Project description:CD49a marks highly cytotoxic epidermal tissue-resident memory (TRM)-cells, but their molecular circuitry and relationships to circulating populations are poorly defined. We demonstrate enrichment of RUNX family transcription factor binding motifs in human epidermal CD8+CD103+CD49a+ TRM-cells, paralleled by high RUNX2 and RUNX3 protein expression. Clonal overlap between epidermal CD8+CD103+CD49a+ TRM-cells and circulating memory CD8+CD45RA–CD62L+ T-cells identified a reservoir of circulating cells with potential to seed cytotoxic TRM-cells in new sites. Upon IL-15 and TGF-β stimulation, subsets of circulating CD8+CD45RA–CD62L+ T-cells acquired CD49a expression and cytotoxic transcriptional profiles in a RUNX2 and RUNX3 dependent manner. In contrast, knock-out of RUNX3, but not RUNX2, prevented CD103 expression. In melanoma, high RUNX2, but not RUNX3, transcription correlated with a cytotoxic CD8+CD103+CD49a+ TRM cell signature and overall patient survival. Together, our results indicate that combined RUNX2 and RUNX3 activity promotes the differentiation of cytotoxic CD8+CD103+CD49a+ TRM-cells, providing immunosurveillance of infected and malignant cells.

Project description:We report the transcriptome analysis of epidermal CD8 tissue resident memory T (TRM) cells from healthy human skin. Specifically, epidermal CD8+CD103+CD49a+ and CD8+CD103+CD49- TRM cells from healthy human skin were sorted by FACS. Differential gene expression analysis revealed functional dichotomy of epidermal CD8+CD103+CD49a+ and CD8+CD103+CD49- TRM cells.

Project description:Tissue resident memory (Trm) represent a newly described memory T cell population. We have previously characterized a population of Trm that persists within the brain following acute virus infection. Although capable of providing marked protection against a subsequent local challenge, brain Trm do not undergo recall expansion following dissociation from the tissue. Furthermore, these Trm do not depend on the same survival factors as the circulating memory T cell pool as assessed either in vivo or in vitro. To gain greater insight into this population of cells we compared the gene-expression profiles of Trm isolated from the brain to circulating memory T cells isolated from the spleen following an acute virus infection. Trm displayed altered expression of genes involved in chemotaxis, expressed a distinct set of transcription factors and overexpressed several inhibitory receptors. Cumulatively, these data indicates that Trm are a distinct memory T cell population disconnected from the circulating memory T cell pool and displaying a unique molecular signature which likely results in optimal survival and function within their local environment. 13 samples were analyzed: 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+.CD103- T cells isolated from the spleen of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA. 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+CD103+ T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA; and 3 replicates of memory OT-I.CD8+ CD103- T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA

Project description:Current cancer immunotherapies promote recovery of CD103+ tissue-resident memory T cells (Trm) population of the tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, not all treated patients exhibit improved anti-tumor immunity and survival, likely due to the immunophenotypical diversity among the CD103+ Trm TILs. Utilising multifaceted proteomics approaches and patients’ clinical analyses, we discovered an unusual subset of CD8+ Trm TILs expressing non-canonical integrin β3 early during T cells activation. The integrin β3 surprisingly heterodimerises with CD103 on T cells, leading to unconventional granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity, elevated alternative bioenergy usage and efficient T cell migration, with minimal overall exhaustion. Importantly, early-stage non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients with enriched presence of integrin β3+CD103+ Trm TILs exhibited better clinical prognosis, with improved T cell immunophenotype, hence confirming the beneficial role of this unusual subset of Trm TILs. These unconventional anti-tumor T cell features provide new avenues and future opportunities for designing better translational immunotherapy strategies.

Project description:We report the RNA sequencing of both non-restimulated and restimulated (using anti CD3/CD28 cross-linking) antigen-experienced (CD44+) mouse lung CD8 T cells 21 days post X31 influenza A infection subsetted by integrin expression of CD49a and CD103. After restimulation, all four subsets (CD49a+CD103+, CD49a+CD103-,CD49a-CD103+, CD49a-CD103-) demonstrate global differences and separate in principle component analysis space, with CD49a+ groups showing elevated transcripts for a number of effector functions. The non-restimulated T cells separate out into CD49a+CD103+/- and CD49a-CD103+/- groups. CD49a serves as a correlate of effector transcripts in mouse lungs to a greater degree than CD103 in both non-restimulated and restimulated conditions.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (Trm) are positioned at common sites of pathogen exposure where they elicit rapid and robust protective immune responses. However, the molecular signals controlling Trm differentiation and homeostasis are not fully understood. Here we show that mouse Trm precursor cells represent a unique CD8+ T cell subset that is distinct from the precursors of circulating memory populations at the levels of gene expression and chromatin accessibility. Exploiting computational and functional RNAi in vivo screens, we identified the transcription factor (TF) Runx3 as a key regulator of Trm differentiation and homeostasis. Runx3 was required to establish Trm populations in diverse tissue environments and supported expression of critical tissue-residency genes while suppressing genes associated with tissue egress and recirculation. Analysis of the accessibility of Runx3 target genes in Trm-precursor cells revealed a distinct regulatory role for Runx3 in controlling Trm differentiation despite relatively widespread and uniform expression among all CD8+ T cell subsets. Further, we show that human and murine tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) share a core tissue-residency gene-expression signature with Trm. In a mouse model of adoptive T cell therapy for melanoma, Runx3-deficient CD8+ TIL failed to accumulate in tumors, resulting in greater rates of tumor growth and mortality. Conversely, overexpression of Runx3 enhanced TIL abundance, delayed tumor growth, and prolonged survival. In addition to establishing Runx3 as a central regulator of Trm differentiation, these results provide novel insight into the signals that promote T cell residency in tissues, which could be leveraged to enhance vaccine efficacy or adoptive cell therapy treatments that target cancer.
