RESUMEN

CD8+ T cell responses are critical for anti-tumor immunity. While extensively profiled in the tumor microenvironment, recent studies in mice identified responses in lymph nodes (LNs) as essential; however, the role of LNs in human cancer patients remains unknown. We examined CD8+ T cells in human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, regional LNs, and blood using mass cytometry, single-cell genomics, and multiplexed ion beam imaging. We identified progenitor exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tpex) that were abundant in uninvolved LN and clonally related to terminally exhausted cells in the tumor. After anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, Tpex in uninvolved LNs reduced in frequency but localized near dendritic cells and proliferating intermediate-exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex-int), consistent with activation and differentiation. LN responses coincided with increased circulating Tex-int. In metastatic LNs, these response hallmarks were impaired, with immunosuppressive cellular niches. Our results identify important roles for LNs in anti-tumor immune responses in humans.

RESUMEN

Antitumor immunity is driven by CD8 T cells, yet we lack signatures for the exceptional effectors in tumors, amongst the vast majority of CD8 T cells undergoing exhaustion. By leveraging the measurement of a canonical T cell activation protein (CD69) together with its RNA (Cd69), we found a larger classifier for TCR stimulation-driven effector states in vitro and in vivo. This revealed exceptional 'star' effectors-highly functional cells distinguished amidst progenitor and terminally exhausted cells. Although rare in growing mouse and human tumors, they are prominent in mice during T cell-mediated tumor clearance, where they engage with tumor antigen and are superior in tumor cell killing. Employing multimodal CITE-Seq allowed de novo identification of similar rare effectors amidst T cell populations in human cancer. The identification of rare and exceptional immune states provides rational avenues for enhancement of antitumor immunity.
