Active STAT5 in CD8 T cells imprints a T-Bet-dependent Tc-1 program with repressed IL-6/ TGFb1 signaling leading to enhanced anti-tumor responses
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: CD8 T cells (TCs) expressing active STAT5 (STAT5CA) transcription factors were found to be superior to un-manipulated counterparts in their long-term persistence, capacity to infiltrate a tumor, thrive in its microenvironment and induce its regression. STAT5CA induced sustained expression of genes controlling tissue homing, cytolytic granule composition, Tc-1-associated effector molecules (GranzymeB+/IFNg+/TNFa+/CCL3+ but IL-2-) and potential for secondary responses. Sustained expression of both T-Bet and Eomes transcription factors was correlated with STAT5 binding to their corresponding genes by ChIPSeq analyses. Additionally, STAT5CA-expressing CD8 TCs demonstrated reduced IL-6R/TGFbRII expression and dampened IL-6 and TGFb1 signaling. Altogether, concerted STAT5/T-Bet/Eomes regulation controls homing, recall responses and resistance to Tc-17 polarization in CD8 TCs.
