Functional characterization of human T cell hyporesponsiveness induced by CTLA4-Ig

ABSTRACT: During activation, T cells integrate multiple signals from APCs and cytokine milieu. The blockade of these signals can have clinical benefits as exemplified by CTLA4-Ig, which blocks interaction of B7 co-stimulatory molecules on APCs with CD28 on T cells. Variants of CTLA4-Ig, abatacept and belatacept are FDA approved as immunosuppressive agents in arthritis and transplantation whereas murine studies suggested that CTLA4-Ig can be beneficial in a number of other diseases. However, detailed analysis of human CD4 cell hyporesponsivness induced by CTLA4-Ig has not been performed. Herein, we established a model to study effect of CTLA4-Ig on the activation of human naïve T cells in a human mixed lymphocytes system. Comparison of human CD4 cells activated in the presence or absence of CTLA4-Ig, showed that co-stimulation blockade during TCR activation does not affect NFAT signaling but results in decreased activation of NF-kB and AP-1 transcription factors followed by profound decrease in proliferation and cytokine production. The resulting T cells become hyporesponsive to secondary activation and, although capable of receiving TCR signals, fail to proliferate or produce cytokines, demonstrating properties of anergic cells. However, unlike some models of T cell anergy, these cells did not possess increased levels of TCR signaling inhibitor CBLB. Rather, the CTLA4-Ig induced hyporesponsiveness was associated with an elevated level of p27kip1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor.

Differential Kinetics of Antigen Dependency of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells

Project description:Ag recognition via the TCR is necessary for the expansion of specific T cells that then contribute to adaptive immunity as effector and memory cells. Because CD4+ and CD8+ T cells differ in terms of their priming APCs and MHC ligands we compared their requirements of Ag persistence during their expansion phase side by side. Proliferation and effector differentiation of TCR transgenic and polyclonal mouse T cells were thus analyzed after transient and continuous TCR signals. Following equally strong stimulation, CD4+ T cell proliferation depended on prolonged Ag presence, whereas CD8+ T cells were able to divide and differentiate into effector cells despite discontinued Ag presentation. CD4+ T cell proliferation was neither affected by Th lineage or memory differentiation nor blocked by coinhibitory signals or missing inflammatory stimuli. Continued CD8+ T cell proliferation was truly independent of self-peptide/MHC-derived signals. The subset divergence was also illustrated by surprisingly broad transcriptional differences supporting a stronger propensity of CD8+ T cells to programmed expansion. These T cell data indicate an intrinsic difference between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells regarding the processing of TCR signals for proliferation. We also found that the presentation of a MHC class II–restricted peptide is more efficiently prolonged by dendritic cell activation in vivo than a class I bound one. In summary, our data demonstrate that CD4+ T cells require continuous stimulation for clonal expansion, whereas CD8+ T cells can divide following a much shorter TCR signal.

Expression data from antigen-presenting cells (APCs)

Project description:P25 is the major T cell epitope for Ag85B and enables them to induce P25-specific CD4+ Th1 cells. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) stimulated with P25 and P25-specific CD4+ T cells. Splenic APCs from WT mice were cultured with P25 or medium in the presence of P25 TCR CD4+ T cells. After overnight culture, these APCs were enriched and total RNA was prepared using RNeasy (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Mixed total RNA from three independent experiments was used for microarray analysis.

Molecular patterns of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has improved outcome for patients with metastatic melanoma but not all benefit from treatment. Several immune- and tumor intrinsic features are associated with clinical response at baseline. However, we need to further understand the molecular changes occurring during development of ICB resistance. Here, we collected biopsies from a cohort of 44 melanoma patients after progression to anti-CTLA4 or anti-PD1 monotherapy. Genetic alterations of antigen presentation and interferon gamma signaling pathways were observed in approximately 25% of ICB resistant cases. Anti-CTLA4 resistant lesions had a sustained immune response, including immune-regulatory features, as suggested by multiplex spatial and TCR clonality analyses. One anti-PD1 resistant lesion harbored a distinct immune cell niche, however, anti-PD1 resistant tumors were generally immune poor with non-expanded TCR clones. Such immune poor microenvironments were associated with melanoma cells having a de-differentiated phenotype lacking expression of MHC-I molecules. In addition, anti-PD1 resistant tumors had reduced fractions of PD1+ CD8+ T cells as compared to ICB naïve metastases. Collectively, these data show the complexity of ICB resistance and highlight differences between anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 resistance that may underlie differential clinical outcomes of therapy sequence and combination.

VISTA is an activating receptor that binds the proteoglycan Syndecan-2 on monocytes.

Project description:As indicated by its name, V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is thought to primarily serve as an inhibitory protein that limits immune responses. VISTA-antibodies can dampen the effects of several concomitantly elicited activation signals including T cell receptor (TCR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, but it is currently unclear if VISTA agonism could singly affect immune cell biology. In this study, we discovered two novel agonistic VISTA antibodies and characterized their effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by scRNA/CITE-seq. Both antibodies agonize VISTA in an Fc-functional manner to elicit transcriptional and functional changes in monocytes consistent with activation. We also used pentameric VISTA to identify Syndecan-2 (Sdc2) and several heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) synthesis genes as novel regulators of VISTA binding to monocytic cells adding further evidence of bidirectional signaling. Together, our study highlights several novel aspects of VISTA biology that have yet to be uncovered in myeloid cells and serves as a foundation for future research.

High-throughput Ig and TCR repertoire single-cell sequencing analysis in rhesus macaques

Project description:Recent advancements in microfluidics and high-throughput sequencing technologies have enabled recovery of paired heavy- and light- chain of immunoglobulins (Ig) and VDJ- and VJ- chains of T cell receptors (TCR) from thousands of single cells simultaneously. Due to the complexity of these polyclonal receptors, for many species single-cell immune repertoire sequencing assays are not yet commercially available. Rhesus macaques are one of the most well-studied model organisms of the human adaptive immune response; application of these new immune repertoire sequencing assays is highly relevant to vaccine and infectious disease studies. Here we use custom designed primers to target and enrich for every known Ig and TCR chain and isotype in the rhesus macaque animal model. We sequenced more than 110,000 cell barcodes from rhesus macaque repertoires using PBMC, splenocyte, and FACS-sorted T and B cell. We were able to recover every Ig and TCR isotype, measure clonal expansion in proliferating T cells, and pair repertoires with gene expression profiles of single cells. Our results establish the ability to perform single-cell based immune repertoire analysis in rhesus macaque.
