Early-life thymectomy leads to an increase of granzyme-producing γδ T cells in children with congenital heart disease

ABSTRACT: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect in newborns, often requiring cardiac surgery with concomitant thymectomy that is known to increase disease susceptibility later in life. Studies of γδ T cells, which are one of the dominant T cells in the early fetal human thymus, are rare. Here, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the γδ T cell compartment via flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing in children and infants with CHD, who underwent cardiac surgery shortly after birth. A perturbation of the γδ T cell repertoire is evident and Vδ1 T cell numbers are reduced. However, those cells that are present, do retain cytotoxicity. In contrast, GZMA+CD28+CD161hi innate effector Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are found in higher proportions. TCR-seq identifies an increase in TRDJ3+ γδ T cell clones in children with CHD, but not in a confirmatory group of neonates prior to CHD surgery, which overall points to a persistence of fetal-derived effector γδ T cells in children with CHD.

Single-cell analysis of human fetal and post-natal γδ thymocytes reveals distinct functional programming.

Project description:Developmental thymic waves of innate-like and adaptive-like gd T cells have been described, but the current understanding of γδ T cell development is mainly limited to mouse models. Here, we combined single cell (sc) RNA gene expression and sc γδ T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing on fetal and pediatric γδ thymocytes in order to understand the ontogeny of human γδ T cells. Mature fetal γδ thymocytes were committed to either a type 1, a type 3 or type 2-like effector fate, independent from γδ T cell subset type (Vγ9Vδ2 vs nonVγ9Vδ2), and were enriched for public CDR3 features upon maturation. Strikingly, type 1, type 3 and type 2 cells expressed different CDR3 sequences and followed distinct developmental trajectories. In contrast, the pediatric thymus generated only a small effector subset that was highly biased towards Vγ9Vδ2 TCR usage and showed a mixed type 1/type 3 effector profile. Thus, our combined dataset of gene expression and detailed TCR information at the single-cell level defines γδ thymocyte development in human and provides a resource for further study.

Dysfunctional tumor-infiltrating Vδ1+ T lymphocytes in MSS colorectal cancer

Project description:Impairment and exhaustion of effector functions limiting a proper immune response have been reported for conventional T cells in chronic infection and cancer. However, the functional relevance of γδ T cells influenced by the tumor microenvironment in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear. Here, we identify and characterize a distinct population of Vδ1+ T cells in human microsatellite stable CRC. Using integrated gene expression analysis and ⍺β/γδ-T cell receptor sequencing, we demonstrate activated adaptive immune responses in Vδ1+ T cells in CRC, which are accompanied by perturbances of innate immunity. However, enhanced upregulation of exhaustion genes, altered effector and cell stress molecules in Vδ1+ T cells pinpoint to impaired γδ T cells in CRC compared to distant healthy colon. Cellular interaction analysis highlights a role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the dysregulation of Vδ1+ T cells in CRC. Immunophenotyping identified a distinct population of Vδ1+ T cells which dominates the γδ T cell subsets and displays a functionally impaired phenotype with a potential to be restored in vitro. These results define pathways operative in γδ T cells in CRC and provide a roadmap for harnessing γδ T cells for specific immunotherapeutic strategies.

Single cell RNA-seq reveals high heterogeneity among human γδ T cells.

Project description:Human γδ T cells take a small but important part in the immune system. Human γδ T cells are usually categorized by the V gene of their T cell receptor (TCR) δ chain; most of which are Vδ1+ or Vδ2+. Naive γδ T cells are often found from neonates and cytotoxic γδ T cells (γδCTLs) are frequent in adults. However, phenotypes and the developmental programs of human γδ T cells are not fully clear. Here, by single-cell RNA sequencing (sc-RNAseq) of transcriptome and T cell receptor (sc-TCRseq) on γδ T cells from neonates and adults, we revealed human γδ T cells can be divided as naïve T cells, γδCTLs, and γδNKT cells which are featured by pro-Vδ1, Vδ1, and Vδ2 TCR repertoire, respectively. γδNKT cells can be further described as γδNKT-1, γδNKT-2, and γδNKT-17 cells.

PD-1 defines a distinct, functional, tissue-adapted state in Vδ1+ T cells with implications for cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Checkpoint inhibition (CPI), particularly that targeting the inhibitory co-receptor, programmed cell death protein (PD-1), has transformed cancer care. Although CPI can de repress cancer antigen-specific αβ T cells that ordinarily show PD-1-dependent exhaustion, it can also be efficacious against cancers evading αβ T cell recognition. In such settings γδ T cells have been implicated, but the immunological significance of PD-1 expression by tissue associated human Vδ1+ cells remains uncharacterised. Here we demonstrate that a transcriptional signature of intratumoral Vδ1+ cells predicts response to anti-PD-1 in patients with melanomas of relatively low neoantigen load. Moreover, by employing a protocol yielding substantial numbers of human skin γδ cells, we show that PD-1+ Vδ1+ cells display a transcriptomic programme of tissue-residence, survival/self-renewal, and functional competence distinct from the canonical exhaustion programme of co-located PD- 1+ CD8+ αβ T cells. Indeed, skin PD-1+ Vδ1+ cells retained effector responses to T cell receptor signalling that were inhibitable by PD-1 engagement and partially derepressed by CPI. The biological and therapeutic implications are both discussed.

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.

Integration of Protein Interactome Data with Congenital Heart Disease Variants Reveals Disease Genes

Project description:Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) accounts for 1% of birth defects, and while large-scale genetic studies have uncovered genes associated with CHDs, identifying causal mutations remains a challenge. We hypothesized that genetic determinants for CHDs could be found in the protein interactomes of GATA4 and TBX5, two cardiac transcription factors (TFs) associated with CHDs. Defining their interactomes in human cardiac progenitors via affinity purification-mass spectrometry and integrating the results with genetic data from the Pediatric Cardiac Genomic Consortium (PCGC) revealed an enrichment of de novo variants among proteins that interact with GATA4 or TBX5. A consolidative score designed to prioritize TF interactome members based on distinctive variant, gene and proband features identified numerous likely CHD-causing genes, including the epigenetic reader GLYR1. GLYR1 and GATA4 widely co-occupied cardiac developmental genes resulting in co-activation and the GLYR1 variant associated with CHD disrupted interaction with GATA4. This integrative proteomic and genetic approach provides a framework for prioritizing and interrogating the contribution of genetic variants in CHD and can be extended to other genetic diseases.

Systems analysis of de novo mutations in congenital heart diseases identified a protein network in the hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Project description:Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are a class of birth defects affecting ~1% of live births. These conditions are hallmarked by extreme genetic heterogeneity, and therefore, despite a strong genetic component, only a very handful of at-risk loci in CHD have been identified. We herein introduced systems analyses to uncover the hidden organization on biological networks of genomic mutations in CHD, and leveraged network analysis techniques to integrate the human interactome, large-scale patient exomes, the fetal heart spatial transcriptomes, and single-cell transcriptomes of clinical samples. We identified a highly connected network in CHD where most of the member proteins had previously uncharacterized functions in regulating fetal heart development. While genes on the network displayed strong enrichment for heart-specific functions, a sub-group, active specifically at early developmental stages, also regulates fetal brain development, thereby providing mechanistic insights into the clinical comorbidities between CHD and neurodevelopmental conditions. At a small scale, we experimentally verified previously uncharacterized cardiac functions of several novel proteins employing cellular assays and gene editing techniques. At a global scale, our study revealed developmental dynamics of the identified CHD network and observed the strongest enrichment for pathogenic mutations in the network specific to hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Our single-cell transcriptome analysis further identified pervasive dysregulation of the network in cardiac endothelial cells and the conduction system in the HLHS left ventricle. Taken together, our systems analyses identified novel factors in CHD, revealed key molecular mechanisms in HLHS, and provides a generalizable framework readily applicable to studying many other complex diseases.

HAND1 knockdown disrupts trophoblast gene expression in vitro in Bewo cells

Project description:Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects nearly 1% of births annually, and neonatal and perinatal outcomes in cases of CHD are strongly impacted by pregnancy outcomes. CHD pregnancies carry increased risk of developing pathologies of abnormal placentation including fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and stillbirth. HAND1 is a gene associated with CHD. In this study, we aimed characterize the mechanistic impacts of disrupting HAND1 on human placenta trophoblast cell lines.
