Liver-resident memory CD8+ T cells form a front-line defense against malaria liver-stage infection.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, various intervention strategies have reduced malaria morbidity and mortality, but further improvements likely depend upon development of a broadly protective vaccine. To better understand immune requirement for protection, we examined liver-stage immunity after vaccination with irradiated sporozoites, an effective though logistically difficult vaccine. We identified a population of memory CD8+ T cells that expressed the gene signature of tissue-resident memory (Trm) T cells and remained permanently within the liver, where they patrolled the sinusoids. Exploring the requirements for liver Trm cell induction, we showed that by combining dendritic cell-targeted priming with liver inflammation and antigen recognition on hepatocytes, high frequencies of Trm cells could be induced and these cells were essential for protection against malaria sporozoite challenge. Our study highlights the immune potential of liver Trm cells and provides approaches for their selective transfer, expansion or depletion, which may be harnessed to control liver infections or autoimmunity.

Microarray comparing CMV-specific CD8+ T cells from liver sinusoid and peripheral blood

Project description:The liver is an immunologically unique organ in terms of the regulation of immuno-tolerance and immune responses. Recently, non-recirculating tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells expressing CD69 were found in various peripheral organs. In humans, a large population of CD69+CD8+ memory T cells residing in liver sinusoids shows reduced cytotoxicity. However, the trascriptional characteristics of human liver CD8+ T cells are still unknown. Therefore, we performed a microarray analysis to screen the gene expression profile in liver sinusoidal CD8+ T cells using CMV-specific CD8+ T cells from human peripheral blood and liver sinusoid.

Molecular signature of brain resident memory CD8+ T cells

Project description:Tissue resident memory (Trm) represent a newly described memory T cell population. We have previously characterized a population of Trm that persists within the brain following acute virus infection. Although capable of providing marked protection against a subsequent local challenge, brain Trm do not undergo recall expansion following dissociation from the tissue. Furthermore, these Trm do not depend on the same survival factors as the circulating memory T cell pool as assessed either in vivo or in vitro. To gain greater insight into this population of cells we compared the gene-expression profiles of Trm isolated from the brain to circulating memory T cells isolated from the spleen following an acute virus infection. Trm displayed altered expression of genes involved in chemotaxis, expressed a distinct set of transcription factors and overexpressed several inhibitory receptors. Cumulatively, these data indicates that Trm are a distinct memory T cell population disconnected from the circulating memory T cell pool and displaying a unique molecular signature which likely results in optimal survival and function within their local environment. 13 samples were analyzed: 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+.CD103- T cells isolated from the spleen of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA. 5 replicates of memory OT-I CD8+CD103+ T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA; and 3 replicates of memory OT-I.CD8+ CD103- T cells isolated from the brain of mice on day 20 p.i. with VSV-OVA

Altered infant T cell differentiation in infection or vaccination reduces lung tissue-resident memory generation

Project description:Infants suffer disproportionately from respiratory infections and generate reduced vaccine responses compared to adults, although underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In adult mice, lung-localized, tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) mediate optimal protection to respiratory pathogens. We hypothesized that reduced protection in infancy was due to impaired T effector localization and/or lung TRM establishment. Using an infant mouse model we demonstrate generation of lung-homing, virus-specific T effectors following influenza infection or live-attenuated vaccination, similar to adults. However, infection during infancy generated markedly fewer lung TRM and heterosubtypic protection was reduced compared to adults. Impaired TRM establishment was infant-T cell-intrinsic and infant effectors displayed distinct transcriptional profiles enriched for T-bet-regulated genes. Notably, mouse and human infant T cells exhibited increased T-bet expression following activation and reducing T-bet levels in infant mice enhanced lung TRM establishment. Our findings reveal that infant T cells are intrinsically programmed for short-term responses and targeting key regulators could promote long-term, tissue-targeted protection at this critical life stage.

Skin Resident Memory CD4+ T Cells Enhance Protection Against Leishmania Major Infection

Project description:Leishmaniasis causes a significant disease burden worldwide. Although Leishmania-infected patients become refractory to reinfection following disease resolution, effective immune protection has not yet been achieved by human vaccines. While circulating Leishmania-specific T cells are known to play a critical role in immunity, the role of memory T cells present in peripheral tissues has not been explored. Here, we identify a population of skin-resident Leishmania-specific memory CD4+ T cells. These cells produce IFNγ, and remain resident in the skin when transplanted by skin graft onto naïve mice. They function to recruit circulating T cells to the skin in a CXCR3 dependent manner, resulting in better control of the parasites. Our findings are the first to demonstrate that CD4+ TRM cells form in response to a parasitic infection, and indicate that optimal protective immunity to Leishmania, and thus the success of a vaccine, may depend on generating both circulating and skin-resident memory T cells. Two conditions were analyzed. For each condition, four mice were used, resulting in eight samples in total.

Effector TH17 cells give rise to long-lived TRM cells that are essential for an immediate response against bacterial infection

Project description:Mucosal barrier surfaces serve as the critical first line of defense separating our bodies from the plethora of pathogenic microorganisms that inhabit our environment. Adaptive immunity provides life-long protection through the generation of a central and effector memory T-cell pool, memory B cells and the recently described population of tissue resident memory cells (TRM). The cellular origin of TRM CD4 cells is unknown and the contribution of this CD4 memory population to host defense still remains elusive. By using IL-17A tracking-fate-mouse models we found that a significant fraction of the CD4 TRM cells derive from IL-17A producing effector (TH17) cells following primary immunization. Maintenance of these resting exTH17 TRM cells is mediated by IL-7, produced by lymphatic endothelial cells. During a memory response, we show that neither antibodies, nor gd T cells, nor circulatory memory T cells are sufficient for the rapid host defense required to eliminate the pathogen. Using parabiosis and depletion studies, we demonstrated that CD4 exTH17 TRM cells play an important role in respiratory defense and bacterial clearance. Upon infection, exTH17 TRM cells rapidly produce IL-17A and IFN-γ to promote neutrophil infiltration and bacterial clearance. These studies delineate the origin, function and importance of airway CD4 TRM cells during bacterial infection, offering novel strategies for targeted vaccine design, which is especially imperative for those pathogens that are resistant to antibiotic treatment.
