Generating balanced populations of CD8+ effector and memory T cells is necessary for immediate and durable immunity to infections and cancer. Yet, a definitive understanding of how a diverse CD8+ T cell repertoire differentiates remains unclear. We identified several hundred T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes that constitute the polyclonal response against a single antigen and found that a majority of TCR clonotypes were highly biased toward memory or effector fates. TCR-intrinsic biases were not stochastic and were dominant over environmental cues. Differential gene expression analysis of memory- or effector-biased TCR clonotypes showed bifurcation of differential fates at the early effector stage. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis revealed that memory-biased clonotypes retain their fate preferences in subclonal populations but effector-biased subclones can switch to a memory fate. Our study highlights that the polyclonal CD8+ T cell response is a composite of unbiased and biased clonotypes with varying capacity to incorporate environmental cues in their cell fate decisions.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) predominantly occur in the bladder and can potentially progress into life-threatening sepsis if uropathogens spread unconstrainedly into the bloodstream. Here, we identified a subset of suburothelial perivascular macrophages (suPVMs) in the bladder that exerted a pivotal barrier function to prevent systemic bacterial dissemination during acute cystitis. During the initial phase of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) infection, suPVMs actively captured UPEC invading the laminal propria and maintained the integrity of inflamed vessels. They subsequently underwent METosis to expel macrophage extracellular DNA traps (METs) into the urothelium to sequester bacteria within this avascular compartment. Matrix metallopeptidase-13 was released along with METs to promote neutrophil transuroepithelial migration. Replenished suPVMs from monocytes following a prior infection were functionally competent to confer protection against recurrent UTIs. Our study thus uncovers a bladder-blood immune barrier in restraining uropathogen dissemination, which could have implications for the prevention and treatment of urosepsis.

The 2′,5′-oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)-RNase L pathway is a classical antiviral innate immune pathway. Upon sensing dsRNA, OAS produces 2′,5′-oligoadenylate (2-5A) as a second messenger to activate RNase L. Whether 2-5A can be transported to extend the reach of innate immune signaling has not been established. Here, we showed that 2-5A was transferred from cell to cell through connexin (CX43/CX45) gap junctions. 2-5A was also transferred through importers and exporters, allowing OAS to remotely activate RNase L and protect neighboring cells from viral infection. We identified ABCC10 as a 2-5A exporter. Loss of ABCC10 had no effect on 2-5A production but reduced 2-5A export and protection of neighboring cells. Furthermore, OAShi tumors such as MC38 naturally produced 2-5A in vivo, which was secreted via ABCC10 to activate host—not tumor—RNase L-mediated antitumor response. Therefore, 2-5A is an immunotransmitter that mediates short-range communication between cells in infection and cancer.

While recent work has identified roles for immune mediators in regulating neural activity, how innate immune signaling within neurons influences neurotransmission remains poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that the modulation of neurotransmission may serve important roles in host protection during infection of the central nervous system. Here, we showed that receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3) preserved neuronal survival during flavivirus infection through the suppression of excitatory neurotransmission. These effects occurred independently of the traditional functions of RIPK3 in promoting necroptosis and inflammatory transcription. Instead, RIPK3 promoted phosphorylation of the neuronal regulatory kinase calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), which in turn activated the transcription factor cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) to drive a neuroprotective transcriptional program and suppress deleterious glutamatergic signaling. These findings identify an unexpected function for a canonical cell death protein in promoting neuronal survival during viral infection through the modulation of neuronal activity, highlighting mechanisms of neuroimmune crosstalk.

The enteric nervous system is a key regulator of inflammation, crosstalking directly with the immune system at the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract. In this issue of Immunity, Wang and colleagues demonstrate that intrinsic enteric neurons (iENs) sense interleukin (IL)-13 to restrain group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activity during helminth infection, uncovering a novel neuro-immune-regulatory circuit.

In response to organ injury in adults, macrophages often promote scarring, yet during early life, they are required for tissue regeneration. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying age-associated regeneration, we compared the macrophage injury response in newborn versus adult hearts. Single-cell analysis revealed an accumulation of tissue-resident macrophages in neonates that were selectively polarized for apoptotic cell recognition and uptake (efferocytosis). Ablation of the apoptotic cell recognition receptor Mertk in newborns prevented cardiac regeneration. These findings could be attributed to reprogramming of macrophage gene expression that was required for biosynthesis of the eicosanoid thromboxane A2, which unexpectedly activated parenchymal cell proliferation. Markers of thromboxane A2 production were suppressed in adult macrophages after efferocytosis. Moreover, macrophage-neighboring neonatal cardiomyocytes expressed the thromboxane A2 receptor, whose activation induced a metabolic shift that supported cellular proliferation. Our data reveal a fundamental age-defined macrophage response in which lipid mitogens produced during efferocytosis support receptor-mediated tissue regeneration.
