Description
Purpose: To compare diversity of primary human CD8+ T cells that have divided 0, 1, or 2 times on day 3 of ex vivo expansion from naïve resting state. Methods: Naïve T cells were enriched from human peripheral blood monoluclear cells (PBMCs), labeled with CFSE dye, and expanded for 3 days using rapid expansion protocol (Li, Y. & Kurlander, R.J. Journal of Translational Medicine, 2010). On day 3, 10,000 single live CFSE+ CD8+ T cells from each of divisions 0, 1, and 2 were sorted and immediately processed using 10X Genomics single-cell RNA-sequencing platform. Results: We found that undivided cells display the highest gene expression diversity. Using 1,000 most variably expressed genes, we created a force-directed layout, representing a phenotypic map of cellular differentiation across division states. To understand the basis of T-cell diversity, we defined and quantified regions of interest on this map based on diffusion pseudo-time (DPT), a metric of cell differentiation state. Finally, we examined gene expression in cells from each region and found that undivided cells acquire gene expression associated with effector cell function, while remaining cells go on to grow and differentiate. Conclusions: Our study provides insights into T-cell differentiation within an ex vivo expansion system for cancer immunotherapy applications. Overall design: A total of 4,060 cells (division 0: n = 552 cells, division 1: n = 1,777 cells, division23: n = 1,731 cells) were sequenced to an average of 52,040 post-normalization reads per cell capturing a median of 18,770 unique molecular identifier (UMI) counts per cell mapping to 3,544 unique genes per cell.

Description
Mutant RAS oncoproteins activate signaling molecules that drive oncogenesis in multiple human tumors including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). However, the specific function of these pathways in AML is unclear. To elucidate the downstream functions of activated NRAS in AML, we employed a murine model of AML harboring Mll-AF9 and NRASG12V. We found that NRASG12V enforced leukemia self-renewal gene expression signatures and was required to maintain an MLL-AF9 and MYB-dependent gene expression program. In a multiplexed analysis of RAS-dependent signaling intermediates, the leukemia stem cell compartment was preferentially sensitive to RAS withdrawal. Use of RAS-pathway inhibitors showed that NRASG12V maintained leukemia self-renewal through mTOR and MEK pathway activation, implicating these pathways as potential targets for cancer stem cell-specific therapies. Overall design: Primary leukemia cells harvested from spleens were sorted into immunophenotypic subpopulations (Mac-1High, Mac-1LowKit–Sca-1–, Mac-1LowKit+Sca-1–, and Mac-1LowKit+Sca-1+). RNA was extracted from this subpopulations of cells and submitted for RNA sequencing.

Description
T cell anergy is one of the mechanisms contributing to peripheral tolerance, particularly in the context of progressively growing tumors and in tolerogenic treatments promoting allograft acceptance. We recently reported that early growth response gene 2 (Egr2) is a critical transcription factor for the induction of anergy in vitro and in vivo, which was identified based on its ability to regulate the expression of inhibitory signaling molecules diacylglycerol kinase (DGK)-a and -z. We reasoned that other transcriptional targets of Egr2 might encode additional factors important for T cell anergy and immune regulation. Thus, we conducted two sets of genome-wide screens: gene expression profiling of wild type versus Egr2-deleted T cells treated under anergizing conditions, and a ChIP-Seq analysis to identify genes that bind Egr2 in anergic cells. Merging of these data sets revealed 49 targets that are directly regulated by Egr2. Among these are inhibitory signaling molecules previously reported to contribute to T cell anergy, but unexpectedly, also cell surface molecules and secreted factors, including lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (Lag3), Class-I-MHC-restricted T cell associated molecule (Crtam), Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A), and chemokine CCL1. These observations suggest that anergic T cells might not simply be functionally inert, and may have additional functional properties oriented towards other cellular components of the immune system.
