Transcriptional profiling of human KIR+ and KIR- CD8 T cells by bulk RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Previous reports show that Ly49+CD8+ T cells can suppress autoimmunity in mouse models of autoimmune diseases. Here we find a markedly increased frequency of CD8+ T cells expressing inhibitory Killer cell Immunoglobulin like Receptors (KIR), the human equivalents of the Ly49 family, in the blood and inflamed tissues of various human autoimmune diseases. Moreover, KIR+CD8+ T cells can efficiently eliminate pathogenic gliadin-specific CD4+ T cells from Celiac disease (CeD) patients’ leukocytes in vitro. Furthermore, we observe elevated levels of KIR+CD8+ T cells, but not CD4+ regulatory T cells, in COVID-19 and influenza-infected patients, and correlate with disease severity and vasculitis in COVID-19. Expanded KIR+CD8+ T cells from these different diseases display shared phenotypes and similar T cell receptor sequences. These results characterize a regulatory CD8+ T cell subset in humans, broadly active in both autoimmune and infectious diseases, which we hypothesize functions to control self-reactive or otherwise pathogenic T cells.

Regulatory KIR+RA+ T cells accumulate with age and are highly activated during viral respiratory disease

Project description:Severe respiratory viral infectious diseases such as influenza and COVID- 19 espe-cially affect the older population. This is partly ascribed to diminished CD8+ T- cell re-sponses a result of aging. The phenotypical diversity of the CD8+ T- cell population has made it difficult to identify the impact of aging on CD8+ T- cell subsets associated with diminished CD8+ T- cell responses. Here we identify a novel human CD8+ T- cell subset characterized by expression of Killer- cell Immunoglobulin-l ike Receptors (KIR+) and CD45RA (RA+). These KIR+RA+ T cells accumulated with age in the blood of healthy individuals (20– 82 years of age, n = 50), expressed high levels of aging- related mark-ers of T- cell regulation, and were functionally capable of suppressing proliferation of other CD8+ T cells. Moreover, KIR+RA+ T cells were a major T- cell subset becoming activated in older adults suffering from an acute respiratory viral infection (n = 36), including coronavirus and influenza virus infection. In addition, older adults with influ-enza A infection showed that higher activation status of their KIR+RA+ T cells associ-ated with longer duration of respiratory symptoms. Together, our data indicate that KIR+RA+ T cells are a unique human T- cell subset with regulatory properties that may explain susceptibility to viral respiratory disease at old age.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human KIR+ CD8 T cells by Smart-seq2

Project description:KIR+ CD8 T cells (Live CD3+CD56-TCRab+CD8+KIR+ cells) were sorted from the blood of healthy subjects (N=10) and patients with MS (N=2), SLE (N=6), or CeD (N=5) and subjected to single-cell RNA-seq analysis by Smart-seq2. In parallel, we also analyzed their T-cell receptor (TCR) α and β sequences. Unsupervised clustering of these KIR+CD8+ T cells by Seurat identified six clusters, with Clusters 1 to 3 mostly containing expanded KIR+CD8+ T cells (≥2 cells expressing same TCR) and Clusters 5 and 6 consisting of unexpanded cells expressing unique TCRs. There are common features shared by KIR+CD8+ T cells from healthy subjects and different diseases, yet there is also heterogeneity (i.e., upregulated type I IFN signaling and glycolysis in Clusters 2 and 3) associated with different diseases or treatments.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of blood T cells from healthy controls, MS patients and COVID-19 patients by 10X genomics

Project description:In order to better understand the functional properties of this type of cells under different circumstances, we integrated the single-cell RNA-seq data of peripheral blood CD8+ T cells from healthy subjects, MS patients and COVID-19 patients generated from the 10X Genomics platform using the Seurat package. KIR+CD8+ T cells from different conditions (healthy, MS, and COVID-19) formed a distinct cluster with high expression of effector genes (GZMB and PRF1) as well as KIR transcripts. These findings reveal the commonality of KIR+CD8+ T cells across physiological and diseased status as well as their uniqueness relative to other CD8+ T cells.

KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations in humans

Project description:We studied the heterogeneity among human KIR/NKG2A+CD8+ T cells. First, we found that KIRs and NKG2A are expressed on human CD8+ T cells in a mutually exclusive manner. Therefore, we compared KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells in regards to TCR overlap and transcriptomic profiles and demonstrated that KIR+CD8+ and NKG2A+CD8+ T cells are distinct innate-like populations.

Total RNA sequencing of KIR+ and KIR- NK cells from patients experiencing or not a Cytomegalovirus reactivation after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Project description:AIM: To investigate the adaptive properties of NK cells, by comparing the expression profiles of FACS-sorted KIR+ (CD158b1b2j) and KIR- NK cells from patients experiencing or not a Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reactivation after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (h-HSCT). RESULTS: Our flow cytometry data demonstrate that KIR+ NK cells are expanded in h-HSCT patients upon HCMV reactivation, thus suggesting that these cells could be important in controlling the viral infection and could be endowed with adaptive features. By comparing the expression profiles of KIR+ and KIR- NK cells from reacivated patients, we demonstrated a cytokine receptor unbalance, a prevalence of pathways associated to mitochondrial respiration and consequent ATP synthesis, a downregulation of genes involved in epigenetic reprogramming, all properties attributable adaptive NK cells. By comparing the molecular fingerprint of KIR+ NK cells between patients experiencing a HCMV reactivation and not reactivated patients, we observed in reactivated group an upregulation of INFG expression and in genes involved in Signaling receptor activity and MHC class II antigen presentation , thus strengthens the hypothesis that our KIR+ NK cells in reactevated h-HSCT patients are able to produce IFN-γ driving specific responses upon re-stimulation. However, the enrichment in PD-1 signaling, let us speculate that KIR+ NK cells from reactivated h-HSCT patients have impaired effector-functions.

KIR gene content imputation from single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the Finnish population

Project description:The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene cluster on chromosome 19 encodes cell surface glycoproteins that bind class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules as well as some other ligands. KIR gene gene copy number variation associates with the outcome of transplantations and susceptibility to immune-mediated diseases. Here we describe a stand-alone and freely available gene content imputation for 12 KIR genes. The models were trained using 818 Finnish biobank samples genotyped for 5774 KIR-region SNPs and analysed for KIR gene content with targeted sequencing.
