Human CD4+ memory T cells are preferential targets for bystander activation and apoptosis

ABSTRACT: There is much evidence that T cells may be activated via mechanisms which act independently of direct TCR ligation. Despite this, the question of whether such forms of ‘bystander’ T cell activation occur during immune responses is hotly debated. To address some outstanding questions, we set up an in vitro system within which to analyse bystander T cell activation in human T cells, in the absence of the possibility for TCR cross-reactivity. In addition, we have investigated the genetic, phenotypic, and functional characteristics of bystander activated T cells. Here, we show that bystander T cell activation is, indeed, observed during a specific immune response, and that it occurs preferentially amongst CD4+ memory T cells. Furthermore, bystander activated T cells display a distinct gene expression profile. The mechanism for bystander T cell activation involves soluble factors, and the outcome is an elevated level of apoptosis. This may provide an explanation for the attrition of T cell memory pools of heterologous specificity during immune responses to pathogens such as viruses.

Transcription profiling of human CD4+ memory T cells reveals they are preferential targets for bystander activation and apoptosis

Project description:There is much evidence that T cells may be activated via mechanisms which act independently of direct TCR ligation.

Experiment Overall Design: Three conditions tested with 4 biological repilicates in each: Experiment Overall Design: Resting cells - cells expressing a TCR which does not specifically recognize SEB (VÎ²13.1 T cells) and did not upregulate the activation marker CD25 in response to transwell SEB-stimulated co-culture over a 5 day period. Experiment Overall Design: Bystander activated cells - cells expressing a TCR which does not specifically recognize SEB (VÎ²13.1 T cells), but which did upregulate the activation marker CD25 in response to transwell SEB-stimulated co-culture over a 5 day period. Experiment Overall Design: Directly activated cells - cells expressing a TCR which is known to specifically recognize SEB (VÎ²17 T cells), and which did upregulate the activation marker CD25 in response to direct SEB stimulation over a 5 day period.

CD4+ cell transcriptional profiling by RNA sequencing

Project description:<p>We use next generation sequencing to investigate the different transcriptomes of closely related CD4+ T-cells from healthy human donors to elucidate the genetic programs that underlie their specialized immune functions. Six cell types were included: Regulatory T-cells (CD25hiCD127low/neg with >95% FOXP3+ purity), regulatory T-cells activated using PMA/ionomycin, CD25-CD45RA+ ('naive' helper T-cells), CD25-CD45RO+ ('memory' helper T-cells), activated Th17 cells (>98% IL17A+ purity) and activated IL17-CD4+ T-cells (called 'ThPI'). Poly-T capture beads were used to isolate mRNA from total RNA, and fragment sizes of ~200 were sequenced from both ends on Illumina's genome analyzer. We confirm many of the canonical signature genes of T-cell populations, but also discover new genes whose expression is limited to specific CD4 T-cell lineages, including long non-coding RNAs. Additionally, we find that genes encoded at loci linked to multiple human autoimmune diseases are enriched for preferential expression upon T-cell activation, suggesting that an aberrant response to T-cell activation is fundamental to pathogenesis.</p>

After virus exposure, early bystander naïve CD8 T cell activation relies on NAD+ salvage metabolism

Project description:CD8 T cells play a central role in antiviral immunity. Type I interferons are among the earliest responders after virus exposure and can cause extensive reprogramming and antigen-independent bystander activation of CD8 T cells. Although bystander activation of pre-existing memory CD8 T cells is known to play an important role in host defense and immunopathology, its impact on naïve CD8 T cells remains underappreciated. Here we report that exposure to reovirus, both in vitro or in vivo, promotes bystander activation of naïve CD8 T cells within 24 hours and that this distinct subtype of CD8 T cell displays an innate, antiviral, type I interferon sensitized signature. The induction of bystander naïve CD8 T cells is STAT1 dependent and regulated through nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT)-mediated enzymatic actions within NAD+ salvage metabolic biosynthesis. These findings identify a novel aspect of CD8 T cell activation following virus infection with implications for human health and physiology.

B cell directed CAR-T cell therapy results in activation of CD8+ cytotoxic CAR-negative bystander T cells in both non-human primates and patients (human)

Project description:There is growing appreciation for the emergence of CARneg bystander T cells after CAR-T cell infusion. However, their phenotypic and transcriptomic hallmarks and mechanisms of activation remain uncertain. We performed single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) on non-human primate (NHP) and patient-derived T cells to interrogate CARneg T cells following B cell targeted CAR-T cell therapy. In a NHP model, we observed a distinct population of activated CD8+ CARneg T cells emerging during CAR-T cell expansion. These bystander CD8+ CARneg T cells exhibited a unique transcriptional signature with upregulation of NK-cell markers (KIR3DL2, CD160, KLRD1), chemokines and chemokine receptors (CCL5, XCL1, CCR9), and downregulation of naive T cell-associated genes (SELL, CD28). A transcriptionally similar population was identified in patients following Tisangelecleucel infusion. Mechanistic studies revealed that IL-2 and IL-15 exposure induced bystander-like CD8+ T cells. These T cells efficiently killed leukemic cells through a TCR-independent mechanism. Together, these data identify bystander CD8+ T cells as a novel mechanism by which CAR-T cell infusion can induce further anti-leukemic activity, measurable in both NHP and in patients.

Shin2019- Regulation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT)

Project description:A properly functioning immune system is vital for an organism's wellbeing. Immune tolerance is a critical feature of the immune system that allows immune cells to mount effective responses against exogenous pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, while preventing attack to self-tissues. Activation-induced cell death (AICD) in T lymphocytes, in which repeated stimulations of the T-cell receptor (TCR) lead to activation and then apoptosis of T cells, is a major mechanism for T cell homeostasis and helps maintain peripheral immune tolerance. Defects in AICD can lead to development of autoimmune diseases. Despite its importance, the regulatory mechanisms that underlie AICD remain poorly understood, particularly at an integrative network level. Here, we develop a dynamic multi-pathway model of the integrated TCR signalling network and perform model-based analysis to characterize the network-level properties of AICD. Model simulation and analysis show that amplified activation of the transcriptional factor NFAT in response to repeated TCR stimulations, a phenomenon central to AICD, is tightly modulated by a coupled positive-negative feedback mechanism. NFAT amplification is predominantly enabled by a positive feedback self-regulated by NFAT, while opposed by a NFAT-induced negative feedback via Carabin. Furthermore, model analysis predicts an optimal therapeutic window for drugs that help minimize proliferation while maximize AICD of T cells. Overall, our study provides a comprehensive mathematical model of TCR signalling and model-based analysis offers new network-level insights into the regulation of activation-induced cell death in T cells Model is encoded by Johannes and submitted to BioModels by Ahmad Zyoud.
