Project description:Tissue-resident memory (TRM) T cells are emerging as critical components of the immune response to cancer; yet, requirements for their ongoing function and maintenance remain unclear. Antigen presenting cells (APC) promote TRM cell differentiation and re-activation but have not been implicated in sustaining TRM cell responses. Here, we identified a novel role for dendritic cells in supporting tissue resident memory to melanoma. We showed that CD8 TRM cells remain in close proximity to dendritic cells in the skin. Depletion of CD11c+ cells results in rapid disaggregation and eventual loss of melanoma-specific TRM cells. Additionally, we determined that TRM migration and/or persistence requires chemotaxis and adhesion mediated by the CXCR6/CXCL16 axis. The interaction between CXCR6-expressing TRM cells and CXCL16-expressing APCs was found to be critical for sustaining TRM cell-mediated tumor protection. These findings substantially expand our knowledge of APC functions in tissue resident memory T cell homeostasis and longevity.

Project description:We performed whole transcriptome analysis of the ampullae, the primary site of EAV persistence, derived from long-term carrier stallions to understand the molecular signature of persistent infection. We demonstrated that long-term persistence is characterized by a local CD8+ T lymphocyte response predominantly driven by the transcription factors EOMES and NFATC2.We showed that EAV persistence is associated with an enhanced expression of CXCL16/CXCR6 in infiltrating lymphocytes. Furthermore, we established a link between the CXCL16 genotype and the gene expression profile at the site of persistence following EAV infection. Co-expression network analysis identified CXCL16 as a “hub” gene, likely driving a specific transcriptional network.

Project description:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against tumors are maintained by stem-like memory cells that self-renew, but also give rise to effector-like cells. The latter gradually lose their anti-tumor activity and acquire an epigenetically fixed, hypofunctional state, leading to tumor tolerance. Here, we show that the conversion of stem-like into effector-like CTL involves a major chemotactic reprogramming that includes the upregulation of chemokine receptor CXCR6. This receptor positions effector-like CTL in a discrete perivascular niche of the tumor stroma that is densely occupied by CCR7+ dendritic cells (DC) expressing the CXCR6 ligand CXCL16. CCR7+ DC also express and trans-present the survival cytokine IL-15. CXCR6 expression and IL-15 trans-presentation are critical for the survival and local expansion of effector-like CTL in the tumor microenvironment to maximize their anti-tumor activity before progressing to irreversible dysfunction. These observations reveal a cellular and molecular checkpoint that determines the magnitude and outcome of anti-tumor immune responses.

Project description:Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most challenging subtype of breast cancer because of its aggressive behavior and the limited therapeutic strategies available. In the last decade, immunotherapy has become a promising treatment to prolong survival in advanced solid cancers including TNBC. However, the efficacy of immunotherapy in solid cancers remains limited because solid tumors contain few tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Methods A proteome profiler array was performed to identify secreted CXCL16 protein, the expression of which is regulated by ELK3 to control natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity. The correlation between ELK3 and CXCL16 was investigated by microarray and TCGA data analysis. NK cell cytotoxicity and migration assays were performed to examine the role of ELK3-CXCL16 in regulating the anticancer effect in TNBC. CXCL16-mediated NK cell recruitment and NK cell cytotoxicity were examined in an experimental metastasis mouse model and in an MDA-MB231 orthotopic mouse model. Results We show that targeting the ETS transcription factor ELK3 recruits immune cells including NK cells into tumors via the chemotactic activity of the chemokine. ELK3 depletion upregulated CXCL16 expression, thereby inducing NK cell recruitment to tumors and increasing NK cell cytotoxicity in TNBC . In silico analysis showed that ELK3 is negatively correlated with CXCL16 expression in breast cancer patient samples. Low expression of ELK3 and high expression of CXCL16 were associated with a better prognosis. Low expression of ELK3 and high expression of CXCL16 were associated with increased expression of NK cell-related genes. Conclusions The ELK3-CXCL16 axis regulates NK cell recruitment and increases NK cell cytotoxicity, suggesting that targeting the ELK3 gene could be an adjuvant strategy for increasing the efficacy of immunotherapy in TNBC.

Project description:This study aimed to further our understanding of the role that CXCR6 plays in breast cancer progression. Microarrays were searched for some genes that had correlated expression with CXCR6 mRNA. According to fold-change screening between restoring expression of CXCR6 and its respective control cells in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, both up-regulated and down-regulated genes were shown. The restoring of CXCR6 expression in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were respectively noted as MDA-MB-231-CXCR6 and MCF-7-CXCR6 cells and the respective controls were noted as MDA-MB-231-GFP and MCF-7-GFP cells.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging RNA viruses that target the central nervous system (CNS) lead to cognitive sequelae in survivors. Studies in humans and mice infected with West Nile virus (WNV), a re-emerging RNA virus associated with learning and memory deficits, revealed microglial-mediated synapse elimination within the hippocampus. Moreover, CNS-resident memory T (TRM) cells activate microglia, limiting synapse recovery and inducing spatial learning defects in WNV-recovered mice. The signals involved in T cell-microglia interactions are unknown.MethodsHere, we examined immune cells within the murine WNV-recovered forebrain using single-cell RNA sequencing to identify putative ligand-receptor pairs involved in intercellular communication between T cells and microglia. Clustering and differential gene analyses were followed by protein validation and genetic and antibody-based approaches utilizing an established murine model of WNV recovery in which microglia and complement promote ongoing hippocampal synaptic loss.ResultsProfiling of host transcriptome immune cells at 25 days post-infection in mice revealed a shift in forebrain homeostatic microglia to activated subpopulations with transcriptional signatures that have previously been observed in studies of neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, CXCL16/CXCR6, a chemokine signaling pathway involved in TRM cell biology, was identified as critically regulating CXCR6 expressing CD8+ TRM cell numbers within the WNV-recovered forebrain. We demonstrate that CXCL16 is highly expressed by all myeloid cells, and its unique receptor, CXCR6, is highly expressed on all CD8+ T cells. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we demonstrate that CXCL16/CXCR6 not only is required for the maintenance of WNV-specific CD8 TRM cells in the post-infectious CNS, but also contributes to their expression of TRM cell markers. Moreover, CXCR6+CD8+ T cells are required for glial activation and ongoing synapse elimination.ConclusionsWe provide a comprehensive assessment of the role of CXCL16/CXCR6 as an interaction link between microglia and CD8+ T cells that maintains forebrain TRM cells, microglial and astrocyte activation, and ongoing synapse elimination in virally recovered animals. We also show that therapeutic targeting of CXCL16 in mice during recovery may reduce CNS CD8+ TRM cells.

Project description:CXCL16 is a multifunctional chemokine that is highly expressed by macrophages and other immune cells in response to bacterial and viral pathogens; however, little is known regarding the role of CXCL16 during parasitic infections. The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis. Even though chemokine production is a host defense mechanism during infection, subversion of the host chemokine system constitutes a survival strategy adopted by the parasite. Here, we report that L. donovani promastigotes upregulate CXCL16 synthesis and secretion by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). In contrast to wild-type parasites, a strain deficient in the virulence factor lipophosphoglycan (LPG) failed to induce CXCL16 production. Consistent with this, cell treatment with purified L. donovani LPG augmented CXCL16 expression and secretion. Notably, the ability of BMDM to promote migration of cells expressing CXCR6, the cognate receptor of CXCL16, was augmented upon L. donovani infection in a CXCL16- and LPG-dependent manner. Mechanistically, CXCL16 induction by L. donovani required the activity of AKT and the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) but was independent of Toll-like receptor signaling. Collectively, these data provide evidence that CXCL16 is part of the inflammatory response elicited by L. donovani LPG in vitro Further investigation using CXCL16 knockout mice is required to determine whether this chemokine contributes to the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Project description:DC are professional APCs that initiate and regulate adaptive immune responses by interacting with naïve and memory T cells. Chemokines released by DC play an essential role in T cell recruitment and in the maintenance of antigen-specific T cell-DC conjugates. Here, we characterized the expression of the T cell-attracting chemokine CXCL16 by murine DC. We demonstrate that through alternative RNA splicing, DC not only express the previously characterized transmembrane CXCL16 isoform, which can be cleaved from the cell surface, but also a novel isoform lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. Transfection of HEK293 cells shows that this novel isoform, termed CXCL16v, is not expressed on the cell membrane but is secreted as a protein of approximately 10 kDa. Quantitative PCR demonstrates that CXCL16v is broadly expressed in lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues resembling the tissue distribution of DC. Indeed, CXCL16v mRNA is expressed significantly by spleen DC and BM-DC. Moreover, we show that mature DC have increased CXCL16v mRNA levels and express transmembrane and soluble CXCL16 proteins. Finally, we show that CXCL16v specifically attracts cells expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR6. Our data demonstrate that mature DC express secreted, transmembrane, and cleaved CXCL16 isoforms to recruit and communicate efficiently with CXCR6(+) lymphoid cells.
