Project description:During acute infections, CD8+ T cells form various memory subpopulations to provide long-lasting protection against reinfection. Central memory (TCM), Effector memory (TEM), and long-lived effector (LLE) cells are circulating memory populations with distinct plasticity, migration patterns, and effector functions. Tissue-resident memory (TRM) cells permanently reside in the frontline sites of pathogen entry and provide tissue-specific protection upon reinfection. Here, using scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq, we examined the different and shared transcriptomes and regulators of TRMs with other circulating memory populations. Furthermore, we identified heterogeneity within the TRM pool from small intestine and novel transcriptional regulators that may control the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of TRM cells during acute infection. Our findings provide a resource for future studies to identify novel pathways for enhancing vaccination and immunotherapeutic approaches.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (Trm) provide host protection through continuous surveillance of non-lymphoid tissues. While the relevance of Trm in diverse diseases ranging from infection to cancer is appreciated, the development and functional heterogeneity of Trm remain poorly understood. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and genetic reporter mice, we identified discrete lineages of intestinal antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, including a Blimp1hiId3lo tissue-resident effector cell population most prominent in the early phase of acute viral and bacterial infections, and a molecularly distinct Blimp1loId3hi tissue-resident memory population that subsequently accumulated at later infection timepoints. These distinct Trm populations where characterized by unique transcriptional programs including differential roles for transcriptional regulators Blimp1, T-bet, Id2, and Id3 in supporting and maintaining intestinal Trm heterogeneity during infection. Extending our analysis to malignant tissue, we also identified discrete populations of effector-like and memory-like CD8+ T cell populations with tissue-resident gene-expression signatures within tumors that shared features of terminally-exhausted and progenitor-exhausted T cells, respectively. Clarification of CD8+ T cell ontogeny and heterogeneity in non-lymphoid tissues holds broad implications for enhancing vaccination and immunotherapy approaches.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) are a non-circulating subset of memory that are maintained at sites of pathogen entry and mediate optimal protection against reinfection. Lung TRM can be generated in response to respiratory infection or vaccination, however, the molecular pathways involved in CD4+TRM establishment have not been defined. Here, we performed transcriptional profiling of influenza-specific lung CD4+TRM following influenza infection to identify pathways implicated in CD4+TRM generation and homeostasis. Lung CD4+TRM displayed a unique transcriptional profile distinct from spleen memory, including up-regulation of a gene network induced by the transcription factor IRF4, a known regulator of effector T cell differentiation.

Project description:Leishmaniasis causes a significant disease burden worldwide. Although Leishmania-infected patients become refractory to reinfection following disease resolution, effective immune protection has not yet been achieved by human vaccines. While circulating Leishmania-specific T cells are known to play a critical role in immunity, the role of memory T cells present in peripheral tissues has not been explored. Here, we identify a population of skin-resident Leishmania-specific memory CD4+ T cells. These cells produce IFNγ, and remain resident in the skin when transplanted by skin graft onto naïve mice. They function to recruit circulating T cells to the skin in a CXCR3 dependent manner, resulting in better control of the parasites. Our findings are the first to demonstrate that CD4+ TRM cells form in response to a parasitic infection, and indicate that optimal protective immunity to Leishmania, and thus the success of a vaccine, may depend on generating both circulating and skin-resident memory T cells. Two conditions were analyzed. For each condition, four mice were used, resulting in eight samples in total.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) constitute a non-circulating memory T cell subset that provides early protection against re-infection. However, how TRM arise from antigen-triggered T cells has remained unclear. Exploiting the TRM-restricted expression of Hobit, we developed TRM reporter/deleter mice to study TRM differentiation. We found that Hobit was upregulated in a subset of LCMV-specific T cells located within peripheral tissues during the effector phase of the immune response. These Hobit+ effector T cells were identified as TRM precursors, given that their depletion substantially decreased TRM development, but not the formation of circulating memory T cells. Adoptive transfer experiments of Hobit+ effector T cells corroborated their biased contribution to the TRM lineage. Transcriptional profiling of Hobit+ effector T cells underlined the early establishment of TRM properties including downregulation of tissue exit receptors and upregulation of TRM-associated molecules. Importantly, we identified Eomes as a key factor instructing the early bifurcation of circulating and resident lineages. These findings establish that commitment of TRM occurs early in antigen-driven T cell differentiation and reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying this differentiation pathway.

Project description:Lung resident memory (Trm) CD8 T cells induced by influenza A virus (IAV), are pivotal for providing heterosubtypic immunity, but are not maintained long term, causing gradual loss of protection. This contrasts sharply with long-term maintenance of Trm induced by localized infections of the skin and other tissues. Here we show that the decline in lung Trm is determined by an imbalance between apoptosis and lung recruitment/conversion to Trm of circulating memory cells. At the cellular level, circulating effector memory (Tem) rather than central memory (Tcm) cells are the precursors for conversion to lung Trm. Time-dependent changes in expression of genes critical for Trm differentiation together with enrichment of Tcm diminish the capacity of circulating memory CD8 T cells to form Trm, explaining why IAV-induced Trm are not stably maintained over time. Importantly, systemic booster immunization, through increasing the number of circulating Tem cells, induces an increase in lung Trm pool, providing a new rational for future IAV vaccines.

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

While the relevance of Trm in diverse diseases ranging from infection to cancer is appreciated, the development and functional heterogeneity of Trm remain poorly understood. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and genetic reporter mice, we identified discrete lineages of intestinal antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, including a Blimp1hiId3lo tissue-resident effector cell population most prominent in the early phase of acute viral and bacterial infections, and a molecularly distinct Blimp1loId3hi tissue-resident memory population that subsequently accumulated at later infection timepoints. These distinct Trm populations where characterized by unique transcriptional programs including differential roles for transcriptional regulators Blimp1, T-bet, Id2, and Id3 in supporting and maintaining intestinal Trm heterogeneity during infection. Extending our analysis to malignant tissue, we also identified discrete populations of effector-like and memory-like CD8+ T cell populations with tissue-resident gene-expression signatures within tumors that shared features of terminally-exhausted and progenitor-exhausted T cells, respectively. Clarification of CD8+ T cell ontogeny and heterogeneity in non-lymphoid tissues holds broad implications for enhancing vaccination and immunotherapy approaches.
