Project description:Stem-like CD8+ T cells sustain the antigen-specific CD8+ T cell response during chronic antigen exposure. However, the signals that control the maintenance and differentiation of these cells are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that TGF-b was essential for the optimal maintenance of these cells and inhibited their differentiation into migratory effectors during chronic viral infection. Mechanistically, stem-like CD8+ T cells carried a unique expression pattern of a4 integrins (i.e., a4b1hi and a4b7lo) controlled by TGF-b. In the absence of TGF-b signaling, greatly enhanced expression of migration-related markers, including altered expression of a4 integrins led to enhanced egress of stem-like CD8+ T cells into the circulation accompanied by further differentiation into transitional states. Blocking a4 integrin significantly promoted their lymphoid tissue retention and therefore partially rescued the defective maintenance of Tcf-1+ subset in the absence of TGF-b signaling. Thus, TGF-b promotes the maintenance and inhibits the further differentiation of stem-like T cells at least partially via enforcing their lymphoid tissue residency.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide rapid and superior control of localized infections. The transcription factor Runx3 was recently identified as a master regulator of CD8+ T cell tissue residency. However, Runx3 also drives CD8+ T cell lineage commitment and is repressed in CD4+ T cells, raising the possibility that this transcription factor defines a form of tissue residency unique to the CD8+ T cell subset. Here, we show that as a direct consequence of Runx3-deficiency, CD4+ TRM cells in epithelia lack the TGFb-responsive transcriptional network that underpins CD8+ TRM cell residency. Ectopic Runx3 expression in CD4+ T cells rescued this transcriptional program to promote prolonged survival, decreased tissue egress and a microanatomical redistribution towards epithelial layers that combined, resulted in superior local immune protection. Our results thus reveal a mechanistic discordance between CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cell formation in barrier tissues that is controlled by Runx3. Consequently, CD4+ TRM cells are unable to adopt a type of tissue residency that is intrinsically accessible to the CD8+ TRM cell subset.

Project description:CD8+ T cells isolated from HCC tissue were divided into three groups: PD1-TIM3- CD8+ TILs, exhibiting full effector function; PD1-intTIM3+ CD8+ TILs, exhibiting partial exhaustion; and PD1-hiTIM3+ CD8+ TILs, exhibiting severe exhaustion, as reflected by the differences in their ability to produce effector cytokines respectively. Transcriptome sequence analysis was performed to investigate the gene expression profile was performed.

Project description:Pattens of tissue-residency differs between CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells in evironmentally exposed organs. The lineage-controlling transcription factor Runx3, expressed in CD8+ T cells, is responsible for shaping a tissue-resident gene network in response to the cytokine TGF-b. While the lack of Runx3 by CD4+ T cells precludes these transcriptional changes, Runx3-overexpression in CD+ T cells enable phenotypical, transcriptional and functional changes to allow residency.

Project description:Initially identified as a functional marker for resident-memory (Trm) CD8+ T cells, CD103 (encoded by ITGAE gene) has broad roles in immunity and diseases. Elucidating the function and regulation of CD103 is thus of importance. This study revealed that the CD103 expression by CD8 T cells under steady state contributes to the clearance of acute viral infection. More importantly, it discovered TGF-SKI-Smad4 a critical signaling axis in restricting CD103 expression in CD8+ T cells for their function. Mechanistically, by ChIP-Seq and ChIP analysis, SKI associated with Smad4 was found to directly and epigenetically suppress CD103 transcription. This study therefore reveals a novel TGF-SKI-Smad4 pathway to specifically enable CD103 expression in CD8+ T cells for protective immunity.

Project description:The transcription factor (TF) networks that regulate the differentiation of resident versus circulating memory CD8+ T cells are incompletely understood. Here we show that the TF Bcl11b restricts gut resident memory (Trm) cell differentiation, while promoting splenic T central memory (Tcm) and effector memory (Tem) cell differentiation. The reduction of Bcl11b-deficient splenic Tcm and Tem cells was not due to major alterations in their programs, but rather due to the increased homing of their precursors to the small intestine. However, Bcl11b-deficient resident memory precursor cells upregulated residency program, including the TFs Ahr and Prdm1 (encoding Blimp1), and downregulated Tcf7, which restricts the residency program and promotes tissue egress. Bcl11b directly bound at Ahr and Prdm1, as well as at Tcf7 genes. Abrogating Ahr and Prdm1, or restoration of Tcf7 expression in Bcl11b-deficient cells led to partial correction of the excessive resident memory cell differentiation. Functionally, Bcl11b-deficient memory CD8+ T cells had an impaired recall response, but anti-tumor immunity was increased in adoptive cell therapy. Bcl11b also repressed the residency program in human CD8+ T cells and human Bcl11b low tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes showed increased residency gene expression. Thus, Bcl11b plays a critical role in balancing the circulating and tissue residency programs and reveals a potential novel target for cancer immunotherapies.

Project description:Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide key adaptive immune responses in infection, cancer, and autoimmunity. However transcriptional heterogeneity of human intestinal TRM cells remains undefined. Here, we investigated transcriptional and functional heterogeneity of human TRM cells through study of donor-derived intestinal TRM cells from intestinal transplant recipients. Single-cell transcriptional profiling identified two distinct transcriptional states of CD8+ TRM cells, delineated by ITGAE and ITGB2 expression. We defined a transcriptional signature discriminating these two CD8+ populations, including differential expression of cytotoxicity- and residency-associated genes. Flow cytometry of recipient-derived cells infiltrating the graft and lymphocytes from healthy gut confirmed the two CD8+ TRM phenotypes. CD103+ CD8+ TRM cells produced IL-2, and demonstrated greater polyfunctional cytokine production, while β2-integrin+ CD69+ CD103- TRM cells had higher granzyme expression. Phenotypic and functional analysis of intestinal CD4+ T cells identified many parallels, including a distinct β2-integrin+ population. Together, these results describe the transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional heterogeneity of human intestinal CD4+ and CD8+ TRM cells.
