Intercellular nanotube-mediated mitochondrial transfer enhances T-cell metabolic fitness and antitumor efficacy

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial loss and dysfunction drive T cell exhaustion and represent major barriers to successful T cell immunotherapies. We found that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) establish nanotubular connections with T cells in a TLN2-dependent manner and leveraged these intercellular highways to supply new mitochondria to CD8+ T cells. Acquisition of MSC mitochondria increased T cell basal mitochondrial respiration and spare respiratory capacity. When transferred into tumor-bearing hosts, tumor-specific CD8+ T cells with donated mitochondria expanded more robustly, infiltrated the tumor more efficiently, and exhibited fewer signs of exhaustion compared to CD8+ T cells that did not take up mitochondria. As a result, mitochondria-boosted CD8+ T cells mediated superior antitumor responses, prolonging animal survival. To unravel the mechanisms behind mitochondrial transfer we performed RNA sequencing on CD8+ T cells that acquired donor mitochondria (MitoPositive), or did not acquire donor mitochondira (MitoNegative) directly after after co-culture (0hr timepoint).

Effect of mitochondrial transfer from bone marrow stroma cells to anti-tumor T cells on T cell differentiation and function

Project description:Mitochondrialloss and dysfunctiondrive T cell exhaustion, representing major barriers to successful T cell-based immunotherapies. We found that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transfer stromal cell mitochondria into CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cells with donated mitochondria displayed enhanced mitochondrial respiration and spare respiratory capacity. When transferred into tumor-bearing hosts, these supercharged T cells expanded more robustly, infiltrated the tumor more efficiently, and exhibited fewer signs of exhaustion compared to T cells that did not take up mitochondria. As a result, mitochondria-boosted CD8+ T cells mediated superior antitumor responses, prolonging animal survival.

Mesenchymal stem cells shift mitochondrial dynamics and enhance oxidative phosphorylation in recipient cells

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are the most commonly used cells in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. MSC can promote host tissue repair through several different mechanisms including donor cell engraftment, release of cell signaling factors and the transfer of healthy organelles to the host. In the present study, we examine the specific impacts of MSC on mitochondrial morphology and function in host tissues. Employing in vitro cell culture of inherited mitochondrial disease and an in vivo animal experimental model of low-grade inflammation (high fat feeding), we show human-derived MSC to alter mitochondrial function. MSC co-culture of skin fibroblasts from mitochondrial disease patients rescued aberrant mitochondrial morphology from a fission state to a more fused appearance indicating an effect of MSC co-culture on host cell mitochondrial network formation. In vivo experiments confirmed mitochondrial abundance and mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates were elevated in host tissues following MSC treatment. Furthermore, microarray profiling identified 226 genes with differential expression in the liver of animals treated with MSC, with cellular signaling and actin cytoskeleton regulation as key upregulated processes. Collectively, our data indicate that MSC therapy rescues impaired mitochondrial morphology, enhances host metabolic capacity and induces widespread host gene shifting. These results highlight the potential of MSC to modulate mitochondria in both inherited and pathological disease states. To examine the effect of MSC therapy on global gene expression and cell signaling pathways, microarray gene expression analysis was performed on liver tissues.

Disturbed mitochondrial dynamics in CD8+ TIL reinforce epigenetic programming linked with T cell exhaustion

Project description:The metabolic challenges present in tumors attenuate the metabolic fitness and anti-tumor activity of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, it remains unclear whether persistent metabolic insufficiency can imprint permanent T cell dysfunction. We found that TILs accumulating depolarized mitochondria as a result of declined mitophagy activity display functional, transcriptomic and epigenetic characteristics of terminally exhausted T cells. Mechanistically, declined mitochondrial fitness in TILs is induced by the coordination of T cell receptor stimulation, microenvironmental stressors and PD-1 signal. Forcing the accumulation of depolarized mitochondria with pharmacological interventions induces epigenetic reprogramming for terminal exhaustion, indicating that mitochondrial deregulation is indeed a cause – rather than a consequence – of T cell exhaustion. Furthermore, supplementation with nicotinamide riboside enhances T cell mitochondrial fitness and improved responsiveness to anti-PD-1 treatment. Together, our results reveal new insights on how mitochondrial dynamics and quality orchestrate T cell anti-tumor responses and commitment to the exhaustion program.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transfer Mitochondria to the Cells with Virtually Absent Mitochondrial Function but Not to the Cells Harboring Pathogenic Mitochondrial DNA Mutations

Project description:It has been reported that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can transfer mitochondria to the cells with severely compromised mitochondrial function. We tested whether MSCs transfer mitochondria to the cells under several different conditions of mitochondrial dysfunction, including human pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations. Using biochemical selection methods, we found that exponentially growing cells in restrictive media (uridine and bromodeoxyuridine [BrdU]+) after coculture of MSCs (uridine-independent and BrdU-sensitive) and 143B-derived cells with severe mitochondrial dysfunction induced by either long-term ethidium bromide treatment or short-term rhodamine 6G (R6G) treatment (uridine-dependent but BrdU-resistant). The exponentially growing cells had nuclear DNA fingerprint patterns identical to 143B, and a sequence of mtDNA identical to the MSCs. Since R6G causes rapid and irreversible damage to mitochondria without the removal of mtDNA, the mitochondrial function appears to be restored through a direct transfer of mitochondria rather than mtDNA alone. Conditioned media, which were prepared by treating mtDNA-less 143B 0 cells under uridine-free condition, induced increased chemotaxis in MSC, which was also supported by transcriptome analysis. A chemotaxis inhibitory agent blocked mitochondrial transfer phenomenon in the above condition. However, we could not find any evidence of mitochondrial transfer to the cells harboring human pathogenic mtDNA mutations (A3243G mutation or 4,977 bp deletion). Thus, the mitochondrial transfer is limited to the condition of a near total absence of mitochondrial function. Elucidation of the mechanism of mitochondrial transfer will help us create a potential “cell therapy-based mitochondrial restoration or mitochondrial gene therapy” for human diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. time series

Friends not foes: CTLA-4 blockade and mTOR inhibition cooperate during CD8+ T cell priming

Project description:T cells receive numerous positive and negative signals during primary antigen encounter that control their proliferation and function, but how these signals are integrated to modulate T cell memory has not been fully characterized. In these studies, we demonstrate that combining seemingly opposite signals, CTLA-4 blockade and rapamycin-mediated mTOR inhibition, during in vivo T cell priming leads to both an increase in the frequency of memory CD8+ T cells and improved memory responses to tumors and bacterial challenges. This enhanced efficacy corresponds to increased early expansion and memory precursor differentiation of CD8+ T cells and increased mitochondrial biogenesis and spare respiratory capacity in memory CD8+ T cells in mice treated with anti-CTLA-4 and rapamycin during immunization. Collectively, these results reveal that mTOR inhibition cooperates with rather than antagonizes blockade of CTLA-4, promoting unrestrained effector function and proliferation and an optimal metabolic program for CD8+ T cell memory. Total RNA was isolated from FACS-sorted, antigen-specific CD8+T cells from different treatment conditions at 5 or 35 days after primary T cell activation

Gene expression profiling of transmitochondrial cybrids (triple negative breast cancer cells in SUM159 background)

Project description:We used a transmitochondrial cybrid (cybrids)-based discovery approach to identify mitochondria-regulated cancer pathways in TN BCa. Cybrids were generated under a moderately metastatic TN BCa cell line SUM159 as the common nuclear background with mitochondria from benign breast epithelium (A1N4) and moderately metastatic (SUM159) TN BCa cells. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that even under the common moderately cancerous nuclear background, mitochondria from benign cells inhibit and metastatic cell induce cancer properties of a moderately aggressive TN BCa cell. Gene expression studies identified c-Src onco-pathway as one of the major cancer pathways altered according to the mitochondria status of the cybrids. SUM159 Ï0 cells were used as nuclear donor and A1N4 and SUM 159 cells were used as mitochondrial donor cells. The two groups were profiled for gene expression using microarrays. two group comparison (159/SUM159 vs A1/SUM159)

CD28 Co-stimulation Drives Tumor-Infiltrating T Cell Glycolysis to Promote Inflammation

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming dictates the fate and function of stimulated T cells, yet these pathways can be suppressed in T cells subjected to unique microenvironments, such as in a tumor. We previously showed that glycolytic and mitochondrial adaptations directly contribute to reduced effector functions of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) CD8 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Here we define the role of these metabolic pathways in the activation and effector functions of RCC CD8 TIL. CD28 co-stimulation plays a key role to augment T cell activation and metabolism and is antagonized by inhibitory and checkpoint immunotherapy receptors CTLA4 and PD-1. While RCC CD8 TIL activated poorly when stimulated through the T cell receptor alone, addition of CD28 co-stimulation greatly enhanced activation, function, and proliferation. CD28 co-stimulation reprogrammed RCC CD8 TIL metabolism with increased glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, in part through upregulation of GLUT3. Mitochondria also became more fused, with higher membrane potential and overall mass. These phenotypes were dependent on glucose metabolism, as the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose both prevented changes to mitochondria and suppressed RCC CD8 TIL activation and function. These data show that CD28 co-stimulation can restore RCC CD8 TIL metabolism and function through rescue of T cell glycolysis that supports mitochondrial mass and activity.
