Project description:To investigate the function of Nrf2-deficient CD8 T cells in the regulation of anti-tumor response, we established adoptive transfer models. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from single-cell RNA-seq(scRNA-seq) of Nrf2-deficient and WT CD8 T cells in the tumor.

Project description:To identify unique chromatin regions predicting the anti-tumor efficacy of Nrf2-deleted smart CD8+ T cell therapy, we performed an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) using tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells from tumor-bearing mice transferred Nrf2-deficient CD8+ T cells. From the analysis of ATAC-seq data, we identified quantitatively distinct open regions of chromatin that distinguish Nrf2-deficient CD8+ T cells or WT CD8+ T cells.

Project description:The optimal T cell attributes for the adoptive immunotherapy of cancer and viral diseases are currently unclear. Recent adoptive transfer clinical trials using ex vivo expanded tumor infiltrating lymphocytes has provided evidence that differentiated effector T cells can mediate durable responses in selected cancer patients. The capacity of these transferred cells to persist in the host was found to strongly correlate with their clinical activity. Thus, there is significant interest in identifying intrinsic markers that define antigen specific effector T cells that can develop into long-lived memory cells rather than undergoing apoptosis after infusion in humans. We recently reported the long term persistence of ex vivo expanded tumor specific CD8+ T effector clones in refractory metastatic melanoma patients after adoptive T cell transfer. By utilizing these highly homogeneous clone populations, we sought to define the pre-infusion cellular and molecular attributes associated with their effector to memory transition. Comparative transcriptional profiling found the pre-infusion clone mRNA expression levels of the IL-7 receptor (IL-7Ra) and the proto-oncogene, c-myc, directly correlated with the level of clonal persistence after adoptive transfer in humans. The predictive value of these markers was further established by utilizing IL-7R protein, induced pSTAT5, and c-myc mRNA expression to prospectively identify human tumor specific effector clones that could engraft after controlled adoptive transfer into highly immunodeficient mice. These findings support that IL-7R and c-myc expression are valuable cell intrinsic markers that can predict the fate of effector CD8+ T cells after adoptive transfer. We used microarrays to compare the pre-infusion gene expression profile of melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell clones that would eventually either persist or not after adoptive transfer in humans. We derived ten melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell clones and determined their degree of persistence after adoptive therapy into patients. We performed microarray on the pre-infusion samples of six persisting and four non-persisting clones to obtain a comparative gene signature profile.

Project description:Effector CD8+ T cell (TE) proliferation and cytokine production depends on enhanced glucose metabolism. However, circulating T cells continuously adapt to glucose fluctuations caused by diet and inter-organ metabolite exchange. Here we show that transient glucose restriction (TGR) in activated CD8+ TE metabolically primes effector functions and enhances tumour clearance in mice. Tumor-specific TGR CD8+ TE co-cultured with tumor spheroids in replete conditions display enhanced effector molecule expression, and adoptive transfer of these cells in a murine lymphoma model leads to greater numbers of immunologically functional circulating donor cells and complete tumor clearance. Mechanistically, TGR TE undergo metabolic remodelling that upon glucose re-exposure supports enhanced glucose uptake, increased carbon allocation to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and a cellular redox shift toward a more reduced state, all indicators of a more anabolic program to support their enhanced functionality. Thus, metabolic conditioning could be utilized to promote efficiency of T cell products for adoptive cellular therapy.

Project description:Understanding how circulating metabolites enforce pathways in dysfunctional immune cells may illuminate modes of intervention directed at reviving immune function. The NRF2 pathway is the most widely documented cytoprotective axis in land-dwelling eukaryotes. However, the role of this pathway in CD8+ T cells—which seek and destroy tumors and pathogen infected cells—has yet to be elucidated. Our lab has conducted a RNAseq meta-analysis of CD8+ T cells upon tumor, viral and bacterial inoculation. Curiously, the NRF2 pathway was robustly upregulated in dysfunctional CD8+T cells. To further investigate the role of NRF2 in these contexts we developed a mouse model whereby the NRF2 axis is permanently hyperactivated in CD8+ T cells, hereafter referred to as NRF2Hi. Our in vivo data demonstrate that NRF2Hi CD8+ T cells offer little overall cytoprotection and poorly control tumors and pathogens versus wildtype (WT) control CD8+ T cells. To understand why upregulation of the NRF2 axis could be unfavorable to CD8+ T cell function we conducted RNAseq on NRF2Hi versus WT cells upon viral infection of mice. We found that NRF2Hi cells massively upregulate the prostacyclin receptor (PTGIR), which binds to prostacyclin—a circulating metabolite of arachidonic acid that has only been investigated in vasodilation and is seemingly benign to CD8+ T cells. To decipher the role of PTGIR in CD8+ T cells, we silenced its expression and observed a revival of CD8+ T cell function, significantly reducing tumor and pathogen burden. Collectively, our data illuminate a NRF2-regulated immune checkpoint, PTGIR. Interventions that suppress the interaction between PTGIR and prostacyclin may serve therapeutic benefit in clinical contexts such as cancer and chronic pathogen infections.

Project description:Adoptive transfer of anti-tumor cytotoxic T cells is a novel form of cancer immunotherapy, and a key challenge is to ensure the survival and function of the transferred T cells. Immune cell survival requires adaptation to different micro-environments, and particularly to the hypoxic milieu of solid tumors. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors are an essential aspect of this adaptation, and we undertook experiments to define structural determinants of HIF that would potentiate anti-tumor efficacy in cytotoxic T cells. We created retroviral vectors to deliver ectopic expression of HIF-1ɑ and HIF-2ɑ in mouse CD8+ T cells, together or individually, and with or without sensitivity to their oxygen-dependent inhibitors Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) and Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH). We found that HIF-2ɑ, but not HIF-1ɑ, drives broad transcriptional changes in CD8+ T cells, resulting in increased cytotoxic differentiation and cytolytic function against tumor targets. We further found that a specific mutation replacing the hydroxyl group acceptor site for FIH in the HIF-2ɑ isoform gives rise to the most effective anti-tumor T cells after adoptive transfer in vivo. Lastly, we show that co-delivering an FIH-insensitive form of HIF-2ɑ with an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor greatly enhances cytolytic function of human CD8+ T cells against lymphoma cells both in vitro and in a xenograft adoptive transfer model. These experiments provide a means to increase the anti-tumor efficacy of therapeutic CD8+ T cells via ectopic expression of the HIF transcription factor. Method: OT-I CD8+ T cells were activated with 100 ng/ml OVA for 24 hours before retroviral transducton with with mouse HIF1 or mouse HIF2-expressing vectors, expanded in IL-2 for 5 days before being sorted on Thy-1.1 surface expression on a BD FACSAria Fusion cell sorter (BD Biosciences) directly into RLT Plus lysis buffer (Qiagen, #1053393). Total RNA was subjected to quality control with Agilent Tapestation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To construct libraries suitable for Illumina sequencing the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample preparation protocol, which includes cDNA synthesis, ligation of adapters and amplification of indexed libraries, was used (Illumina, #20020594). The yield and quality of the amplified libraries were analysed using Qubit by Thermo Fisher and the Agilent Tapestation. The indexed cDNA libraries were normalised and combined and the pools were sequenced on the Nextseq 550 for a 50-cycle v2.5 sequencing run generating 75 bp single-end reads. Basecalling and demultiplexing was performed using CASAVA software with default settings generating Fastq files for further downstream mapping and analysis.
