The transcription factor IRF2 drives interferon-mediated CD8+ T cell exhaustion to restrict anti-tumor immunity

ABSTRACT: Type I Interferons (IFN-I) stimulate pro-inflammatory programs critical for immune activation, but also induce immune-suppressive feedback circuits that contribute to the failure of cancer control. Yet, how IFN-Is differentially induce these opposing programs remains enigmatic. We establish that the transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 2 (IRF2) is a central feedback molecule attenuating IFN signaling and driving CD8 T cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment. IRF2 inhibits CD8 T cell effector function in response to sustained interferon signaling by programming T cell exhaustion. Lineage-specific deletion of IRF2 limits CD8 T cells exhaustion to maintain effector functions, thereby enabling long-term tumor control, and increased responsiveness to immune-checkpoint and adoptive cell therapies. Long-term tumor control by IRF2-deficient CD8 T cells is dependent on continuous integration of both IFN-I and IFN? signals, which in the absence of IRF2, potentiate sustained effector function instead of exhaustion. Thus, IRF2 redirects IFN signalling to drive T cell exhaustion and prevent tumor control.

Chronic Type I interferons signaling promotes lipid peroxidation-driven terminal CD8+T cell exhaustion and curtails anti-PD-1 treatment efficacy

Project description:Identifying signals that govern the differentiation of tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T cells (CD8 + TILs) towards exhaustion can improve current therapeutic approaches for cancer. Here, we show that type I interferons (IFN-Is) act as environmental cues enhancing terminal CD8 + T cell exhaustion in tumors. We found enrichment of IFNIs-stimulated genes (ISGs) within exhausted CD8 + T cells (Tex cells) in patients across various cancer types, with heightened ISG levels correlating with poor response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. In preclinical models, CD8 + TILs devoid of IFN-Is signaling developed less exhaustion features, provided better tumor control and showed greater response to ICB-mediated rejuvenation. Mechanistically, chronic IFN-Is stimulation perturbed lipid metabolism and redox balance in Tex cells, leading to aberrant lipid accumulation and elevated oxidative stress. Collectively, these defects promoted lipid peroxidation, which potentiated metabolic and functional exhaustion of Tex cells. Thus, cell intrinsic IFN-Is signaling regulates the extent of CD8+ TIL exhaustion, and has important implications for immunotherapy.

Tumor-resident memory-like CD8 T cells represent an essential cellular target for cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Persistent exposure to high levels of antigen results in the progressive exhaustion of T cells and has been thought to preclude the formation of memory. In contrast to the latter assumption, we show here that tumor-specific CD8 T cells residing in the tumor microenvironment include a Tcf1 expressing sub population that has key characteristics of central memory cells, lack an effector cell signature but display hallmarks of exhausted T cells, including the expression co-inhibitory receptors such as PD1. Similar memory-like cells are identified in melanoma patients. Preclinical mouse models reveal that the expansion of tumor-specific CD8 T cells, the production of terminally differentiated exhausted CD8 T cells and sustained tumor control in response to therapeutic vaccination or immune checkpoint blockade critically depends on the presence of these memory-like CD8 T cells. Tumor immune responses thus harbor tumor resident memory-like CD8 T cell populations, which can be therapeutically targeted to improve immune control of cancer.

Direct regulation of T cell exhaustion by NFAT [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:During persistent antigen stimulation, CD8+ cytolytic T cells (CTL) show a gradual decrease in effector function, or “exhaustion”, which impairs the immune response to tumors and infections. Here we show that NFAT, a transcription factor with an established role in T cell activation, in parallel controls a second transcriptional program conferring the characteristic features of CD8+ T cell exhaustion, including upregulation of genes encoding inhibitory cell surface receptors and diminished TCR signaling. Expression of an engineered NFAT1, which induces this negative regulatory program in the absence of the effector program, interferes with the ability of CD8+ T cells to protect against Listeria infection or attenuate tumor growth in vivo. NFAT elicits this second program of gene expression in large part by binding to a subset of the sites occupied by NFAT during a typical effector response, suggesting that a balance between the two pathways determines the outcome of TCR signaling.

scRNA-seq of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from tumor draining LN, TIL and PBMC of melanoma bearing mice

Project description:CD8+ T cell-mediated immune response plays a pivotal role in controlling tumor growth.However, within the tumor microenvironment (TME), prolonged antigen exposure, as well as immunosuppressive factors, drive infiltrated tumor-specific CD8+ T cells into a hyporesponsive state known as “exhaustion”. These Tex cells are mainly characterized by the sustained and elevated expression of a series of inhibitory receptors as well as the hierarchical loss of effector functions. Further, the impaired proliferative capacity of exhausted CD8+ T cells results in decreasing numbers of tumor-specific T cells, such that the residual CD8+ T cells within the TME can barely provide sufficient protective immunity against tumor progression. Thus, the maintenance or reinforcement of intratumoral antigen-specific CD8+ T cells is indispensable for tumor repression. Here, we profiled the transcriptional signatures of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from tumor draining LN, TIL and PBMC of melanoma bearing mice at single-cell level, aiming to draw a comprehensive immune-atlas of tumor-specific CD8 T cells during tumorigenesis.

Spatiotemporal co-dependency between macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells (RNA-Seq)

Project description:T cell exhaustion is a major impediment to anti-tumor immunity. However, it remains elusive how other immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute to this dysfunctional state. Here we show that the biology of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and exhausted T cells (Tex) in the TME is extensively linked. We demonstrate that in vivo depletion of TAM reduces exhaustion programs in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells and reinvigorates their effector potential. Reciprocally, transcriptional and epigenetic profiling reveals that Tex express factors that actively recruit monocytes to the TME and shape their differentiation. Using lattice light sheet microscopy, we show that TAM and CD8+ T cells engage in unique long-lasting antigen-specific synaptic interactions that fail to activate T cells, but prime them for exhaustion, which is then accelerated in hypoxic conditions. Spatially resolved sequencing supports a spatiotemporal self-enforcing positive feedback circuit that is aligned to protect rather than destroy a tumor.
