Project description:Virtual memory T (TVM) cells are a T-cell subtype that exhibit a memory phenotype without prior exposure to a foreign antigen. Although several recent studies suggest that TVM cells exert anti-viral and anti-bacterial function, pathological roles of TVM cells causing inflammatory diseases have not been studied. Here, we identified a novel CD8+ T-cell subset (CD44s-hiCD49dlo CD8+ T cells), which is originated from TVM cells and can cause a chronic inflammatory disease, alopecia areata (AA). In the skin of alopecic mice, we detected a distinct TVM-cell subpopulation characterized by superior expression of CD44 and features of tissue residency, which was transcriptionally, phenotypically, and functionally distinct from conventional CD8+ TVM cells. Mechanistically, this cell population could be induced from conventional TVM cells by IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18 stimulation. Moreover, the pathological activity of CD44s-hiCD49dlo CD8+ T cells was mediated by NKG2D-depedent innate-like cytotoxicity against target cells, which was further augmented by IL-15 stimulation and triggered the onset of disease. Collectively, our results suggest a new immunological mechanism through which TVM cells can cause chronic inflammatory disease by innate-like cytotoxicity.

Project description:Effects of IL-4 on CD8 T cells functions are largely unknown. IL-4 induces survival and proliferation of CD8 T cells, but several studies suggest that IL-4 could also affect several functions of CD8 T cells such as cytotoxicity. Our team has shown that IL-4 repress the expression of Ccl5 in vitro. To define more precisely the impact of IL-4 on CD8 T cells, we performed a whole genome expression microarray analysis of naive and memory CD8 T cells cultured in presence or absence of IL-4. This approach allowed us to define the IL4-gene-expression signature on CD8 T cells. 18 samples were processed. Two populations of F5 naive CD8 T cells were FACS-sorted: samples from each population were incubated 20 hours with IL-7 in presence or absence of IL-4. Thus, a total of 6 “Naive” samples were processed. In addition, 4 populations of F5 TIM memory CD8 T cells were FACS-sorted: samples from 2 of these populations were incubated 20 hours in presence of IL-7 and/or IL-4, or in medium alone. Thus, 12 “Memory” samples were processed.

Project description:We found a unique subset of effector memory (EM) CD8+ T cells that expressed high levels of IL-6 receptor in human peripheral blood. These cells which also expressed high levels of IL-7Ra (referred to as IL-6R high IL-7Rahigh cells) had the a distinct gene expression profile and cellular characteristics compared to other EM CD8+ T cells. IL-6R high IL-7Ra high cells were early differentiated EM CD8+ T cells with decreased expression of T-bet, KLRG1, perforin and granzyme B. These cells had increased cell proliferation likely secondary to enhanced IL-2 production and high affinity IL-2R expression. IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells exclusively produced high levels of IL-2, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13 although IFN-r was produced by this cell subset and other EM CD8+ T cells. Of interest, IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells expanded in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma where CD8+ T cells, IL-13 and IFN-r are suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis. Being the early-differentiated EM CD8+ T cells with a potent capacity to proliferate, survive and generate multiple cytokines, IL-6R high IL-7Ra high EM CD8+ T cells may serve as a primary reservoir for effector CD8+ T cells which potently expand and produce cytokines upon immune stimulation. Duplicate experiments were performed for each condition. In each condition, we independently prepared total RNA using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and assessed RNA integrity using Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent)- RINs were close to 10 for all samples. RNA was then amplified and hybridized to the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4.0 BeadChip, according to Illumina standard protocols.

Project description:A primary immune response is typically initiated in secondary lymphoid organs. Virtual memory CD8+ T (TVM) cells are antigen-inexperienced T cells of a central-memory phenotype, acquired through self antigen-driven homeostatic proliferation. Unexpectedly, here we find that, TVM cells are composed of CCR2+ and CCR2- subsets that differentially elaborate a spectrum of effector- and memory-poised functions directly in the tissue. During a primary flu infection, TVM cells rapidly infiltrate the lung in the first day and execute early viral control. TVM cells that recognize viral antigen are retained in the tissue, clonally expand independent of secondary lymphoid organs, and preferentially give rise to tissue-resident memory cells. By orchestrating an extra-lymphoid primary response, heterogenous TVM cells bridge innate reaction and adaptive memory directly in the infected tissue.

Project description:The goal of this study is to characterize the transcriptional profile of three memory CD8 T cell subsets: IL-7Rα+KLRG1- (memory precursors, MP), IL-7Rα+KLRG1+ (KLRG1+ MP) and IL-7Rα-KLRG1+ (terminal effectors, TE).

Project description:“Memory-like T cells” are a subset of thymic cells that acquire effector function through the maturation process rather than interaction with specific antigen. Disruption of genes encoding T cell signaling proteins or transcription factors have provided insights into the differentiation of such cells. We show here that in BALB/c but not C57BL/6 mice, a large portion of thymic CD4-CD8+ T cells exhibit a memory-like phenotype. In BALB/c mice, IL-4 secreted by invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells is both essential and sufficient for the generation of memory-like T cells. In C57BL/6 mice, iNKT cells are less abundant, producing IL-4 that is insufficient to induce thymic memory-like CD8+ T cells. BALB/c mice deficient in the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor (KLF) 13 have comparable numbers of iNKT cells to C57BL/6 mice and extremely low levels of thymic memory-like CD8+ T cells. This work documents the dramatic impact of a small number of KLF13-dependent iNKT cells. FACS-sorted naive splenic CD8 T cells from wild type and KLF13 ko mice were compared.
