Abstract Some multilineage hemopoietic colonies contain, in addition to myeloid cells, T lymphocytes. These proliferate extensively in liquid suspension culture under the influence of a T cell growth factor provided by phytohemagglutinin-T cell-conditioned medium (PHA-TCM). The clonal origin of these myeloid and lymphoid components was investigated by determining the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) isoenzyme types of multilineage colonies grown from peripheral blood of 4 G6PD heterozygous normal volunteers. The G6PD assay is sufficiently sensitive to detect enzyme concentrations contributed by as few as 30 granulocytes and erythroblasts, 4–6 megakaryocytes, 2–3 macrophages, and 50–100 T cells. T cell components can be detected even if myeloid cells are present in 10–20-fold excess. A small number of multilineage colonies with T cells produced a single G6PD isoenzyme on direct analysis and after expansion in liquid culture. This observation supports the view of a common progenitor for myeloid and lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood of normal adults.

AbstractThe diversity of molecular states and cellular plasticity of immune cells within the glioblastoma environment remain poorly investigated. Here, we performed scRNA-sequencing of the immune compartment, mapping potential cellular interactions that lead to the exhausted phenotype of T cells. We identified Interleukin 10 response during T cell activation leading to the exhausted state. By use of an in-silico model, we explored cell-cell interactions and identified a subset of myeloid cells defined by high expression of HMOX1 driving T cell exhaustion. We showed a spatial correlation between T cell exhaustion and mesenchymal-like gene expression, co-located with HMOX1 expressing myeloid cells. Using human neocortical sections with myeloid cell depletion, we confirmed the functional interaction of myeloid and lymphoid cells, leading to the exhausted state of T cells. A comprehensive understanding of cellular states and plasticity of lymphoid cells in GBM aids in providing successful immunotherapeutic approaches.HighlightsLineage tracking of T cells reveal IL10 driven exhaustion in glioblastomaIn-silico modeling of spatial- and scRNA-sequencing identified a subset of HMOX1+ myeloid cells releasing IL10.T cell exhaustion is spatially enriched in mesenchymal-like tumor regions.Human neocortical sections with autograft T cell stimulation confirmed IL10 dependent T cell exhaustion in mesenchymal-like tumors.Visual Abstract

Abstract The diversity of molecular states and cellular plasticity of immune cells within the glioblastoma (GBM) environment remain poorly investigated. Here, we conduct deep transcriptional profiling of lymphoid and myeloid cell populations by scRNA-sequencing, map potential cellular interactions and cytokine responses that lead to the dysfunctional and exhausted phenotype of T cells. We identified Interleukin 10 (IL-10) response during T cell activation, which lead to a dysfunctional state of T cells. By the use of a novel method: The nearest functionally connected neighbor (NFCN), an in-silico model to explore cell-cell interaction, the dysfunctional/exhausted phenotype was found to be driven by subset of myeloid cells defined by high expression of HMOX1. By using spatial transcriptomic RNA-sequencing, we identified a correlation between T cell exhaustion and colocalized mesenchymal gene expression. We found that HMOX1 expressing myeloid cells occupying regions marked by T cell exhaustion. Using a human neocortical slice model with myeloid cell depletion we confirmed the functional interaction of myeloid and lymphoid cell leading to the dysfunctional state of T cells. A comprehensive understanding of cellular states and plasticity of lymphoid cells in GBM aids in providing successful immunotherapeutic approaches.

We have studied the expression of gelatinase A, gelatinase B, interstitial collagenase, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 in reactive lymphoid cells, as well as in a series of cell lines derived from neoplasms of B- and T-cell lineage. Using both Northern blot analysis and zymography, gelatinase B activity was detected by zymography in two Burkitt cell lines and in a tonsillar cell suspension, while gelatinase A and interstitial collagenase activities were not detected by either method. TIMP-1 expression was demonstrated by Northern blot analysis in the multipotential neoplastic K-562 cell line, the high grade Burkitt's B-cell lymphoma lines, isolated tonsillar B cells and at low levels in peripheral blood T cells, but was not expressed in any of the neoplastic T-cell lines or isolated peripheral blood B cells. In contrast, TIMP-2 expression was restricted to tissues containing cells of T-cell lineage with high levels being observed in the neoplastic T-cell lines and lower levels in normal peripheral blood T cells and hyperplastic tonsil. Expression of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 was confirmed at the protein level by reverse zymography and immunofluorescence assays using antihuman TIMP polyclonal antibodies. Expression of gelatinase B by the high grade B-cell Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines is consistent with previous findings in large cell immunoblastic lymphomas and indicates that this enzyme may play an important role in high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. TIMP expression correlated with cell lineage in that TIMP-1 was primarily observed in B cells and TIMP-2 was restricted to T cells.

Abstract Minor histocompatibility (MiHA) antigens induce CD8+ T-cell responses that mediate resistance to bone marrow engraftment in an MHC-identical, MiHA-disparate marrow transplant model, in which recipients are sensitized to donor antigens (BALB.B à B6BALB.B) prior to BMT. The H60 H antigen has been shown to dominate the immune response in B6 mice primed with BALB.B antigens (B6BALB.B). We initially sought to determine the distribution and partially characterize the phenotype of H60-specific CD8+ cells in the blood, spleen and marrow compartments of B6 mice primed with 3 x 107 BALB.B lymphoid cells and ≥3 weeks later boosted with 2 x 107 cells. An H60 tetramer (LTFNYRNL/H2-Kb) conjugated to PE was used to detect H60-specific CD8+ cells in these compartments. Eight days following the second immunization, the mean frequency of circulating H60-specific cells was 12.2% ± SE 0.88 of CD8+ cells (range: 5.6 – 20.5%). The frequency of splenic H60-specific CD8+ cells was equivalent to that of circulating antigen-specific cells, thus peripheral blood levels of H60-specific CD8+ cells appear to be representative of those resident in the spleen. Interestingly, in the marrow compartment, the frequency of H-60+ cells amongst the CD8 T cell population was higher compared to peripheral blood and spleen levels, suggesting that H60-specific CD8+ cells in this compartment may comprise both migrant cells from the periphery and resident cells in the marrow elicited during priming. In both BM and spleen, >90% of CD8+ H60+ cells expressed the memory phenotype(CD44+, Ly6C+) and as expected, did not express early activation markers (CD25, CD69). To mediate resistance to progenitor cell engraftment, H60-specific effector CD8+ cell must first survive the immediate post-BMT milieu in the hemopoietic compartments. To examine this question, B6BALB.B mice irradiated at 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 Gy were analyzed 24 hours later for the presence of H60-specific CD8+ cells in the spleen and marrow compartments. Although there was an expected irradiation dose-dependent decrease in absolute numbers of CD8+ H60+ cells in the two compartments, there was a dose-dependent increase in percent of CD8+ T cells expressing the H60 TCR in both compartments. This observation indicates enhanced survival of these antigen-specific CD8+ memory T cells post-conditioning. Preliminary results indicate that 24h post-BMT into 9.0 Gy TBI recipients, there was BrDU uptake in marrow and splenic CD8+H60+ T cells in B6BALB.B transplanted with 1 x 107 BALB.B BM-TCD. Approximately 80% of CD8+H60+ T cells in the marrow compartment of primed recipients of BALB.B cells exhibited proliferation by BrDU uptake. Thus, donor MiHA-disparate marrow grafts elicit antigen-driven proliferation early post-BMT by CD8+ memory T cells in both compartments consistent with the potential importance of these cells in mediating resistance against progenitor engraftment across these MiHA differences.

Homeostatic proliferation (HP) is a physiological process that reconstitutes the T cell pool after lymphopenia involving Interleukin-7 and 15 (IL-7 and IL-15), which are the key cytokines regulating the process. However, there is no evidence that these cytokines influence the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Since lymphopenia often accompanies autoimmune diseases, we decided to study the functional activity of Tregs stimulated by HP cytokines from patients with rheumatoid arthritis as compared with that of those from healthy donors. Since T cell receptor (TCR) signal strength determines the intensity of HP, we imitated slow HP using IL-7 or IL-15 and fast HP using a combination of IL-7 or IL-15 with anti-CD3 antibodies, cultivating Treg cells with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at a 1:1 ratio. We used peripheral blood from 14 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 18 healthy volunteers. We also used anti-CD3 and anti-CD3 + IL-2 stimulation as controls. The suppressive activity of Treg cells was evaluated in each case by the inhibition of the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ cells. The phenotype and proliferation of purified CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127lo cells were assessed by flow cytometry. The suppressive activity of the total pool of Tregs did not differ between the rheumatoid arthritis and healthy donors; however, it significantly decreased in conditions close to fast HP when the influence of HP cytokines was accompanied by anti-CD3 stimulation. The Treg proliferation caused by HP cytokines was lower in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients than in the healthy individuals. The revealed decrease in Treg suppressive activity could impact the TCR landscape during lymphopenia and lead to the proliferation of potentially self-reactive T cell clones that are able to receive relatively strong TCR signals. This may be another explanation as to why lymphopenia is associated with the development of autoimmune diseases. The revealed decrease in Treg proliferation under IL-7 and IL-15 exposure can lead to a delay in Treg pool reconstitution in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the case of lymphopenia.

In order to directly assess the distribution of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and their precursors (CTL-P) in the two major subsets of human T cells, we have used limiting dilution microculture systems to determine their frequencies. The two subsets were defined according to their reactivity (or lack thereof) with B9.4 monoclonal antibody (the specificity of which is similar, if not identical, to that of Leu 2b monoclonal antibody). Both B9+ and B9- cells obtained by sorting peripheral blood resting T cells using the fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) were assayed for total CTL-P frequencies in a microculture system that allows clonal growth of every T cell. As assessed by a lectin-dependent assay, approximately 30% of peripheral blood T cells were CTP-P. In the B9+ subset (which represents 20-30% of all T cells), the CTL-P frequency was close to 100%, whereas the B9- subset had a 25-fold lower CTL-P frequency. It is thus evident that 90% and 10% of the total CTL-P in peripheral blood are confined to the B9+ or B9- T cell subsets, respectively. Analysis of the subset distribution of CTL-P directed against a given set of alloantigens confirmed these findings. CTL-P frequencies were also determined in B9+ and B9- subsets derived from T cells that had been activated in allogenic mixed leucocyte cultures (MLC). Approximately 10% of MLC T cells were CTL-P. This frequency was increased 3.5-fold in the B9+ subset, whereas the B9- subset contained only a small, although detectable number of CTL-P. Moreover, the great majority of the (operationally defined) CTL-P in MLC T cell population were found to be directed against the stimulating alloantigens, thus indicating a dramatic increase in specific CTL-P frequencies following in vitro stimulation in bulk cultures.

ABSTRACT Previously we have shown that CD8+ T cells are critical for containment of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) viremia and that rapid and profound depletion of CD4+ T cells occurs in the intestinal tract of acutely infected macaques. To determine the impact of SIV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses on the magnitude of the CD4+ T-cell depletion, we investigated the effect of CD8+ lymphocyte depletion during primary SIV infection on CD4+ T-cell subsets and function in peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and intestinal tissues. In peripheral blood, CD8+ lymphocyte-depletion changed the dynamics of CD4+ T-cell loss, resulting in a more pronounced loss 2 weeks after infection, followed by a temporal rebound approximately 2 months after infection, when absolute numbers of CD4+ T cells were restored to baseline levels. These CD4+ T cells showed a markedly skewed phenotype, however, as there were decreased levels of memory cells in CD8+ lymphocyte-depleted macaques compared to controls. In intestinal tissues and lymph nodes, we observed a significantly higher loss of CCR5+ CD45RA− CD4+ T cells in CD8+ lymphocyte-depleted macaques than in controls, suggesting that these SIV-targeted CD4+ T cells were eliminated more efficiently in CD8+ lymphocyte-depleted animals. Also, CD8+ lymphocyte depletion significantly affected the ability to generate SIV Gag-specific CD4+ T-cell responses and neutralizing antibodies. These results reemphasize that SIV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses are absolutely critical to initiate at least partial control of SIV infection.
