Human γδ T cells in diverse tissues exhibit site-specific maturation dynamics across the lifespan

ABSTRACT: During ontogeny, γδ T cells emerge from the thymus and directly seed peripheral tissues for in situ immunity, though their functional role in humans is largely defined from blood. Here, we analyzed the phenotype, transcriptome, function, and repertoire of human γδ T cells in blood, mucosal and lymphoid tissues from 176 donors across the lifespan, revealing distinct profiles in children compared to adults. In early life, clonally diverse Vd1 subsets predominate across blood and tissues, comprising naïve and differentiated effector and tissue repair functions, while cytolytic Vd2 subsets populate blood, spleen and lungs. Over age, both subsets exhibit clonal expansions disseminated across sites and express elevated cytolytic signatures. In adults, Vd2 cells predominate in blood, while Vd1 cells are enriched across tissues and express residency profiles. These results indicate that antigenic exposures over childhood drive the functional evolution and tissue compartmentalization of γδ T cells, leading to age-dependent roles in immunity.

Transcription profiling of cultured Vd1 and Vd2 gd T cells following non-TCR agonist stimulation

Project description:The two major human gd T cell subsets, Vd1 and Vd2, display differences in tissue tropism and agonist responses, but we have little insight into global differences that may exist at the gene expression level. This is due to the small numbers of these cells that can be obtained from healthy donors, which limit comprehensive, comparative gene expression analyses. We established a culture method that expands Vd1 and Vd2 cells from the same PBL preparation to levels sufficient for sorting and microarray analysis. Although the subsets were expanded identically (anti-TCR mAb, plus IL-15), 392 and 614 genes were identified, which were differentially expressed in the two subsets, from two donors, respectively. Approximately 4,500 genes changed in both subsets following PMA/ionomycin treatment; about 50% of these genes were subset-specific. Both subsets responded to a crude LPS preparation, but only 6% of the responsive genes were the same. The differentially expressed genes were consistent with Vd2 cells being more inflammatory and Vd1 cells having more of a regulatory phenotype. Both subsets expressed transcripts encoding an array of innate and NK cell receptors, supporting the relationship of gd?T cells to the innate immune system. Our results show that circulating Vd1 and Vd2 subsets in humans have considerable, inherent differences in gene expression following treatment with non-TCR agonists, supporting unique functional roles for these cells in vivo.

Comparison of Vdelta1 and Vdelta2 cells

Project description:Gene expression analysis comparison of ex vivo isolated GD T cell subpopulations Under non-pathological conditions, human gd T cells represent a small fraction of CD3+ T cells in peripheral blood (1-10%). They constitute a unique subset of T lymphocytes that recognize stress ligands or non-peptide antigens through MHC-independent presentation. Major human gd T cell subsets, Vd1 and Vd2, expand in response to microbial infection or malignancy, but possess distinct tissue localization, antigen recognition, and effector responses. We hypothesized that differences at the gene, phenotypic, and functional level would provide evidence that gd T cell subpopulations belong to distinct lineages. Comparisons between each subset and the identification of the molecular determinants that underpin their differences has been hampered by experimental challenges in obtaining sufficient numbers of purified cells. By utilizing a stringent FACS-based isolation method, we compared highly purified human Vd1 and Vd2 cells in terms of phenotype, gene expression profile, and functional responses. We found distinct genetic and phenotypic signatures that define functional differences in gd T cell populations. Differences in TCR components, repertoire, and responses to calcium-dependent pathways suggest that Vd1 and Vd2 T cells are different lineages. These findings will facilitate further investigation into the ligand specificity and unique role of Vd1 and Vd2 cells in early immune responses.

Characterization of gammadelta T cells infiltrating human colon adenocarcinomas

Project description:gd T cell infiltration into tumours usually correlates with improved patient outcome, but both tumour-promoting and tumoricidal effects of γδ T cells have been documented. Human γδ T cells can be divided into functionally distinct subsets based on T cell receptor Vd usage. Still, the contribution of these different subsets to tumour immunity remains elusive. Here, we provide a detailed gd T cell profiling in colon tumours, comprising mRNA quantification using the Nanostring platform, in combination with mass and flow cytometry and TCR sequencing. δ chain usage in both the macroscopically unaffected colon mucosa and tumours varied considerably between patients, with substantial fractions of Vδ1, Vδ2, and non-Vd1Vd2 cells. Nanostring analyses of flow cytometry sorted Vd1, Vd2 and non-Vd1Vd2 cells showed a large variation in gd T cell subsets between individual tumours, and we suggest that individual gd T cell composition in colon tumours may contribute to the balance between favourable and adverse immune responses, and thereby also patient outcome.

Exhausted intratumoral Vδ2- γδ T cells in human kidney cancer retain effector function [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Gamma delta (γδ) T cells reside within human tissues including tumors, but their role in mediating anti-tumor response with immune checkpoint inhibition is unknown. Using single-cell approaches, we found that kidney cancers are infiltrated by diverse Vδ2- γδ T cells, with equivalent representation of Vδ1+ and Vδ1- cells, that are distinct from γδ T cells found in normal human tissues. These tumor-resident Vδ2- T cells can express the transcriptional program of exhausted alpha beta (ab) CD8+ T cells as well as canonical markers of terminal T cell exhaustion including PD-1, TIGIT and TIM-3. While Vδ2- γδ T cells have blunted IL-2 production, they retain expression of cytolytic effector molecules and costimulatory receptors like 4-1BB. Exhausted Vδ2- γδ T cells are comprised of three distinct populations that lack TCF-7, are clonally expanded, express of cytotoxic molecules, and possess multiple Vδ2- TCRs. Human tumor-derived Vδ2- γδ T cells maintain cytotoxic function and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro. The transcriptional program of Vδ2- T cells in pre-treatment tumor biopsies predicted subsequent clinical responses to PD-1 blockade in vivo in cancer patients. Thus, Vδ2- γδ T cells within the tumor microenvironment can contribute to anti-tumor efficacy.

CD117, CD200 and CD371 identifies seven populations of γδ thymocytes programmed towards three distinct effector subsets in adult mice

Project description:Murine γδ T cells include several effector subsets that fulfil distinct functional roles. In pathological conditions, such as cancer, some γδ T cell subsets are highly protective whereas other subsets may exacerbate disease. γδ T cells are programmed for their effector function during their development in the thymus. Investigations of γδ T cell development have been hampered by the scarcity of surface markers distinguishing different development stages. In this study, we found that addition of CD117, CD200 and CD371 to existing markers, allowed identification of seven distinct development stages (named A, B, C, D, E, F and G) present in both the Vγ1.1+ and Vγ2+ thymocyte subsets. We provide evidence for the existence of three distinct pathways leading to export of γδ T cells, two of which express high levels of CD24. These pathways are dominated by different TCRδ repertoires shaped by TCR signalling or lack thereof. Each pathway express distinct cytokine and transcription factor profiles associated with γδT1, γδNKT and adaptive γδ T cells. Thus, the identification of additional γδ T cell development stages in this study connects three distinct development pathways to the programming of three γδ T cell effector subsets.

Long-lived central memory gamma delta T cells confer protection against murine cytomegalovirus reinfection

Project description:The involvement of γδ TCR-bearing lymphocytes in immunological memory has gained increasing interest due to their functional duality between adaptive and innate immunity. γδ T effector memory (TEM) and central memory (TCM) subsets have been identified, but their respective roles in memory responses are poorly understood. In the present study, we used subsequent mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infections of αβ T cell deficient mice in order to analyze the memory potential of γδ T cells. As for CMV-specific αβ T cells, MCMV induced the accumulation of cytolytic, KLRG1+CX3CR1+ γδ TEM that principally localized in infected organ vasculature. Typifying T cell memory, γδ T cell expansion in organs and blood was higher and more efficient after secondary viral challenge than after primary infection. Viral control upon MCMV reinfection was prevented when masking γδ T-cell receptor, and was associated with a preferential amplification of private and unfocused TCR δ chain repertoire composed of a combination of clonotypes expanded post-primary infection and, more unexpectedly, of novel expanded clonotypes. Finally, long-term-primed γδ TCM cells, but not γδ TEM cells, protected T cell-deficient hosts against MCMV-induced death upon adoptive transfer, probably through their ability to survive and to generate TEM in the recipient host. This better survival potential of TCM cells was confirmed by a detailed scRNASeq analysis of these two γδ T cell subsets which also revealed their similarity to classically adaptive αβ CD8 T cells. Overall, our study uncovered memory properties of long-lived TCM γδ T cells that confer protection in a chronic infection, highlighting the interest of this T cell subset in vaccination approaches.

High CD26 and low CD94 expression identifies an IL-23 responsive V(delta)2+ T cell subset with a MAIT cell-like transcriptional profile

Project description:In this study, we find that CD26 and CD94 co-expression identifies transcriptionally distinct V(delta)2+ T cell subsets that vary in cytokine-responsiveness and cytotoxic potential, with a direct relationship between the loss of CD26 surface expression and upregulation of GzmB. These subsets differ in the expression of key transcriptional regulators including Tbet, Eomes and Hobit, and exist independently of classical memory markers. Analysis of cord blood samples confirms that CD26+ V(delta)2+ T cells predominate at birth, and we find evidence that IL-23 exposure and CD26 ligation may contribute to the generation of CD26- cytotoxic V(delta)2+ T cells in adults.

TCR-Vγδ usage distinguishes pro- and anti-tumor intestinal γδ T cell subsets

Project description:γδ T cells represent a substantial fraction of intestinal lymphocytes at homeostasis, but also constitute a major lymphocyte population infiltrating colorectal cancers (CRC), albeit their role in CRC remains unclear. Using human CRC samples and murine CRC models, we found that most γδ T cells in pre- or non-tumor colon exhibit cytotoxic markers while tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells express a pro-tumorigenic profile. These contrasting T cell profiles were associated with distinct TCR-Vγδ gene-usage in both mice and humans. Complementary intersectional genetics and antibody-dependent strategies targeting murine γδ T cells enriched in the epithelium at steady state led to heightened tumor development, while targeting γδ subsets that accumulate during CRC resulted in reduced tumor growth. Our results uncover pro- and anti-tumor roles for γδ T cell subsets.
