Project description:Current cancer immunotherapies promote recovery of CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) population of the tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, not all treated patients exhibit improved anti-tumor immunity and survival, likely due to the immunophenotypical diversity among the CD103+ Trm TILs. Utilising multifaceted proteomics approaches and patients’ clinical analyses, we discovered an unusual subset of CD8+ Trm TILs expressing non-canonical integrin β3 early during T cells activation. The integrin β3 surprisingly heterodimerises with CD103 on T cells, leading to unconventional granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity, elevated alternative bioenergy usage and efficient T cell migration, with minimal overall exhaustion. Importantly, early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with enriched presence of integrin β3+CD103+ Trm TILs exhibited better clinical prognosis, with improved T cell immunophenotype, hence confirming the beneficial role of this unusual subset of Trm TILs. These unconventional anti-tumor T cell features provide new avenues and future opportunities for designing better translational immunotherapy strategies.

Project description:Tissue resident memory (Trm) represent a newly described memory T cell population. We have previously characterized a population of Trm that persists within the brain following acute virus infection. Although capable of providing marked protection against a subsequent local challenge, brain Trm do not undergo recall expansion following dissociation from the tissue. Furthermore, these Trm do not depend on the same survival factors as the circulating memory T cell pool as assessed either in vivo or in vitro. To gain greater insight into this population of cells we compared the gene-expression profiles of Trm isolated from the brain to circulating memory T cells isolated from the spleen following an acute virus infection. Trm displayed altered expression of genes involved in chemotaxis, expressed a distinct set of transcription factors and overexpressed several inhibitory receptors. Cumulatively, these data indicates that Trm are a distinct memory T cell population disconnected from the circulating memory T cell pool and displaying a unique molecular signature which likely results in optimal survival and function within their local environment. 13 samples were analyzed: 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+.CD103- T cells isolated from the spleen of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA. 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+CD103+ T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA; and 3 replicates of memory OT-I.CD8+ CD103- T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA

Project description:Resident memory CD8 T cells (Trm) have been shown to provide effective protective responses in the small intestine (SI) in mice. A better understanding of the generation and persistence of SI CD8 Trm cells in humans may have implications for intestinal immune-mediated diseases and vaccine development. Analyzing normal and transplanted human SI we demonstrated that the majority of SI CD8 T cells were bona fide CD8 Trm cells that survived for over 1 year in the graft. Intraepithelial and lamina propria CD8 Trm cells showed a high clonal overlap and a repertoire dominated by expanded clones, conserved both spatially in the intestine and over time. Functionally, lamina propria CD8 Trm cells were potent cytokine-producers, exhibiting a polyfunctional (IFN-γ+ IL-2+ TNF-α+) profile, and efficiently expressed cytotoxic mediators after stimulation. These results suggest that SI CD8 Trm cells could be relevant targets for future oral vaccines and therapeutic strategies for gut disorders.

Project description:Tissue resident memory cells (Trm) are a specialized subset of T cells residing persistently and long-term within specific tissues that contribute to persistent inflammation, tissue damage, and aberrant immune responses. Expansion of Trm in the salivary gland of primary Sjogren’s Syndrome (pSS) and its animal models suggests CD103 determines the tissue localization of Trm. We characterized phenotype and function of Trm and the role of CD103 in pSS.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are non-recirculating cells that exist throughout the body. While TRM in various organs rely on common transcriptional networks to establish tissue residency, location-specific factors adapt these cells to their tissue of lodgment. Here, we chart TRM heterogeneity between organs and find that the different environments in which these cells differentiate dictate TRM function, durability and malleability. We find that unequal responsiveness to TGF-β is a major driver of this diversity. Strikingly, dampened TGF-b signaling engendered CD103- TRM with increased proliferative potential, enhanced function, and reduced longevity compared to their TGF-β-responsive CD103+ TRM counterparts. Further, while CD103- TRM readily modified their phenotype upon relocation, CD103+ TRM were comparatively resistant to trans-differentiation. Thus, despite common requirements for TRM development, adaptation of these cells to their tissue of residence confers discrete functional properties such that TRM exist along a spectrum of differentiation potential that is governed by their local microenvironment.

Project description:A specialized population of memory CD8+ T-cells resides in the epithelium of the respiratory tract to maintain protection against recurring infections. These cells express CD69 and the integrin αβ7 (CD103) and correspond to tissue resident memory T-cells (TRM) also described in intestine, liver and brain. A less well characterized population of CD103- CD8+ T-cells also resides in lungs and expresses markers characteristic of effector memory T-cells (TEM). We determined the transcriptional profiles of these memory CD8+ T-cell subsets retrieved from human lung resection samples and compared these with corresponding T-cell populations from peripheral blood of the same individuals. Our results demonstrate that each of the populations exhibits a distinct transcriptional identity. We found that the lung environment has a major impact on gene expression profiles. Thus, transcriptomes from CD103+ and CD103- subsets from lungs are much more resemblant to one another than to those from CD103+ or CD103- memory CD8+ T-cells from blood. TRM express specific sets of chemokine receptors, in accordance with their unique migratory properties. Furthermore, these cells constitutively express cytokine and cytotoxic genes for immediate effector function and chemokines to attract auxiliary immune cells. At the same time, multiple genes encoding inhibitory regulators are also expressed. This suggests that rapid ability to unleash effector functions is counterbalanced by programmed restraint, a combination that may be critical in the exposed but delicate tissue of the lung. Comprehensive sets of transcription factors were identified that characterize the memory CD8+ populations in the lungs. Prominent among these were components of the Notch pathway. Using mice genetically lacking expression of the NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 receptors in T-cells, we demonstrated that Notch controls both the number of lung TRM as well as the function of lung TEM. Our data illustrate the adaptation of lung resident T-cells to the requirements of the respiratory epithelial environment. Defining the molecular imprinting of these cells is important for rational vaccine design and may help to improve the properties of T-cells for adoptive cellular therapy. Material was collected from a total of 6 subjects. Three patients underwent a lobectomy for a peripheral primary lung tumor and three received lung transplantation because of end-stage pulmonary disease (COPD). Lung mononuclear cells where isolated after digestion of the partial or complete human lung resection material. Paired peripheral blood mononuclear cells were also isolated. CD8+CD16-CD56- T-cells were sorted for expression of CD103 (ITGAE). Lung and blood derived CD103+ and CD103- T-cell fractions were directly lysed after FACS sorting or stimulated overnight with antiCD3/28 beads. Due to the low frequency of resting (non-stimulated) CD103+ T-cells in peripheral blood this subset was obtained from five non-related buffy coat donors. RNA was isolated from 36 sorted cell samples and hybridized on Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 microarrays. Eight microarray samples (including two samples from the buffy coat donors) were excluded after hybridization since their average signal was too low.

Project description:This study determined the genes that are differentially expressed when regulatory T cells (Tregs) were isolated from the lamina propria of the small and large intestine from mice with impaired IL-2Rβ signaling (designated Y3) or impaired IL-2Rβ signaling and lack of CD103 expression (designated Y3/CD103-/-) when compared to Tregs from WT mice. 204 unique annotated mRNAs were differentially expressed by ≥1.5 fold between these 3 groups (Fig. 6B). Very few mRNAs were uniquely up or down regulated in relationship to impaired IL-2Rβ signaling or the combination of impaired IL-2Rβ signaling and lack of CD103 expression. Thus, lack of CD103 does not obviously regulated signaling in Tregs in the gut mucosa and most differentially expressed genes were due to impaired IL_2Rβ signaling. Gene enrichment analysis of these differentially expressed genes identified 4 major enrichment groups (EG) are: EG1, Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway; EG2, regulation of lymphocyte activation and proliferation; EG3, regulation of cell death and the caspase pathway in apoptosis; and EG4, transcription. Mouse regulatory T cells (Tregs) cells were FACS purified based on expression of red fluorescent protein linked to the Foxp3 gene. These cells were obtained from the lamina propria of the small and large intestine from WT, Y3, and Y3/CD103-/- mice. Total RNA was prepared and processed to probe Affymetrix mouse Gene ST2.0 arrays.
