronic viral infectionand respond to PD-1 blockade

Project description:We have recently defined a novel population of PD-1+TCF1+virus-specific CD8 T cells that function as resource cells during chronic LCMV infection and provide the proliferative burst seen after PD-1 blockade. Such CD8 T cells have been found in other chronic infections and also in cancer in mice and humans. These CD8 T cells exhibit stem-like properties undergoing self-renewal and also giving rise to the terminally differentiated (exhausted) CD8 T cells. Here we compared the epigenetic signature of stem-like CD8 T cells with exhausted CD8 T cells. ATAC-seq analysis showed that stem-like CD8 T cells had a unique signature implicating activity of TCF (HMG family) and NF-κB (RHD family) members. In addition, transcription factor networks including Tcf7, Id3, and Bach2 were enriched in stem-like CD8 T cells. In contrast,exhausted CD8 T cells enriched accessible sites for ETS and Runx motifs in addition to a network encompassing Prdm1 and Il10. We also compared the epigenetic signatures of the two CD8 T-cellsubsets from chronically infected mice with effector and memory CD8 T cells generated after an acute LCMV infection. Both CD8T-cell subsets generated during chronic infection were strikingly different from CD8 T-cell subsets from acute infection. Interestingly, the stem-like CD8 T-cell subset from chronic infection, despite sharing key functional properties with memory CD8 T cells,had a very distinct epigenetic program. These results show that the chronic stem-like CD8 T-cell program represents a specific adaptation of the T-cell response to persistent antigenic stimulation.

Intestinal tuft cell immune privilege enables norovirus persistence

Project description:The persistent murine norovirus strain MNVCR6 is a model for human norovirus and enteric viral persistence. MNVCR6 causes chronic infection by directly infecting tuft cells, rare chemosensory epithelial cells. Although MNVCR6 induces functional MNV-specific CD8+ T cells, these lymphocytes fail to clear infection. To clarify how tuft cells promote immune escape, we interrogated tuft cell interactions with CD8+ T cells by adoptively transferring JEDI (Just EGFP Death Inducing) CD8+ T cells into tuft cell reporter mice (Gfi1b-GFP). Surprisingly, some tuft cells partially resist JEDI CD8+ T cell-mediated killing – unlike Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells and extraintestinal tuft cells – despite seemingly normal antigen presentation. When targeting tuft cells, JEDI CD8+ T cells predominantly adopt a T resident memory phenotype with decreased effector and cytotoxic capacity, enabling tuft cell survival. Importantly, JEDI CD8+ T cells neither clear nor prevent MNVCR6 infection in the colon, the site of viral persistence, despite targeting a virus-independent antigen (e.g., GFP).

Memory like NK cells display stem cell like properties after Zika virus Infection

Project description:Here we show that Zika virus infection induces memory like NK cells that express CD27. This subset shared transcriptional changes with memory CD8 T cells, stem cells and stem like T cells. These NK cells with memory and stemness features which we term NK memory stem cells (SCMNK) demonstrated greater antiviral potential. Transcriptional data of SCMNK and non-memory NK cells is presented.

Memory-like HCV-specific CD8+ T cells retain a chronic scar after cure of chronic HCV infection

Project description:Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with CD8+ T-cell exhaustion characterized by limited effector functions and thus compromised anti-viral activity. Exhausted HCV-specific CD8+ T cells are comprised of memory-like and terminally exhausted CD8+ T-cell subsets. So far, little is not known about the molecular profile and fate of these cells after elimination of chronic antigen stimulation by direct acting antiviral therapy (DAA). Here, we report an antigen-driven molecular core signature underlying exhausted CD8+ T-cell subset heterogeneity in chronic viral infection with a progenitor/progeny relationship of memory-like and terminally exhausted HCV-specific CD8+ T cells via an intermediate stage. Furthermore, transcriptional profiling reveals that the memory-like cells remain after DAA-mediated cure while terminally exhausted HCV-specific CD8+ T-cell subsets are lost. Thus, the memory polarization of the overall HCV-specific CD8+ T-cell response after cure does not result from re-differentiation of exhausted T cells. Consequently, antigen elimination has little impact on the exhausted core signature of memory-like CD8+ T cells that remains clearly different from bona fide T-cell memory. These results identify a molecular signature of T-cell exhaustion that is imprinted like a chronic scar in HCV-specific CD8+ T cells even after HCV cure, highlighting the requirement of re-programming to elicit full effector potential of exhausted T cells.
