Proteostatic Stress Response is a Mechanistic Driver of T Cell Exhaustion and a New Therapeutic Opportunity for Cancer Immunotherapy

Description

Chronic infections and cancer cause T cell dysfunction known as exhaustion due to persistent antigen exposure, suboptimal co-stimulation and a plethora of hostile factors, which dampens protective immunity and limits the efficacy of immunotherapies1-4. The mechanisms behind T cell exhaustion remain poorly understood. Herein, we dissected the proteome of CD8+ exhausted T cells (Tex) across multiple states of exhaustion in the context of both chronic viral infections and cancer. We found that there was a non-stochastic pathway-specific discordance between mRNA and protein dynamics in T effector (Teff) versus Tex cells. We identified a unique proteostatic stress response (PSR) in Tex cells which we termed TexPSR. Contrary to canonical stress responses with reduced protein synthesis5,6, the TexPSR involves increased global translation activity and an upregulation of specialized chaperones, characterized further by the accumulation of protein aggregates, stress granules and autophagy-dominant protein catabolism. We established that disruption of proteostasis alone can convert Teff to Tex cells, and linked TexPSR mechanistically to persistent Akt signaling. Finally, we found that disruption of TexPSR-associated chaperones in CD8+ T cells improved cancer immunotherapy preclinically and demonstrated that high TexPSR feature in T cells in cancer patients confers poor response to immunotherapy clinically. Our findings collectively highlight TexPSR as a hallmark and a mechanistic driver of T cell exhaustion, raising the possibility of targeting proteostasis as a potential novel approach for cancer immunotherapy.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
