Project description:During acute viral infections in mice, IL-7Rα and KLRG1 together are used to distinguish the short-lived effector cells (SLEC; IL-7RαloKLRGhi) from the precursors of persisting memory cells (MPEC; IL-7RαhiKLRG1lo). We here show that these markers can be used to define distinct subsets in the circulation and lymph nodes during the acute phase and in ‘steady state’ in humans. In contrast to the T cells in the circulation, T cells derived from lymph nodes hardly contain any KLRG1-expressing cells. The four populations defined by IL-7Rα and KLRG1 differ markedly in transcription factor, granzyme and chemokine receptor expression. When studying renal transplant recipients experiencing a primary hCMV and EBV infection, we also found that after viral control, during latency, Ki-67-negative SLEC can be found in the peripheral blood in considerable numbers. Thus, combined analyses of IL-7Rα and KLRG1 expression on human herpes virus-specific CD8+ T cells can be used to separate functionally distinct subsets in humans. As a non-cycling IL-7RαloKLRG1hi population is abundant in healthy humans, we conclude that this combination of markers not only defines short-lived effector cells during the acute response but also stable effector cells that are formed and remain present during latent herpes infections.

Project description:T-bet is critical for cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) differentiation, but it is unclear how it operates in a graded manner in the formation of both terminal effector and memory precursor cells during infection. We find that at high concentrations T-bet induced expression of Zeb2 mRNA, which then triggered CTLs to adopt terminally differentiated states. ZEB2 and T-bet cooperate to switch on a terminal CTL differentiation program, while simultaneously repressing genes necessary for central memory CTL development. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) showed that a large proportion of these genes were bound by T-bet, and this binding was altered by ZEB2 deficiency. Furthermore, T-bet overexpression could not fully bypass ZEB2 function. Thus, the coordinated actions of T-bet and ZEB2 outline a novel genetic pathway that forces commitment of CTLs to terminal differentiation, thereby restricting their memory cell potential. Splenocyte derived CD8+ T cells from C57BL/6 mice with either a wildtype (WT) (GzmB-Cre Zeb2+/+) or GzmB-Cre Zeb2-fl/fl (Zeb2-/-) backgrounds, following 8 days post infection with LCMV-Armstrong, were subsetted into KLRG1-hi/IL-7R-lo populations (terminal effectors, TE) or KLRG1-lo/IL-7R-hi (memory precursors, MP) populations. Four experimental groups, each with 3 samples, comprised of TE+WT, MP+WT, TE+ZEB2-/-, and MP+ZEB2-/-, were profiled for gene expression utilizing a polyA RNA prep and hybridized to the Illumina microarray platform IlluminaWG-v2.0.

Project description:CD4+ T cells orchestrate both humoral and cytotoxic immune responses. While it is known that CD4+ T cell proliferation relies on autophagy, direct identification of the autophagosomal cargo involved is still missing. Here, we created a transgenic mouse model, which, for the first time, enables us to directly map the proteinaceous content of autophagosomes in any primary cell by LC3 proximity labelling. IL-7Rα, a cytokine receptor mostly found in naïve and memory T cells, was reproducibly detected in autophagosomes of activated CD4+ T cells. Consistently, CD4+ T cells lacking autophagy showed increased IL-7Rα surface expression, while no defect in internalisation was observed. Mechanistically, excessive surface IL-7Rα sequestrates the common gamma chain, impairing the IL-2R assembly and downstream signalling crucial for T cell proliferation. This study provides proof-of-principle that key autophagy substrates can be reliably identified with this model to help mechanistically unravel autophagy’s contribution to healthy physiology and disease.

Project description:Purpose: RNA-seq analysis of three memory OT-I cell subsets (from a Klrg1-Cre fate reporter mouse model) isolated from the spleen of C57BL/6 mice infected with Listeria monocytogenes. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that KLRG1+ effector CD8 T lymphocytes differentiate into KLRG1- memory CD8 T lymphocytes and provide long-lasting immunity against infectious diseases and malignancies. Methods: Total RNA was obtained from FACS-purified OT-I cell subsets isolated from spleen 104 (experiment 1) and 110 days post infection (experiment 2) with ovalbumin-expressing Listeria monocytogenes (LM-OVA). Results: Using RNA-seq technology, we performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling of three memory OT-I cells (KLRG1+ Reporter+, KLRG1- Reporter+ (exKLRG1) and KLRG1- Reporter-) and identified 36 genes differentially expressed (> 1.5-fold) between exKLRG1 and KLRG1- Reporter- memory OT-I cells, and 132 differentially expressed genes between exKLRG1 and KLRG1+ Reporter+ memory OT-I cells. We then confirmed the expression of 15 genes/molecules by qRT-PCR and/or flow cytometry. Conclusions: Our study represents the first fate mapping analysis of KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells, demonstrates that KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells differentiate into all memory T cell lineages thereby promoting protective immunity. RNA-seq also identified CX3CR1 as a marker of circulating exKLRG1 early memory OT-I cells.

Project description:Purpose: RNA-seq analysis of three memory OT-I cell subsets (from a Klrg1-Cre fate reporter mouse model) isolated from the spleen of C57BL/6 mice infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that KLRG1+ effector CD8 T lymphocytes differentiate into KLRG1- memory CD8 T lymphocytes and provide long-lasting immunity against infectious diseases and malignancies. Methods: Total RNA was obtained from FACS-purified OT-I cell subsets isolated from spleen 70 days post infection with ovalbumin-expressing vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-OVA) (experiment 3). Results: Using RNA-seq technology, we performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling of three memory OT-I cells (KLRG1+ Reporter+, KLRG1- Reporter+ (exKLRG1) and KLRG1- Reporter-) and identified 36 genes differentially expressed (> 1.5-fold) between exKLRG1 and KLRG1- Reporter- memory OT-I cells, and 132 differentially expressed genes between exKLRG1 and KLRG1+ Reporter+ memory OT-I cells. We then confirmed the expression of 15 genes/molecules by qRT-PCR and/or flow cytometry. Conclusions: Our study represents the first fate mapping analysis of KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells, demonstrates that KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells differentiate into all memory T cell lineages thereby promoting protective immunity.

Project description:Purpose: ATAC-seq analysis of naive and three effector OT-I cell subsets (from a Klrg1-Cre fate reporter mouse model) isolated from the spleen of C57BL/6 mice 0 and 8 days post infection with OVA-expressing Listeria monocytogenes. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that chromatin remodeling in KLRG1+ effector CD8 T lymphocytes promotes the differentiation into KLRG1- memory CD8 T lymphocytes that provide long-lasting immunity against infectious diseases and malignancies. Methods: DNA was obtained from 50,000 FACS-purified OT-I cell subsets isolated from spleen 0 and 8 days post infection with ovalbumin-expressing Listeria monocytogenes (LM-OVA) (experiment 3). Results: Using ATAC-seq technology, we analyzed the chromatin accessibility landscape of naive and three effector OT-I cells (KLRG1+ Reporter+, KLRG1- Reporter+ (exKLRG1) and KLRG1- Reporter-). Conclusions: Our study represents the first fate mapping analysis of KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells, demonstrates that KLRG1+ effector OT-I cells differentiate into all memory T cell lineages thereby promoting protective immunity. RNA-seq identified CX3CR1 as a marker of circulating exKLRG1 early memory OT-I cells, and ATAC-seq analysis revealed that chromatin remodeling enabled exKLRG1 memory cells to exhibit both a high cytotoxic and proliferative capacity.

Project description:CD8 effector T cells with a CD127hi KLRG1- phenotype are considered precursors to the long-lived memory pool, while KLRG1+ CD127low cells are viewed as short-lived effectors. Nevertheless, we and others have shown that a KLRG1+ CD127low population persists into the memory phase and that these T cells (termed long-lived effector cells or LLEC) display robust protective function during acute re-challenge with bacteria or viruses. Whether these T cells represent a true memory population or are instead a remnant effector cell population that failed to undergo initial contraction has remained unclear. Here, we show that LLEC from mice express a distinct phenotypic and transcriptional signature that shares characteristics of both early effectors and long-lived memory cells. Furthermore, we find that LLEC are exclusively derived from day 12 KLRG1+ effector cells. Our work challenges the concept that the KLRG1+ CD127low population is dominated by short-lived cells and shows that KLRG1 downregulation is not a prerequisite to become a long-lived protective memory T cell.
