多模式刺激筛选揭示限制T细胞适应性的独特基因和共有基因

荷兰癌症研究所Daniel S. Peeper团队发现,多模式刺激筛选揭示限制T细胞适应性的独特基因和共有基因。相关论文于2024年3月14日在线发表在《癌细胞》杂志上。

研究人员在原代CD8 T细胞中进行了基因组规模的CRISPR-Cas9基因敲除筛选,发现了在三种刺激模式下对T细胞活力产生负面影响的基因:(1)强烈刺激,引发活化诱导细胞死亡(AICD);(2)急性刺激,引发扩增;(3)慢性刺激,导致功能障碍。除了已有的调节因子外,研究人员还发现了在不同刺激下特异或共同控制T细胞适应性的基因。

在所有三个筛选中,Dap5的消减排名都很高,它在增强肿瘤杀伤力的同时也增加了翻译。Icam1介导的同型T细胞集群的缺失会在急性和强烈刺激后,扩大细胞扩增和效应功能。最后,Ctbp1失活只能在慢性刺激下诱导功能性T细胞持续存在。这些研究结果根据适应性调节因子,对限制T细胞抗肿瘤活性的特征的独特或共同贡献,对这些因子进行了功能性注释。

据了解,限制T细胞抗肿瘤活性的基因可作为治疗目标。目前还没有系统地研究过是否有调节因子,独特或广泛地影响T细胞的适应性。

Abstract: Genes limiting T cell antitumor activity may serve as therapeutic targets. It has not been systematically studied whether there are regulators that uniquely or broadly contribute to T cell fitness. We perform genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens in primary CD8 T cells to uncover genes negatively impacting fitness upon three modes of stimulation: (1) intense, triggering activation-induced cell death (AICD); (2) acute, triggering expansion; (3) chronic, causing dysfunction. Besides established regulators, we uncover genes controlling T cell fitness either specifically or commonly upon differential stimulation. Dap5 ablation, ranking highly in all three screens, increases translation while enhancing tumor killing. Loss of Icam1-mediated homotypic T cell clustering amplifies cell expansion and effector functions after both acute and intense stimulation. Lastly, Ctbp1 inactivation induces functional T cell persistence exclusively upon chronic stimulation. Our results functionally annotate fitness regulators based on their unique or shared contribution to traits limiting T cell antitumor activity.
