Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals intrahepatic immune characteristics related to disease status in HBV-infected patients

ABSTRACT: Objective: A comprehensive view of the intrahepatic immune responses to HBV infection at the single-cell resolution is pivotal to HBV cure. Design We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of 243,000 cells from 46 paired liver and blood samples of 23 individuals, including 6 immune tolerant (IT), 5 immune active (IA), 3 acute resolved (AR), 3 chronic resolved (CR), and 6 HBV-free healthy controls (HC). Results Both IA and AR were characterized by high levels of intrahepatic exhausted CD8+ T (Tex) cells, which were absent or rarely found in HC, CR, and IT. In IA, Tex cells were mainly derived from liver-resident GZMK+ effector memory T cells and self-expansion. By contrast, peripheral CX3CR1+ effector T cells and GZMK+ effector memory T cells were the main source of Tex cells in AR. In IA but not AR, significant interactions were observed between Tex cells and regulatory CD4+ T cells together with FCGR3A+ macrophages, of which HLA-B and HLA-I together with their receptors CANX and LILR, respectively, may constitute the main axes mediating such cellular interactions. Clinically, intrahepatic Tex cells were positively correlated with serum ALT levels and histological grading scores. By contrast, CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells were clonally expanded in both liver and blood of AR and showed high consistency, providing a valid surrogate marker candidate for predicting HBV clearance. Conclusion: Our study dissects the coordinated immune response in relation to disease status and provides a rich resource for understanding immunopathogenesis and developing effective therapeutic strategies for chronic hepatitis B.

The core cellular network modulates immune phenotype switching in hepatitis B

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a leading cause of liver-related diseases and mortality. However, immune mechanisms governing the phases of HBV infection remain elusive. Understanding molecular components in hepatitis immunosuppression and progression is essential for developing immunotherapies for functional cure of chronic HBV infection. Our integrative analysis of intrahepatic tissue and peripheral PBMC samples from patients with acute and chronic HBV infection using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and TCR/BCR sequencing (scTCR/BCR-seq) revealed three distinct lineages of PBMC-derived intrahepatic T lymphocytes (hpCTLs): exhausted GZMK+PDCD1+, short-lived effector KLRG1+, and inactivated GZMB+PRF1+ hpCTLs. Key factors such as FasL/Fas-mediated cytotoxicity, CD28 co-stimulation, and exhaustion status were identified as determinants of hpCTL functionality. Liver-resident DC-SIGN+ macrophages were found to act as antigen-presenting cells that cross-prime hpCTLs in response to IL-2 or as suppressive macrophages by inhibiting T cell immunity through IL-10 and PD-L1 production and Treg recruitment. The intrahepatic core cellular network, including DC-SIGN+ macrophages, CSF1+ST2+ mast cells, AREG+ liver-resident NK cells, CD14+ hepatocytes, and CXCL13+ TFH, was observed to modulate immune tolerance, activation, and suppression in HBV infection. This study inferred the core cellular network involved in immune phenotype switching across different hepatitis B phases and suggested potential immunomodulatory strategies for treating chronic HBV infection.

CX3CR1/Fractalkine receptor expression separates memory CD8+ T cells with distinct functional profiles (expression)

Project description:Memory T cells are important for protective immunity against infectious microorganisms. Such protection is achieved by cooperative action of memory T cell populations that differ in their tissue localization and functionality. We report on the identification of the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 as marker for stratification of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function from those with proliferative function in both, mice and man. Based on CX3CR1 and CD62L expression levels four distinct memory T cell populations can be distinguished based on their functional properties. Transcriptome and proteome profiling revealed that CX3CR1 expression was superior to CD62L to resolve memory T cell functionality and allowed determination of a core signature of memory T cells with cytotoxic effector function. This identifies a CD62Lhi CX3CR1+ memory T cell population with an identical gene signature to CD62LlowCX3CR1+ effector memory T cells. In lymph nodes, this so far unrecognized CD62LhiCX3CR1+ T cell population shows a distinct migration pattern and anatomic positioning compared to CD62LhiCX3CR1neg TCM. Furthermore, CX3CR1+ memory T cells were scarce or absent during chronic HBV, HCV and HIV infection in man and chronic LCMV infection in mice confirming the value of CX3CR1+ in understanding principles of protective immune memory. CD8+ T cells were isolated and directly assessed or incubated with DC or LSEC. After harvesting, cells were immediately lysed in Trizol (Invitrogen) before storage at -80Â°C for RNA isolation.

The pseudokinase Trib1 regulates the transition of exhausted T cells to a KLR+ CD8+ effector state and its deletion improves checkpoint blockade

Project description:CD8+ T cell exhaustion (TEX) impairs the ability of T cells to clear chronic infection or cancer. While TEX are hypofunctional, some TEX retain effector gene signatures, a feature that is associated with expression of KLRs (killer lectin-like receptors). Although KLR+ TEX may improve control of chronic antigen, the signaling molecules regulating this population are poorly understood. Using scRNA-seq, flow cytometry, RNA velocity, and scTCR-seq, we demonstrated that deleting the pseudokinase Trib1 shifted TEX towards CX3CR1+ intermediates (TINT) with robust enrichment of KLR+ TEX (TKLR) via clonal T cell expansion. Adoptive transfer studies demonstrate this shift towards a CD8+ TKLR in Trib1 deficient cells is CD8-intrinsic, while CD4-depletion studies demonstrate that CD4+ T cells are required for optimal viral control in Trib1 conditional knockout mice. Further, Trib1 loss augmented anti-PD-L1 blockade to improve viral clearance. These data identify Trib1 as an important regulator of CD8+ TEX whose targeting enhances the TKLR effector state and improves checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Restoration of type I interferon signaling in intrahepatically primed CD8+ T cells promotes functional differentiation

Project description:Hepatitis B virus-specific (HBV-specific) CD8+ T cells fail to acquire effector functions after priming in the liver, but the molecular basis for the dysfunction is poorly understood. By comparing the gene expression profile of intrahepatically primed, dysfunctional HBV-specific CD8+ T cells with that of systemically primed, functional effector counterparts, we found that the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) is selectively suppressed in the dysfunctional CD8+ T cells. The ISG suppression was associated with impaired phosphorylation of STAT1 in response to IFN-α treatment. Importantly, a strong induction of type I interferons (IFN-Is) in the liver facilitated the functional differentiation of intrahepatically primed HBV-specific CD8+ T cells in association with the restoration of ISGs' expression in the T cells. These results suggest that intrahepatic priming suppresses IFN-I signaling in CD8+ T cells, which may contribute to the dysfunction. The data also suggest a therapeutic value of the robust induction of intrahepatic IFN-Is for the treatment of chronic HBV infection.

MHC Class Ib-restricted CD8+ T Cells Possess Strong Tumoricidal Activities

Project description:The tumoricidal effects of CD8+T cells are well acknowledged, but how MHC Ib-restricted CD8+T (Ib-CD8+T) cells contribute to anti-tumor immunity remains obscure. Here, we show that infusion of MHC Ia+ cells to Kb-/-Db-/- mice induced the expansion of Ib-CD8+T cells in tumors and potently inhibited tumor progression. Such priming of Ib-CD8+T cells by MHC-Ia is not MHC haplotype restricted and MHC Ia tetramers alone can prime Ib-CD8+T cells for activation. The MHC Ia priming promoted Tbet expression in Ib-CD8+T cells and in absence of Tbet, such priming effect diminished. Importantly, these tumoricidal Ib-CD8+T cells are positive for CX3CR1, and exhibit rapid proliferation, high expression of cytotoxic factors, and prolonged persistence at tumor sites. Adoptive transfer of CX3CR1+Ib-CD8+T cells to wild type mice resulted in potent anti-tumor effects. Our findings unravel an uncharacterized function of MHC Ia molecules in immunoregulation and raise the possibility of using Ib-CD8+T cells in tumor immunotherapy.

Reduced CD8 T cell exhaustion in DR4 risk subjects is selectively augmented with therapy [CD8s]

Project description:Exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX) are associated with worse outcome in cancer yet better outcome in autoimmunity. However, factors contributing to reduced TEX in autoimmunity are poorly understood. We use two genetically related autoimmune diseases, type 1 diabetes (T1D) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to explore these factors. We identify a common human peripheral blood TIGIT+KLRG1+ CD8 TEX population: TIGIT+KLRG1+ CD8 TEX of healthy controls (HC), T1D, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subjects share EOMES signature genes, are increased with age and in chronic viral-specific cells and are hyporesponsive in vitro. Consistent with a genetic determinant, TIGIT+KLRG1+ TEX are stable within but vary between individuals. In HC and RA subjects (n>100/cohort), lower levels of EOMES transcriptional modules and TIGIT+KLRG1+ TEX were associated with RA HLA risk alleles (DR0401, 0404, 0405, 0408, 1001) even when considering disease status and CMV seropositivity. TIGIT+KLRG1+ TEX significantly increased in RA HLA risk but not non-risk subjects treated with abatacept (CTLA4Ig); no change in TIGIT+KLRG1+ TEX was observed with adalimumab (anti-TNF) therapy. The DR4 association and selective modulation with abatacept suggests that therapeutic modulation of TEX may be more effective in DR4 subjects and TEX may be indirectly influenced by cellular interactions that are blocked by abatacept.
