CD4+ T cells select unique P65, IRF1 and FOS dependen responses in APC for integration into antiviral CD8+ T cell immunity

ABSTRACT: Antiviral CD8+ T cell immunity depends on the integration of varying contextual cues, but how antigen presenting cells (APC ) consolidate these signals for decoding by T cells remains unclear. We describe gradual IFN-α/β-induced transcriptional adaptations that endowed APC with the capacity to rapidly activate the transcriptional regulators P65, IRF1 and FOS upon CD4+ T cell-mediated CD40 stimulation. While these responses operated through broadly utilized signaling components, they induced a unique set of costimulatory molecules and soluble mediators that could not be elicited by IFN-α/β or CD40 alone. This response was critical for the acquisition of antiviral CD8+ T cell effector function, and its activity in APC from patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) correlated with milder disease. These observations uncover a sequential integration process whereby APC rely on CD4+ T cells to select the innate circuits that guide antiviral CD8+ T cell responses.

Project description:Interferon (IFN)-alpha causes high rates of depression and fatigue, and is used to investigate the impact of innate immune cytokines on brain and behavior. However, little is known about transcriptional profiles of circulating immune cells during chronic IFN-alpha administration. Accordingly, genome-wide transcriptional profiling was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 21 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus either awaiting IFN-alpha therapy (n=10) or after 12 weeks of IFN-alpha treatment (n=11). Significance analysis of microarray data identified 252 up-regulated gene transcripts, the majority of which were related to IFN-alpha/antiviral or innate-immune/inflammatory signaling. Of these upregulated genes, 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 2 (OAS2) was the only gene that was differentially expressed in patients that developed IFN-alpha-induced depression/fatigue, and correlated with depression and fatigue scores at 12 weeks of IFN-alpha administration. Promoter-based bioinformatic and cellular origin analyses revealed IFN-alpha-induced increases in genes bearing transcription factor binding motifs (TFBMs) related to myeloid differentiation, IFN-alpha signaling, API and CREB/ATF family of transcription pathways, with changes derived primarily from monocytes and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Patients with high depression/fatigue scores demonstrated up-regulation of genes bearing TFBMs for myeloid differentiation, IFN-alpha and AP1 signaling, and down regulation of TFBMs for CREB/ATF-related transcription factors. Cellular origin analyses indicated a shift toward genes derived from CD8+T and NK cells in subjects with high depression/fatigue scores. These results reveal an antiviral and inflammatory transcriptional profile after 12 weeks IFN-alpha, accompanied by increased OAS2 expression, decreased CREB/ATF transcriptional control, and a shift from monocyte-derived genes to those of cytotoxic lymphocytes in IFN-alpha-induced depression/fatigue. Total RNA was isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained at 12 weeks from HCV patients treated with IFN-alpha plus ribavirin (n=11) and untreated HCV patients awaiting IFN-alpha/ribavirin therapy (control subjects, n=10).
