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

ABSTRACT: 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.

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

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.

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.

Antigen presentation by tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) mediates progenitor to terminal exhaustion transition in glioblastoma and other solid tumors

Project description:While terminally exhausted T cells (Tex_term) retain important anti-tumor cytotoxic function, it is the relative preservation of renewable, stem-like progenitor exhaustion (Tex_prog) that better indicates immunotherapeutic responsivity. Although restraining the progression from Tex_prog to Tex_term thus takes on clinical significance, the cellular interactions in a tumor microenvironment (TME) governing such progression remain less established. Employing glioblastoma (GBM) and other solid tumors as models of severe exhaustion, we provide a detailed characterization of the progression from Tex_prog to Tex_term within the TME, where we observe a striking and disproportionate loss of Tex_prog over time, leading to a low progenitor exhaustion to terminal exhaustion ratio (PETER). We find exhaustion concentrated within tumor-specific T cell subsets, with cognate antigenic exposure requisite for acquisition of the Tex_term phenotype. However, we implicate tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), and not tumor cells, as the source of antigenic exposure governing the Tex_prog to Tex_term transition. Using cell – cell interaction analysis, we additionally highlight candidate receptor–ligand communications that may be specifically mediating the progression to Tex_term and resultant decline in PETER within the TME.

Transcriptional profiles of miR-155 overexpressing CD8T cells during chronic infection

Project description:Persistent viral infections and tumors drive development of exhausted T (TEX) cells. In these settings, TEX cells establish an important host-pathogen or host-tumor stalemate. However, TEX cells erode over time, leading to loss of pathogen or cancer containment. We identified microRNA (miR)-155 as a key regulator of sustained TEX cell responses during chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. Genetic deficiency of miR-155 ablated CD8 T cell responses during chronic infection. Conversely, enhanced miR-155 expression promoted expansion and long-term persistence of TEX cells. However, rather than strictly antagonizing exhaustion, miR-155 promoted a terminal TEX cell subset. Transcriptional profiling identified coordinated control of cell signaling and transcription factor pathways, including the key AP-1 family member Fosl2. Overexpression of Fosl2 reversed the miR-155 effects, identifying a link between miR-155 and the AP-1 transcriptional program in regulating TEX cells. Thus, we identify a mechanism of miR-155 regulation of TEX cells and a key role for Fosl2 in T cell exhaustion.

Distinct SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes act differentially to maintain stem-like exhausted CD8 T cells [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX) arise during chronic viral infections and cancer and limit disease control. Three major sequential epigenetic remodeling events occur as naïve CD8 T cells (TN) differentiate into TEX: initial activation, early bifurcation between effector (TEFF) and TEX precursors, and later differentiation of effector-like and terminal TEX subsets from progenitor TEX. The epigenetic factors mediating these transitions remain poorly understood. Here, we uncovered distinct roles for two versions of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, BAF and PBAF, in TEX differentiation using in vivo CRISPR screening. Disruption of BAF ablated antigen-specific CD8 T cells early in chronic infection, suggesting a requirement for BAF-mediated remodeling in the early epigenetic remodeling events. In contrast, depletion of PBAF subunits enhanced TEX formation and promoted progenitor TEX differentiation into more differentiated TEX subsets by limiting accessibility of TCF-1 binding sites. Loss of PBAF improved tumor control alone and in combination with anti-PD-L1. Simultaneous depletion of BAF- and PBAF-specific subunits revealed that BAF is required for the beneficial impact of loss of PBAF on TEX differentiation. Thus, BAF and PBAF regulate epigenetic transitions in CD8 T cell differentiation, with PBAF acting at a later stage in exhaustion as a guardian to limit full TEX differentiation and preserve TEX progenitor populations with implications for cancer immunotherapy.
