Therapeutic activation of virus-specific resident memory T cells within glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is among the most aggressive, treatment resistant cancers, and despite standard of care surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, is invariably fatal. GBM is marked by local and systemic immunosuppression, contributing to resistance to existing immunotherapies that have had success in other tumor types. Memory T cells specific for previous infections reside in tissues throughout the host and these tissue resident memory T cells (TRM) are capable of rapid and potent immune activation. Here, we show that virus-specific memory CD8+ T cells expressing tissue resident markers populate the mouse and human glioblastoma microenvironment. Reactivating virus-specific TRM through intra-tumoral delivery of adjuvant-free virus-derived peptide triggered local immune activation. This delivery translated to anti-neoplastic effects, which improved survival in a murine glioblastoma model. Our results indicate that virus-specific TRM are a significant part of the glioblastoma immune microenvironment and may be leveraged to promote anti-tumoral immunity

Molecular signature of brain resident memory CD8+ T cells

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

Single-cell sequencing of tissue-resident CD4+ T cells that drive compartmentalized immunopathology in the CNS

Project description:In chronic inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), immune cells persisting behind the blood-brain barrier are supposed to promulgate local tissue destruction. The drivers of such compartmentalized inflammation remain unclear, but tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) represent a potentially important cellular player in this process

Ex Vivo Expansion and Hydrogel-Mediated In Vivo Delivery of Tissue Resident Memory T Cells for Immunotherapy

Project description:Tissue-resident memory (TRM) T cells preferentially reside in peripheral tissues, serving as key players in tumor immunity and immunotherapy. Currently, the lack of effective approaches for expanding TRM cells and delivering these cells in vivo hinder the exploration of TRM cell-mediated cancer immunotherapy. Here, we report a nanoparticle artificial antigen-presenting cell (nano-aAPC) ex vivo expansion approach and an in vivo delivery system for TRM cells. Using the nano-aAPC platform, we expanded functional antigen-specific murine and human TRM-like CD8+ T cells ex vivo. We also developed an injectable macroporous hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel for delivery of TRM-like cells. TRM-like cells delivered in the optimized HA hydrogel trigger robust local and systemic antitumor immunity and show synergistic effect with anti-PD1 treatment. Our findings suggest that nano-aAPC-induced TRM-like cells, coupled with a hydrogel delivery system, offer an efficient way to advance the understanding of TRM cells-mediated cancer therapy.

Dendritic cells maintain anti-tumor immunity by positioning CD8 resident memory T cells in the skin through the CXCL16-CXCR6 axis

Project description:Tissue-resident memory (TRM) T cells are emerging as critical components of the immune response to cancer; yet, requirements for their ongoing function and maintenance remain unclear. Antigen presenting cells (APC) promote TRM cell differentiation and re-activation but have not been implicated in sustaining TRM cell responses. Here, we identified a novel role for dendritic cells in supporting tissue resident memory to melanoma. We showed that CD8 TRM cells remain in close proximity to dendritic cells in the skin. Depletion of CD11c+ cells results in rapid disaggregation and eventual loss of melanoma-specific TRM cells. Additionally, we determined that TRM migration and/or persistence requires chemotaxis and adhesion mediated by the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis. The interaction between CXCR6-expressing TRM cells and CXCL16-expressing APCs was found to be critical for sustaining TRM cell-mediated tumor protection. These findings substantially expand our knowledge of APC functions in tissue resident memory T cell homeostasis and longevity.

Skin Resident Memory CD4+ T Cells Enhance Protection Against Leishmania Major Infection

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.

RNA-Seq of Bcl6-KO CD4+ T cell subsets during LCMV infection

Project description:Following an infection, CD4+ lymphocytes can differentiate into long-lived memory T cells, some of which circulate through the secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) while a population lodges in non-lymphoid tissues. While CD4+ T cells in SLOs have been examined, the developmental origins and transcriptional regulation of tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) remain largely undefined. Here, we investigated the phenotypic, functional, and transcriptional profile of virus-specific CD4+ TRM in the small intestine (SI) following acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. LCMV-specific CD4+ TRM at day 7 of infection shared a gene-expression program and chromatin profile with TH1 cells and progressively acquired a mature TRM program by day 21 memory time point, supporting a developmental relationship between TRM and TH1 subsets. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TRM cells expressed genes associated with both effector and memory T cell fates, including the transcriptional regulators Blimp1, Id2, and Bcl6 which were necessary for CD4+ TRM differentiation. TH1-associated Blimp1 and Id2 were both required for early TRM formation, while TFH-associated Bcl6 initially inhibited TRM differentiation but was critical for development of long-lived TRM cells. Our results identify new significance for TFs previously associated with circulating CD4+ T cell populations and their roles in driving SI CD4+ TRM differentiation.
