Effector and memory CD8+ T cell fate coupled by T-bet and eomesodermin

Abstract: Two seemingly unrelated hallmarks of memory CD8(+) T cells are cytokine-driven proliferative renewal after pathogen clearance and a latent effector program in anticipation of rechallenge. Memory CD8(+) T cells and natural killer cells share cytotoxic potential and dependence on the growth factor interleukin 15. We now show that mice with compound mutations of the genes encoding the transcription factors T-bet and eomesodermin were nearly devoid of several lineages dependent on interleukin 15, including memory … Show more

“…Co‐expression of the transcription factors T‐bet and Eomes is critical for the cytotoxic functions of both CD8+ T‐cells and NK cells,44, 106 and the similarities in granzyme and perforin expression in these cells is reflected by their expression of the T‐bet and Eomes. Thus, both CD56 dim NK cells and CD161+ CD8+ T‐cells are enriched for Eomes+T‐bet high cells,16, 107 while CD56 bright NK cells have an Eomes+T‐bet low phenotype,107 which is mirrored by CD8+ MAIT cells 108.…”

“…In addition to Th1 cells, T-bet is detected in several other immune cells, including CD8 ϩ T cells (3,5,6), dendritic cells (7), B cells (8), NK cells and NKT cells (9 -11). T-bet regulates expression of numerous immune systemassociated genes, including cytokines (4), cytokine receptors (9 -12), chemokines (7,11), chemokine receptors (4,11,13) and cytotoxicity (9,11). Altogether these results have established T-bet as an essential transcription factor in the generation and regulation of proper immune responses.…”

“…We reported previously that ectopic expression of T-bet in T-bet Ϫ/Ϫ NKT cells induces expression of IL-2/IL-15R␤ (CD122) mRNA and cell surface expression of CD122 (10,11). Furthermore, recent data have emphasized the critical role of T-bet and its homolog Eomes in enhancing CD122 expression and consequently in controlling the survival of IL-15-dependent cells, including NKT, NK, and CD8 memory cells (9). In addition, T-bet has been involved in the control of Th1 cell migration to inflammatory sites through its regulation of expression of the chemokine receptor CxCR3 (11,13).…”

“…1 These effector T-cell subsets are driven by distinct networks: a transcriptional program involving Blimp1, Id2 and t-bet is critical for the generation of KLRG1 hi CD127 lo effector cells, [1][2][3][4] whereas an alternative transcriptional program involving Bcl-6, STAT3, eomoesodermin, Id3 and T-cell factor-1 are critical for the generation of KLRG1 lo CD127 hi pre-memory cells. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Although these differentiation programs have been used to explain which cells die as effectors and which cells survive and become memory cells, the results are complicated by the fact that little work has been done examining effector CD8 þ T-cell responses in mice whose death programs have been disabled.…”
