The interferon (IFN) response is vital for the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) therapy. Our previous research showed that KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral) mutation impairs the IFN response in colorectal cancer (CRC), with an unclear mechanism. Here, we demonstrate that KRAS accelerates double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) degradation, impairing dsRNA sensing and IFN response by down-regulating DExD/H-box helicase 6 (DDX60). DDX60 was identified as a KRAS target here and could bind to dsRNAs to protect against RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)–mediated degradation. Overexpressing DDX60 induced dsRNA accumulation, reactivated IFN signaling, and increased CRC sensitivity to ICI therapy. Mechanistically, KRAS engaged the AKT (also known as protein kinase B)–GSK3β (glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta) pathway to suppress STAT3 phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting STAT3-driven DDX60 transcription. Our findings reveal a role for KRAS in dsRNA homeostasis, suggesting potential strategies to convert “cold” tumors to “hot” and to overcome ICI resistance in CRC with KRAS mutations.

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) balances X-linked gene dosage between sexes. Unstimulated T cells lack cytological enrichment of X-inactive specific transcript (Xist) RNA and heterochromatic modifications on the inactive X chromosome (Xi), which are involved in maintenance of XCI, and these modifications return to the Xi after stimulation. Here, we examined allele-specific gene expression and epigenomic profiles of the Xi in T cells. We found that the Xi in unstimulated T cells is largely dosage compensated and enriched with the repressive H3K27me3 modification but not the H2AK119-ubiquitin (Ub) mark. Upon T cell stimulation mediated by both CD3 and CD28, the Xi accumulated H2AK119-Ub at gene regions of previous H3K27me3 enrichment. T cell receptor (TCR) engagement, specifically NF-κB signaling downstream of the TCR, was required for Xist RNA localization to the Xi. Disruption of NF-κB signaling in mouse and human T cells using genetic deletion, chemical inhibitors, and patients with immunodeficiencies prevented Xist/XIST RNA accumulation at the Xi and altered X-linked gene expression. Our findings reveal a previously undescribed connection between NF-κB signaling pathways, which affects XCI maintenance in T cells in females.
X 染色体失活(XCI)可平衡两性之间的 X 连锁基因剂量。未受刺激的T细胞缺乏细胞学富集的X-非活性特异性转录本(Xist)RNA和非活性X染色体(Xi)上的异染色质修饰,而这些修饰参与了XCI的维持。在这里,我们研究了T细胞中Xi的等位基因特异性基因表达和表观基因组图谱。我们发现,在未受刺激的 T 细胞中,Xi 在很大程度上受到剂量补偿,富含抑制性 H3K27me3 修饰,但不富含 H2AK119-泛素(Ub)标记。在 CD3 和 CD28 介导的 T 细胞刺激下,Xi 在先前 H3K27me3 富集的基因区域积累了 H2AK119-Ub。T细胞受体(TCR)的参与,特别是TCR下游的NF-κB信号,是Xist RNA定位到Xi的必要条件。利用基因缺失、化学抑制剂和免疫缺陷患者来破坏小鼠和人类 T 细胞中的 NF-κB 信号传导,可防止 Xist/XIST RNA 在 Xi 上的积累并改变 X 连锁基因的表达。我们的研究结果揭示了 NF-κB 信号通路之间以前未曾描述过的联系,这种联系会影响雌性 T 细胞中 XCI 的维持。

Dendritic cells (DCs) are uniquely capable of transporting tumor antigens to tumor-draining lymph nodes (tdLNs) and interact with effector T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) itself, mediating both natural antitumor immunity and the response to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. Using LIPSTIC (Labeling Immune Partnerships by SorTagging Intercellular Contacts)–based single-cell transcriptomics, we identified individual DCs capable of presenting antigen to CD4+ T cells in both the tdLN and TME. Our findings revealed that DCs with similar hyperactivated transcriptional phenotypes interact with helper T cells both in tumors and in the tdLN and that checkpoint blockade drugs enhance these interactions. These findings show that a relatively small fraction of DCs is responsible for most of the antigen presentation in the tdLN and TME to both CD4+ and CD8+ tumor–specific T cells and that classical checkpoint blockade enhances CD40-driven DC activation at both sites.

The intestinal mucosal surface is directly exposed to daily fluctuations in food and microbes driven by 24-hour light and feeding cycles. Intestinal epithelial tuft cells are key sentinels that surveil the gut luminal environment, but how these cells are diurnally programmed remains unknown. Here, we show that histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) controls tuft cell specification and the diurnal rhythm of its biogenesis, which is regulated by the gut microbiota and feeding schedule. Disruption of epithelial HDAC3 decreases tuft cell numbers, impairing antihelminth immunity and norovirus infection. Mechanistically, HDAC3 functions noncanonically to activate transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β) signaling, which promotes rhythmic expression of Pou2f3, a lineage-defining transcription factor of tuft cells. Our findings reveal an environmental-epigenetic link that controls the diurnal differentiation of tuft cells and promotes rhythmic mucosal surveillance and immune responses in anticipation of exogenous challenges.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory neurological disease of the central nervous system with a subclinical phase preceding frank neuroinflammation. CD8+ T cells are abundant within MS lesions, but their potential role in disease pathology remains unclear. Using high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell T cell receptor analysis, we compared CD8+ T cell clones from the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of monozygotic twin pairs in which the cotwin had either no or subclinical neuroinflammation (SCNI). We identified peripheral MS-associated immunological and metabolic alterations indicative of an enhanced migratory, proinflammatory, and activated CD8+ T cell phenotype, which was also evident in cotwins with SCNI and in an independent validation cohort of people with MS. Together, our in-depth single-cell analysis indicates a disease-driving proinflammatory role of infiltrating CD8+ T cells and identifies potential immunological and metabolic therapeutic targets in both prodromal and definitive stages of the disease.

Prolonging exposure to subunit vaccines during the primary immune response enhances humoral immunity. Escalating-dose immunization (EDI), administering vaccines every other day in an increasing pattern over 2 weeks, is particularly effective but challenging to implement clinically. Here, using an HIV Env trimer/saponin adjuvant vaccine, we explored simplified EDI regimens and found that a two-shot regimen administering 20% of the vaccine followed by the remaining 80% of the dose 7 days later increased TFH responses 6-fold, antigen-specific germinal center (GC) B cells 10-fold, and serum antibody titers 10-fold compared with bolus immunization. Computational modeling of TFH priming and the GC response suggested that enhanced activation/antigen loading on dendritic cells and increased capture of antigen delivered in the second dose by follicular dendritic cells contribute to these effects, predictions we verified experimentally. These results suggest that a two-shot priming approach can be used to substantially enhance responses to subunit vaccines.

Heat is a cardinal feature of inflammation, yet its impacts on immune cells remain uncertain. We show that moderate-grade fever temperatures (39°C) increased murine CD4 T cell metabolism, proliferation, and inflammatory effector activity while decreasing regulatory T cell suppressive capacity. However, heat-exposed T helper 1 (TH1) cells selectively developed mitochondrial stress and DNA damage that activated Trp53 and stimulator of interferon genes pathways. Although many TH1 cells subjected to such temperatures died, surviving TH1 cells exhibited increased mitochondrial mass and enhanced activity. Electron transport chain complex 1 (ETC1) was rapidly impaired under fever-range temperatures, a phenomenon that was specifically detrimental to TH1 cells. TH1 cells with elevated DNA damage and ETC1 signatures were also detected in human chronic inflammation. Thus, fever-relevant temperatures disrupt ETC1 to selectively drive apoptosis or adaptation of TH1 cells to maintain genomic integrity and enhance effector functions.
热是炎症的一个主要特征,但它对免疫细胞的影响仍不确定。我们的研究表明,中度发热温度(39°C)会增加小鼠 CD4 T 细胞的新陈代谢、增殖和炎症效应活性,同时降低调节性 T 细胞的抑制能力。然而,受热的 T 辅助细胞 1(T H 1)会选择性地出现线粒体应激和 DNA 损伤,从而激活 Trp53 和干扰素基因刺激因子通路。虽然在这种温度下许多 T H 1 细胞死亡,但存活下来的 T H 1 细胞线粒体质量增加,活性增强。电子传递链复合物 1(ETC1)在发热范围的温度下迅速受损,这种现象对 T H 1 细胞特别不利。在人类慢性炎症中也检测到 T H 1 细胞的 DNA 损伤和 ETC1 标志升高。因此,发烧相关温度会破坏 ETC1,从而选择性地驱动 T H 1 细胞凋亡或适应,以保持基因组完整性并增强效应功能。

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) enhances T cell responses against cancer, leading to long-term survival in a fraction of patients. CD8+ T cell differentiation in response to chronic antigen stimulation is highly complex, and it remains unclear precisely which T cell differentiation states at which anatomic sites are critical for the response to ICB. We identified an intermediate-exhausted population in the white pulp of the spleen that underwent substantial expansion in response to ICB and gave rise to tumor-infiltrating clonotypes. Increased systemic antigen redirected differentiation of this population toward a more circulatory exhausted KLR state, whereas a lack of cross-presented tumor antigen reduced its differentiation in the spleen. An analogous population of exhausted KLR CD8+ T cells in human blood samples exhibited diminished tumor-trafficking ability. Collectively, our data demonstrate the critical role of antigen density within the spleen for the differentiation and expansion of T cell clonotypes in response to ICB.
免疫检查点阻断(ICB)可增强T细胞对癌症的反应,从而使一部分患者长期存活。应对慢性抗原刺激的 CD8+ T 细胞分化非常复杂,目前仍不清楚哪些解剖部位的 T 细胞分化状态对 ICB 的反应至关重要。我们在脾脏白髓中发现了一个中间衰竭群体,它在对 ICB 作出反应时发生了大量扩增,并产生了肿瘤浸润克隆型。全身抗原的增加使这一群体向循环衰竭的 KLR 状态重新分化,而交叉呈现的肿瘤抗原的缺乏则减少了其在脾脏中的分化。人体血液样本中类似的枯竭 KLR CD8+ T 细胞群表现出较低的肿瘤牵引能力。总之,我们的数据证明了脾脏内的抗原密度对 T 细胞克隆型对 ICB 的分化和扩增起着至关重要的作用。
