Abstract: Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells (Trm) provide host protection through continuous surveillance of non-lymphoidtissues. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and genetic reporter mice, weidentified discrete lineages of intestinal antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, including a Blimp1hiId3lo tissue-resident effector cell population most prominent in the early phase of acuteviral and bacterial infections and a molecularly distinct Blimp1loId3hi tissue-resident memory population that subsequently accumulated at later infectiontime points. These Trm populations exhibited distinct cytokine production, secondarymemory potential, and transcriptional programs including differential roles for transcriptionalregulators Blimp1, T-bet, Id2, and Id3 in supporting and maintaining intestinal Trm.Extending our analysis to malignant tissue, we also identified discrete populationsof effector-like and memory-like CD8+ T cell populations with tissue-resident gene-expression signatures that shared featuresof terminally exhausted and progenitor-exhausted T cells, respectively. Our findingsprovide insight into the development and functional heterogeneity of Trm cells, whichhas implications for enhancing vaccination and immunotherapy approaches.
