Project description:Chronic viral hepatitis after infection with hepatotropic viruses like hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects 300 million persons worldwide, which as the result of chronic immune-mediated hepatic inflammation cause liver cirrhosis and cancer being responsible for 800.000 deaths per year3. Chronic viral hepatitis is maintained by failure of the host´s immune response to control viral infection, but the mechanisms for this inability of virus-specific CD8 T cells to eliminate HBV-infected hepatocytes remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that during persistent experimental infection with hepatotropic viruses and HBV replication in hepatocytes all virus-specific CD8 T cells present in the liver expressed the tissue-residency markers CXCR6 and CD69. However, RNAseq analysis revealed that CXCR6+CD8 T cells during persistent hepatotropic infection were retained in the liver because of antigen-recognition rather than a transcriptional tissue-residency program, in contrast to canonical liver-resident memory CXCR6+CD8 T cells emerging after resolved infection. Whereas during persistent infection with a model virus like lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus with broad tissue and cell tropism exhausted CD8 T cells show graded loss of effector functions, hepatic virus-specific CXCR6+CD8 T cells during persistent infection with hepatotropic viruses were blinded and completely non-responsive to stimulation in absence of a canonical tox exhaustion signature. Rather, in blinded liver CXCR6+CD8 T cells, transcription factor network analysis revealed Crem, the cAMP-responsive-element-modulator, as the only transcription factor discreetly active in CD8 T cells with complete loss of effector function during persistent hepatotropic infection. Similarly, single cell RNA-sequencing of peripheral blood HBcore-specific CD8 T cells from chronic hepatitis B patients also revealed enhanced CREM activity. Notably, knock-out of the inhibitory CREM/ICER gene in T cells failed to rescue protective T cell immunity during persistent infection with hepatotropic viruses pointing towards post-translational mechanisms relevant for enhanced Crem activity and loss of effector function. Indeed, T cell receptor-associated signalling was blocked in blinded antigen-specific CXCR6+CD8 T cells, that in situ during persistent hepatotropic infection were in close proximity to liver sinusoidal endothelial cells producing high amounts of cAMP-inducing prostanoids. Inhibitory cAMP/PKA/CSK activity increased CREM activity and disconnected CXCR6+CD8 T cells from activation signalling through the T cell receptor. Thus, enhanced CREM expression identifies blinded liver CXCR6+CD8 T cells, but loss of effector functions is caused by post-translational prevention of signalling, which identifies novel molecular targets for immune monitoring and immune therapy of chronic hepatitis B.
