SARS-CoV-2 infection establishes an enhanced, stable, and age-independent CD8+ T cell response against a dominant nucleocapsid epitope using highly restricted TCRs

ABSTRACT: In vitro antigenic challenge identified N222-230 (LLLDRLNQL referred to as LLL) as a dominant epitope that elicited the greatest response (number of responders and magnitude of expansion) from both convalescent and uninfected donors. Analysis of scTCRseq of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells using scTCRseq revealed highly restricted V-gene usage (TRAV12-2) with limited CDR3 motifs, which was supported by structural characterization of a TCR–LLL–HLA-A2 complex. Lastly, transcriptome analysis of CD8+ T cells between expanders and non-expanders identified increased gene expressions associated with differentiation of CD8+ T cells from non- expanders which are shared across the different subsets in a TCR-independent manner. These results show that SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in significantly enhanced proliferation of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells and suggest that an altered transcriptome is the underlying mechanism controlling activation-induced expansion of LLL-specific CD8+ T cells.

T cell receptors repertoire sequencing of the human CD8+ naive subsets (CXCR3-,CXCR3+)

Project description:The presented data corresponds to the analysis of two discrete subsets of human CD8+ naive T cells, defined by positive and negative expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 (TNR3-, TNR3+). In this study we demonstrated that these subsets have different potential to generate fully-differentiated effector T cells following antigen-specific stimulation. The performed systematic immune repertoire analysis (T cell receptor beta chain (TRB)) of the sorted cell subsets revealed diverse physico-chemical properties of TRB CDR3 sequences suggesting enhanced TCR self-reactivity in human TNR3+ cells. In total, we analyzed 74 samples (from 11 patients, 3 replicates of each cell subset (excluding one missing replicate) and additionally for 3 patients CD8+ memory T cells in 3 replicates). We used the Human TCR Profiling Kit (MiLaboratory LLC) for sequencing libraries preparation and Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencing (150+150bp) followed by the demultiplexing procedure using MIGEC software (https://github.com/mikessh/migec).

Neuro-PASC is characterized by enhanced CD4+ and diminished CD8+ T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein

Project description:Many people experiencing long COVID symptoms, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), suffer from debilitating neurologic symptoms (Neuro-PASC). Although symptoms of Neuro-PASC are widely documented, it is still unclear whether virus-specific adaptive immunity is affected in these individuals. We report that Neuro-PASC patients exhibit distinct immunological signatures composed of elevated CD4+ T cell responses toward the C-terminal region of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein when examined both functionally and using TCR sequencing. In contrast, Neuro-PASC patients also have diminished activation of CD8+ memory T cells and increased IL-6 production to Nucleocapsid. Elevated plasma immunoregulatory and reduced pro-inflammatory and antiviral response signatures were evident in Neuro-PASC patients compared with COVID convalescent controls without lasting symptoms, correlating with worse neurocognitive dysfunction. These data provide new insight into the impact of virus-specific cellular immunity on the pathogenesis of long COVID and pave the way for the rational design of predictive biomarkers and therapeutic interventions.

Recruitment of highly cytotoxic CD8+ T cell receptors in mild SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:T cell immunity is crucial for the control of SARS-CoV-2 infections and has been widely studied on a quantitative level. However, quality of responses, in particular of CD8+ T cells, has only been marginally investigated so far. Here, we isolated T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires specific for immunodominant SARS-CoV-2 epitopes restricted to common Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) class I molecules in convalescent individuals. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells were detected up to twelve months from infection. TCR repertoires were diverse, with heterogeneous functional avidity and cytotoxicity towards virus-infected cells, as demonstrated for TCR-engineered T cells. High TCR functionality correlated with gene signatures that, remarkably, could be retrieved for each epitope:HLA combination analyzed. Overall, our data demonstrate that polyclonal and highly functional CD8+ TCRs – classical features of protective immunity - are recruited upon mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, providing tools to assess the quality and to potentially restore functional CD8+ T cell immunity.

Epitope-specific T cell responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination [scRNA_dextramer_mixed_time]

Project description:Clonal expansion is a hallmark of adaptive immunity, and appears to be driven by high antigen-specific receptor avidity as shown by research using murine in vivo models. In humans, however, the functionality of antigen-specific T cell clonotypes that are recruited into primary and recall immune responses remains surprisingly elusive. In this regard, the vaccination program during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic represented a unique research opportunity by provision of highly standardized cohorts of healthy human individuals receiving immunizations against a previously unseen antigen. Here, we analyzed 30 HLA-typed individuals before, short-term and long-term after three mRNA vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2. We performed an in-depth characterization of the magnitude, phenotype, clonal composition and functionality of antigen-specific CD8 T cell responses by ELISPOT, flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing, including CITE seq of 130 surface antigens and 16 T cell epitope specificities. 89 T cell receptors (TCRs) covering three complete epitope-specific repertoires were re-expressed by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated orthotopic TCR replacement and tested for their avidity. TCR repertoires underwent continuous tailoring, with high TCR avidity being linked to both clonal persistence and expansion. However, epitope-specific repertoires also maintained diversity by concomitant contraction and new emergence of functional T cell clones over time. These data on the phenotype and clonal selection within human antigen-specific T cell responses instruct our understanding of human T cell biology and may guide the development of enhanced or novel vaccines.

PRAME and CTCFL-reactive TCRs for the treatment of ovarian cancer

Project description:Recurrent disease emerges in the majority of patients with ovarian cancer (OVCA). Adoptive T-cell therapies with T-cell receptors (TCRs) targeting tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) are considered promising solutions for less-immunogenic ‘cold’ ovarian tumors. In order to treat a broader patient population, more TCRs targeting peptides derived from different TAAs binding in various HLA class I molecules are essential. By performing a differential gene expression analysis using mRNA-seq datasets, PRAME, CTCFL and CLDN6 were selected as strictly tumor-specific TAAs, with high expression in ovarian cancer and at least 20-fold lower expression in all healthy tissues of risk. In primary OVCA patient samples and cell lines we confirmed expression and identified naturally expressed TAA-derived peptides in the HLA class I ligandome. Subsequently, high-avidity T-cell clones recognizing these peptides were isolated from the allo-HLA T-cell repertoire of healthy individuals. Three PRAME TCRs and one CTCFL TCR of the most promising T-cell clones were sequenced, and transferred to CD8+ T cells. The PRAME TCR-T cells demonstrated potent and specific antitumor reactivity in vitro and in vivo. The CTCFL TCR-T cells efficiently recognized primary patient-derived OVCA cells, and OVCA cell lines treated with demethylating agent 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (DAC). The identified PRAME and CTCFL TCRs are promising candidates for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer, and are an essential addition to the currently used HLA-A*02:01 restricted PRAME TCRs. Our selection of differentially expressed genes, naturally expressed TAA peptides and potent TCRs can improve and broaden the use of T-cell therapies for patients with ovarian cancer or other PRAME or CTCFL expressing cancers.

Rapid TCR:Epitope Ranker (RAPTER): A primary human T cell reactivity screening assay pairing epitope and TCR at single cell resolution

Project description:Identifying epitopes that T cells respond to is critical to understanding T cell-mediated immunity. Traditional multimer and other single cell assays often require large blood volumes and/or expensive HLA-specific reagents and provide limited phenotypic and functional information. Here, we present the Rapid TCR:Epitope Ranker (RAPTER) assay, a single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-SEQ) method that uses primary human T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) to assess functional T cell reactivity at single cell resolution. Using hash-tag oligonucleotide (HTO) coding and T cell activation-induced markers (AIM), RAPTER defines paired epitope specificity and TCR sequence and can include RNA- and protein-level T cell phenotype information. We demonstrate that RAPTER identified specific reactivities to viral and tumor antigens at sensitivities as low as 0.15% of total CD8+ T cells, and deconvoluted low-frequency circulating HPV16-specific T cell clones from a cervical cancer patient. The specificities of TCRs identified by RAPTER for MART1, EBV, and influenza epitopes were functionally confirmed in vitro. In summary, RAPTER identifies low-frequency T cell reactivities using primary cells from low blood volumes, and the resulting paired TCR: ligand information can directly enable immunogenic antigen selection for vaccine epitope inclusion, antigen-specific TCR tracking, and TCR cloning for further therapeutic development.

TCR repertoire analysis by Next-generation sequencing of mouse CD8+ T cells in spleen or tumor

Project description:We have reported that intra-tumoral treatment with 1V270, a phospholipid-conjugated TLR7 agonist,induces local expansion an systemic dispersion of oligoclonal tumor-specific T cells by TCR repertoire analysis using next generation RNAseq methodology. Here, we examined whether systemic 1V270 therapy also induced oligoclonal expansion of tumor-specific T cells. Two groups of BALB/c mice (n=4/group) were i.p. treated with 1V270,a phospholipid-conjugated TLR7 agonist. One cohort of mice was i.v. injected with 4T1-GLF cells (2×104) on day 0. Another cohort did not receive i.v. tumor injection (no tumor-exposed mice). 4T1 cells were orthotopically inoculated on day 21. To examine clonal specificity of tumor-specific T cells, CD8+ cells were isolated from the spleens and the tumor infiltrating lymphocytes of secondarily challenged tumors after initial 1V270 therapy. The TCR repertoires were assessed by next generation RNA sequencing of both TCRαand TCR β genes.

The transcription factor IRF4 is essential for T cell receptor affinity mediated metabolic programming and clonal expansion of T cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We demonstrate that transcription factor IRF4 is induced in a T cell receptor (TCR) affinity-dependent manner and functions as a dose-dependent regulator of the metabolic function of activated T cells. IRF4 regulates the expression of key molecules required for aerobic glycolysis of effector T cells, and is essential for clonal expansion and maintenance of effector function of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Examination of binding sites of transcription factor IRF4 in mouse CD8+ T cells.
