Project description:Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is the prototypic arenavirus and a natural mouse pathogen. LCMV Armstrong, an acutely resolved strain, and LCMV Clone 13, a mutant that establishes chronic infection, have provided contrasting infection models that continue to inform the fundamental biology of T cell differentiation, regulation of exhaustion, and response to checkpoint blockade. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of LCMV Minnesota (LCMV-MN), which was naturally transmitted to laboratory mice upon cohousing with pet shop mice and shares 80-95% amino acid homology with previously characterized LCMV strains. Infection of laboratory mice with purified LCMV-MN resulted in viral persistence that was intermediate between LCMV Armstrong and Clone 13, with widely disseminated viral replication and viremia that was controlled within 15-30 days, unless CD4 T cells were depleted prior to infection. LCMV-MN responding CD8+ T cells biased differentiation towards the recently described PD1+ CXCR5+ Tim-3lo stem-like CD8+ T cell population (also referred to as T exhausted progenitors, Tpex) that effectuates responses to PD-1 blockade checkpoint inhibition, a therapy that rejuvenates responses against chronic infections and cancer. This subset resembled previously characterized PD1+ TCF1+ stem-like CD8+ T cells by transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional assays, yet was atypically abundant. LCMV-MN may provide a tool to better understand the breadth of immune responses in different settings of chronic antigen stimulation as well as the ontogeny of T exhausted progenitors and the regulation of responsiveness to PD-1 blockade.

Project description:The experimental data indicate that during a persistent infection, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) may both directly or indirectly modulate the regulatory cellular processes and alter the cellular functions that are not critical for the survival, but are needed for the homeostasis in the organism. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and MALDI-TOF MS/MS analyses were used to determine the cellular proteome response of HeLa cell line to persistent LCMV infection. Quantitative analysis revealed 24 differentially abundant proteins, half of which were up-regulated and the rest down-regulated. Functional categorization showed that LCMV-responsive proteins were mainly involved in metabolism, stress and defense responses. Among identified proteins, significant changes were found for peroxiredoxins, family of antioxidant enzymes. Decreased amount of these antioxidant proteins was accompanied with the elevation of ROS content in infected cells.

Project description:CD8+ T cells differentiate into two subpopulations in response to acute viral infection: memory precursor effector cells (MPECs) and short-lived effector cells (SLECs). MPECs and SLECs are epigenetically distinct; however, the epigenetic regulators required for formation of these subpopulations are mostly unknown. Here we performed an in vivo CRISPR screen in murine naive CD8+ T cells to identify the epigenetic regulators required for MPEC and SLEC formation, using the acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) Armstrong infection model. We identified the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding-protein-7 (CHD7) as a positive regulator of SLEC formation, as knockout (KO) of Chd7 reduced SLECs numerically. In contrast, KO of Chd7 increased the formation of central memory T cells following pathogen clearance yet attenuated memory cell expansion following a rechallenge. These findings establish CHD7 as a novel positive regulator of SLEC and negative regulator of central memory T cell formation.

Project description:Lassa fever (LF) is a rodent-borne viral disease that can be fatal for human beings. In this study, an attenuated Lassa vaccine candidate, ML29, was tested in SIV-infected rhesus macaques for its ability to elicit immune responses without instigating signs of virulent disease. ML29 is a reassortant between Lassa and Mopeia viruses that causes a transient infection in non-human primates and confers sterilizing protection from lethal Lassa viral challenge. However, since the LF endemic area of West Africa also has high HIV seroprevalence, it is important to determine whether vaccination could be safe in the context of AIDS. SIV-infected and uninfected rhesus macaques were vaccinated with the ML29 virus and monitored for classical and non-classical signs of arenavirus disease. Classical disease signs included viremia, rash, weight loss, high liver enzyme levels, and virus invasion of the central nervous system. Non-classical signs derived from profiling the blood transcriptome of virulent and non-virulent arenavirus infections included increased expression of interferon response genes and decreased expression of COX2, IL-1?, coagulation intermediates and nuclear receptors needed for stress signaling. Here it is demonstrated that SIV-infected and uninfected rhesus macaques responded similarly to ML29 vaccination, and that none developed signs of arenavirus disease or persistence. Furthermore, 5 of 5 animals given a heterologous challenge with a lethal dose of LCMV-WE survived without developing disease signs.

Project description:Cytolytic activity by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) is a powerful tactic in the elimination of intracellular pathogens and tumor cells. The destructive capacity of CTL is progressively dampened during chronic infection - yet the environmental cues and molecular pathways controlling immune “exhaustion” remain unclear. We find CTL immunity is regulated by the central transcriptional response to hypoxia, mediated by the von-Hippel-Lindau/Hypoxia-Inducible-Factor (VHL/HIF) pathway. Deletion of VHL, the primary negative regulator of HIF, leads to lethal CTL-mediated immunopathology during chronic infection, and VHL-deficient CTL display enhanced control of persistent viral infection and neoplastic growth. We find HIF and oxygen influence expression of pivotal CTL transcription, effector and costimulatory-inhibitory molecules, which is relevant to strategies to promote viral and tumor clearance. To understand the role of the VHL/HIF pathway in regulating T cell responses to acute and persistant antigen in vivo, a mixture of ~10^4 WT and Vhl KO virus-specific CD8+ T cells (P14s) was transferred iv into uninfected WT host mice. After infection with either LCMV-Armstrong (acute viral infection) or LCMV-clone13 (persistent viral infection) we double-FACS isolated the responding P14 donor cells from pooled spleens from two sets of host mice to obtain duplicates for microarray for the four conditions, resulting in eight samples (2 WT Arm, 2 VHL KO Arm; 2 WT cl13, 2 VHL KO cl13) at 6 to 7 days post-infection. All conditions were sorted on KRLG1lo P14 cells. Note this was a mixed P14 transfer, so WT and KO cells were responding to infection in the same WT host mice to aid in normalizing effects such as antigen load and cytokine environment.

Project description:IL-17-producing cells are important mediators of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Here we demonstrate that a distinct CD8+ Tc17 population develops rapidly after SCT but fails to maintain lineage fidelity such that they are unrecognizable in the absence of a fate reporter. Tc17 differentiation is dependent on alloantigen presentation by host-DC together with IL-6. Tc17 cells express high levels of multiple prototypic lineage-defining transcription factors (e.g. RORgt, T-bet) and cytokines (e.g. IL-17A, IL-22, IFNg, GM-CSF, IL-13). Targeted depletion of Tc17 early after transplant protects from lethal acute GVHD, however Tc17 cells are non-cytolytic and fail to mediate graft–versus–leukemia (GVL) effects. Thus, the Tc17 differentiation program during GVHD culminates in a highly plastic, hyper-inflammatory, poorly-cytolytic effector population which we term inflammatory Tc17 (iTc17). Since iTc17 mediate GVHD without contributing to GVL, therapeutic inhibition of iTc17 development in a clinical setting represents an attractive approach for separating GVHD and GVL.

Project description:Several RNA viruses can establish life-long persistent infection in mammalian hosts, but the fate of individual virus-infected cells remains undefined. Here we used Cre recombinase-encoding lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to establish persistent infection in fluorescent cell fate reporter mice. Virus-infected hepatocytes underwent spontaneous noncytolytic viral clearance independently of type I or type II interferon signaling or adaptive immunity. Viral clearance was accompanied by persistent transcriptomic footprints related to proliferation and extracellular matrix remodeling, immune responses, and metabolism. Substantial overlap with persistent epigenetic alterations in HCV-cured patients suggested a universal RNA virus-induced transcriptomic footprint. Cell-intrinsic clearance occurred in cell culture, too, with sequential infection, reinfection cycles separated by a period of relative refractoriness to infection. Our study reveals that systemic persistence of a prototypic noncytolytic RNA virus depends on continuous spread and reinfection. Yet undefined cell-intrinsic mechanisms prevent viral persistence at the single-cell level but give way to profound transcriptomic alterations in virus-cleared cells.

Project description:LCMV Clone 13 is an arenavirus that results in a persistent viral infection in mice when delivered intravenously. It has been widely used to explore the impact of chronic viral infection on CD4 T cell responses and dissect mechanisms that regulate this. In this study we used mixed bone marrow chimeras from wildtype and cytokine reeptor deficient (gp130 or IL-6/IL-27R) mice to determine the role these cytokines on splenic CD4 T cell responses 30 days post infection
