Project description:We used genetic approaches to identify butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1) as the molecule that binds and presents phosphorylated antigens to Vγ9Vδ2 TCR–expressing cells. BTN3A1 represents a novel antigen–presenting molecule for the activation of Vγ9Vδ2 TCR–expressing cells which play important roles in human tumor immunity and host defense.

Project description:Gamma-delta T cells are potent anti-cancer effectors with the potential to target tumours broadly, independent of patient-specific neoantigens or HLA background. Gamma-delta T cells can sense conserved cell stress signals prevalent in transformed cells, although the mechanisms behind the targeting of stressed target cells remain poorly characterized. Vg9Vd2 T cells – the most abundant subset of human gamma-delta T cells – recognize a protein complex containing butyrophilin 2A1 (BTN2A1) and BTN3A1, a widely expressed cell surface protein that is activated by phosphoantigens abundantly produced by tumour cells. Here, we layered genome-wide CRISPR screens in target cancer cells to identify pathways that regulate: (1) killing by gamma-delta T cells during co-culture, and (2) BTN3A cell surface expression. In addition to confirming the importance of the phosphoantigen-producing mevalonate pathway, the screens revealed previously unappreciated multilayered regulation of BTN3A abundance on the cell surface and triggering of gamma-delta T cells through transcription, post-translational modifications, membrane trafficking. Notably, IRF1 and ZNF217 were discovered to be positive and negative transcriptional regulators that directly occupy the promoters of BTN3A1/2/3 genes. In addition, diverse genetic perturbations and inhibitors disrupting metabolic pathways in the cancer cells, particularly ATP-producing processes, were found to alter BTN3A levels. This induction of BTN3A, as well as BTN2A1, during metabolic crises was dependent on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Finally, small molecule activation of AMPK in a cell line model and in patient-derived tumour organoids led to increased expression of the BTN2A1-BTN3A complex and increased Vg9Vd2 TCR-mediated killing. This AMPK-dependent mechanism of metabolic stress-induced ligand upregulation deepens our understanding of gamma-delta T cell stress surveillance and suggests new avenues to enhance gamma-delta T cell anti-cancer activity.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-gamma is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-gamma-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-gamma was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis lesions. To determine if IFN-gamma indeed induces the pathways leading to the development of psoriasis lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-gamma induced molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriasis lesions. IFN-gamma increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products TNF, iNOS, IL-23, and TRAIL were present in IFN-gamma-treated skin. Thus, IFN-gamma, which is significantly elevated in non-lesional skin compared to healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis. RNA was isolated from whole skin punch biopsies of either healthy or non-lesional psoraisis patients at baseline or 24 hours after placebo or IFN-g injection.

Project description:Macrophages are known to be polarized into inflammatory (M1) and immunoregulatory (M2) cells when they are stimulated by agonists such as IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively. If circulating monocytes may be polarized in response to T cell signals is often misguidedly deduced from macrophage results. Here the transcriptional responses of human CD14+ monocytes to IFN-gamma and IL-4 were analyzed using whole genome microarrays. A principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering showed that monocyte and macrophage responses were distinct. Monocytes stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 6 hours exhibited some features of macrophage polarization. Indeed, when 80 genes considered as M1 and M2 genes were analyzed, we found that M1 genes were modulated in response to IFN-gamma and that M2 genes were modulated in response to IL-4. The M1 polarization of monocytes was transient because only M2 genes were modulated when monocytes were stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 18 hours. However, the activation of monocytes by IFN-gamma and IL-4 could not be reduced to M1/M2 polarization status. Indeed, monocytes exhibited early specific signatures composed of 46 and 39 up-regulated genes in response to IFN-gamma and IL-4, respectively, and a late signature common to both molecules that consisted of 57 up-regulated genes. Taken together, these results demonstrated the extreme plasticity of human monocytes and suggested the existence of a core transcriptional termination program. Using early and late signatures might be pertinent to investigate monocyte activation in inflammatory or infectious diseases. Monocytes were stimulated with IFN-gamma (20ng/mL) or IL-4 (20ng/mL) for 6 and 18 hours or culture for 6 and 18 hours without agonist (Unstimulated samples). Monocytes-derived-macrophages (MDM) stimulated with IFN-gamma and IL-4 for 18 hours were used as controls. Each microarray is derived from a single biological sample.

Project description:A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory cytokines have a dualistic role in immunity. In this study, we sought to determine the direct effects IFN-gamma on the differentiation and maturation of human peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). Here, we report that following differentiation of human peripheral-blood monocytes into moDCs with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induces moDC maturation and up-regulates the co-stimulatory markers CD80, CD86, CD95, and MHC Class I, enabling moDCs to effectively generate antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses for multiple viral and tumor antigens. Interestingly, early exposure of monocytes to high concentrations of IFN-gamma promotes monocyte differentiation into macrophages, despite the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. However, under low concentrations of IFN-gamma, monocytes continue to differentiate into dendritic cells possessing a unique gene-expression profile, resulting in impairments in subsequent maturation by IFN-gamma and an inability to generate effective antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses compared to standard moDCs. Monocytes differentiated in the presence of low levels of IFN-gamma downregulate IFN-gamma receptor expression, impairing their response to an inflammatory rechallenge. These findings demonstrate the ability of IFN-gamma to impart differential programs on human moDCs which shape the antigen-specific T cell responses they induce. Timing and intensity of exposure to IFN-gamma can thus determine whether moDCs are tolerogenic or immunostimulating. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells from 4 healthy donors were differentiated with either GM-CSF and IL-4 (n=4) or GM-CSF, IL-4, and IFN-gamma (n=4). These samples were subsequently hybridized to arrays as 4 biological repeats for each of the two treatment conditions.
