Single-cell transcriptomics reveal a hyperacute cytokine and immune checkpoint axis after cardiac arrest in patients with poor neurological outcome

ABSTRACT: Neurological injury is a major driver for mortality among patients hospitalized after cardiac arrest (CA). The early systemic inflammatory response after CA is associated with neurological injury and mortality but remains poorly defined. We determine the innate immune network induced by clinical CA at single-cell resolution. Immune cell states diverge as early as 6h post-arrest between patients with good or poor neurological outcomes at hospital discharge. Nectin-2+ monocytes and Tim-3+ natural killer (NK) cell subpopulations associate with poor outcomes, and interactome analysis highlight their cross-talk via cytokines and immune checkpoints. Ex vivo studies on peripheral blood cells from CA patients demonstrate that immune checkpoints are a compensatory mechanism for the resolution of inflammation after CA. IFNγ/IL-10 induce Nectin-2 on monocytes; in a negative feedback loop, Nectin-2 suppresses IFNγ production by NK cells. The initial hours after CA may represent a window for therapeutic intervention in the resolution of inflammation via immune checkpoints.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveal hyperacute cytokine and immune checkpoint axis in patients with poor neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest [BRI]

Project description:Neurological injury is a major driver for mortality among patients hospitalized after cardiac arrest (CA). The early systemic inflammatory response after CA is associated with neurological injury and mortality but remains poorly defined.

Circular RNAs to predict clinical outcome after cardiac arrest

Project description:Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) represents the third leading cause of death worldwide. Among survivors, severe neurological sequelae are frequent but difficult to predict. Novel prognostic biomarkers would offer clinicians the possibility to deliver personalized healthcare. The potential of small circulating noncoding RNAs (microRNAs) to predict neurological outcome and survival after CA has been reported. Objective: This study aims to identify circulating circular RNAs (circRNAs) associated with clinical outcome after CA. Methods and Results: Methods and Results: Whole blood samples obtained 48h after return of spontaneous circulation from 23 sex-matched survivors and 23 deceased cardiac arrest (CA) patients were enrolled in this study. Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing identified candidate RNAs associated with neurological outcome and survival. Conclusion: We have identified candidate RNAs associated with clinical outcome after CA whose predictive value remains to be confirmed in large populations.

IFNγ mediates the resistance of tumor cells to distinct NK cell subsets.

Project description:Tumor resistance to immune cells remains a major obstacle for successful treatment. NK cells are emerging tools for cancer therapy. However, due to differential and subset-specific expression of inhibitory NK cell receptors, often only subsets of NK cells exert reactivity against particular cancer types. Using a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout (KO) screen in melanoma, we revealed resistance factors against NK cell attack and evaluated their differential impact on NK cell subpopulations. We show that melanoma cells deficient in antigen-presenting machinery or the IFNγ signaling pathway displayed enhanced sensitivity to NK cell killing. Treatment with IFNγ induced melanoma cell resistance that depended on B2M required for both classical and non-classical MHC-I expression. HLA-E mediated melanoma cell resistance to NKG2A+ KIR-, and partially to NKG2A+ KIR+ NK cells. Treatment of NK cells with the NKG2A blocking monalizumab resulted in enhanced NK cell reactivity to similar extent as deletion of HLA-E in melanoma cells. The combination of monalizumab with lirilumab, blocking KIR2 receptors, together with DX9, an anti-KIR3DL1 mAb, was required to restore the response of all NK cells against IFNγ-pretreated tumor cells of different origins. Our data reveal insights into NK cell subset reactivity and strategies how to leverage their full anti-tumor potential.

Transcriptomics of Chronic Active Antibody-Mediated Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts and Identification of Intragraft Overexpression of Natural Kill Cell Cytotoxicity Gene Set

Project description:The enigmatic natural killer (NK) cells mediate spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity via cell surface Fc receptors. The dual functionality of NK cells may enable their participation in chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (CA-ABMR), wherein evidence for complement activation is inconsistent. We RNA sequenced 57 human kidney allograft biopsies to determine whether NK cell cytotoxicity pathway gene set enrichment is an attribute of CA-ABMR. Among the 15,910 intragraft-expressed genes, 60 were uniquely overexpressed in CA-ABMR compared to active antibody-mediated rejection (active-ABMR) or acute T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), versus no rejection (NR) biopsies. Cell type annotation showed enrichment for T cells and NK cells, and molecular pathways related to T cells and NK cells in CA-ABMR versus active-ABMR biopsies. NK cell cytotoxicity gene set enrichment in CA-ABMR than in ABMR biopsies, but not in TCMR, was confirmed by gene set variation analysis. Cellular deconvolution analysis divulged a higher proportion of NK cells in CA-ABMR compared to active-ABMR, but not in TCMR; immunohistochemistry of 138 consecutive clinically indicated allograft biopsies validated a higher proportion of CD56+ NK cells in CA-ABMR. Principal component analysis of deconvolved immune cell transcriptomes separated CA-ABMR and TCMR from active-ABMR and NR biopsies. NK cell cytotoxicity pathway gene set was found to be enriched in rejection compared to no rejection biopsies in two publicly available kidney allograft microarray datasets. Altogether, CA-ABMR is exemplified by the overexpression of the NK cell pathway, and, surprisingly, compared to active-ABMR, is exemplified by key gene sets that are similar to TCMR.

Single cell analysis of diverse pathogen responses defines a molecular roadmap for generating antigen-specific immunity

Project description:The immune system generates pathogen-tailored responses. The precise innate immune cell types and pathways that direct robust adaptive immune responses have not been fully characterized. By using fluorescent pathogens combined with massively parallel single cell RNA-seq, we comprehensively characterized the initial 48 hours of the innate immune response to diverse pathogens. We found that across all pathogens tested, most of the lymph node cell types and states showed little pathogen-specificity. In contrast, the rare antigen-positive cells displayed pathogen-specific transcriptional programs as early as 24 hours after immunization. In addition, mycobacteria activated a specific NK driven IFNγ response. Depletion of NK cells and IFNγ showed that IFNγ initiated a monocyte specific signaling cascade, leading to production of major chemokines and cytokines that promote Th1 development. Our systems immunology approach sheds light on early events in innate immune responses and may help further development of safe and efficient vaccines.

Single-cell analysis reveals the stromal dynamics and tumor-specific characteristics in the microenvironment of ovarian cancer

Project description:We characterized high-grade ovarian serous carcinoma TIME based on integrative single-cell transcriptomics analysis of public and in-house datasets. We identified a distinct transcriptomic landscape of both immune and non-immune cells between the dense and more sparse stromal tumors. High stromal tumors contain a lower fraction of infiltrating activated CXCR3+ GRZB+ IFN+ IL2R+ CD8+ T and NCR3+ KLRD1+ natural killer (NK) cells and CXCL1+ macrophages. Next, we determined the potential interplays between non-immune and immune cells. High stromal tumors showed increased expression of CXCL12 in epithelial cancer cells and CA-MSCs. Cell-cell communication analyses suggested that epithelial cancer cells and CA-MSCs secreted CXCL12 interacts with the CXCR4 receptor on NK and CD8+ T cells. Using CXCL12 and/or CXCR4 neutralizing antibodies, we confirmed the immunosuppressive role of the CXCL12-CXCR4 axis in CA-MSC-induced immune suppression.

Activin A and NK cell function

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a major role in immunosurveillance against tumor initiation and metastasis spread. Signals and checkpoints that regulate NK cell fitness and function in the tumor microenvironment are not well defined. Transforming grow factor (TGF)- is a recognized suppressor of NK cells that inhibits IL-15 dependent signaling events and induces cellular transdifferentiation, however the role of other SMAD signaling pathways in NK cells is unknown. We used a global, label-free proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of NK cells in the presence of TGF-b or activin-A.

Developing enhanced immunotherapy using NKG2A knockout human pluripotent stem cell-derived NK cells

Project description:Cancer immunotherapy is gaining increasing attention. However, immune checkpoints are exploited by cancer cells to evade anti-tumor immunotherapy. Here, we knocked out NKG2A, an immune checkpoint expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and differentiated these hPSCs into NK (PSC-NK) cells. We show that NKG2A knockout (KO) enhances the anti-tumor and anti-viral capabilities of PSC-NK cells. NKG2A KO endows PSC-NK cells with higher cytotoxicity against HLA-E-expressing glioblastoma (GBM) cells, leukemia cells, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected cells in vitro. The NKG2A KO PSC-NK cells also exerted potent anti-tumor activity in vivo, leading to substantially suppressed tumor progression and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice in a xenograft GBM mouse model. These findings underscore the potential of PSC-NK cells with immune checkpoint KO as a promising cell-based immunotherapy. The unlimited supply and ease of genetic engineering of hPSCs makes genetically engineered PSC-NK an attractive option for easily accessible "off-the-shelf" cancer immunotherapy.

Quantitative proteomics analysis of lytic KSHV infection in human endothelial cells reveals novel targets of viral immune modulation

Project description:Kaposi’s Sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic human virus and leading cause of mortality in HIV infection. Reactivation of KSHV from latent to lytic stage infection initiates a cascade of viral gene expression, and here we show how these changes remodel the host cell proteome to enable viral replication. By undertaking a systematic and unbiased analysis of changes to the endothelial cell proteome following lytic KSHV reactivation, we quantify >7000 cellular and 71 viral proteins. Lytic KSHV infection resulted in >2-fold downregulation of 291 cellular proteins, including PKR, the key cellular sensor of double-stranded RNA. A complementary KSHV genome-wide CRISPR genetic screen identified K5 as the viral gene responsible for the downregulation of two novel KSHV targets, Nectin-2 and CD155, both ligands of the NK cell DNAM-1 receptor. Despite the high episome copy number, we show that CRISPR Cas9 provides a remarkably efficient way to target KSHV genomes.
