A Distinct Gene Module for Dysfunction Uncoupled from Activation in Tumor-Infiltrating T Cells.
Specimen part
View SamplesReversing the dysfunctional T cell state that arises in cancer and chronic viral infections is the focus of therapeutic interventions; however, current therapies are effective in only some patients and some tumor types. To gain a deeper molecular understanding of the dysfunctional T cell state, we analyzed population and single-cell RNA profiles of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and used genetic perturbations to identify a distinct gene module for T cell dysfunction that can be uncoupled from T cell activation. This distinct dysfunction module is downstream of intracellular metallothioneins that regulate zinc metabolism and can be identified at single-cell resolution. We further identify Gata-3, a zinc-finger transcription factor in the dysfunctional module, as a regulator of dysfunction, and use CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to show that it drives a dysfunctional phenotype in CD8+ TILs. Our results open novel avenues for targeting dysfunctional T cell states, while leaving activation programs intact. Overall design: CD8 TILs from WT and MTKO mice were sequenced at single-cell resolution

Overall design: CD8 TILs sorted on PD1 and Tim3 to subpopulations were analyzed from two batches: batch 1: 2 WT and 2 MTKO mice , batch 2: 2 WT and 3 MTKO mice.

View SamplesWe employed marker-free single-cell RNA-Seq to characterize comprehensive transcriptional profiles of 507 cells from seven stages between embryonic day 11.5 and postnatal day 2.5 during mouse liver development. Our data demonstrated the existence of two types of stem/progenitor cells with distinct molecular patterns during liver development. Both types of cells exhibit heterogeneity of transcriptional program within each cell population, suggesting they be in distinct status of self-renewal, cell proliferation and different sub-stages of differentiation and maturation. In general, our data depicting the dynamic trajectories with transcriptional profiles at single-cell resolution during mouse liver development provides insights into the fate decision and transcriptional control of self-renewal, differentiation and maturation of liver stem/progenitor cells. Overall design: The transcriptomes of 507 single cells from E11.5, E12.5, E13.5, E14.5, E16.5, E18.5 and P2.5 mouse livers were analyzed in this study. ERCC Spike-ins were included in each sample as control. For E11.5 stage, we analyzed 70 single cells from one embryonic mouse (pooled sibling livers); for E12.5 stage, we analyzed 2 biological replicates (2 embryonic mouse), with 83 single cells from replicate 1 and 17 single cells from replicate 2; for E13.5 stage, we analyzed 71 single cells from one embryonic mouse; for E14.5 stage, we analyzed 2 biological replicates, with 75 single cells from replicate 1 and 24 single cells from replicate 2; for E16.5 stage, we analyzed 2 biological replicates, with 56 single cells from replicate 1 and 22 single cells from replicate 2; for E18.5 stage, we analyzed 2 biological replicates, with 39 single cells from replicate 1 and 19 single cells from replicate 2; for P2.5 stage, we analyzed 2 biological replicates, with 21 single cells from replicate 1 and 10 single cells from replicate 2. All single cell samples were processed on the microfluidic system.
