Summary (written by the submitters)
Persistent antigen stimulation exposes CD8+ T cells to various metabolic stresses and induces a dysfunctional state termed T-cell exhaustion. Exhausted CD8+ T cells are continuously replenished by a recently discovered self-renewing stem-like CD8+ T-cell subset, which maintains long-term immunity and provides proliferative burst in response to immunotherapies.

Although the redox system plays an important role in regulating T-cell activation, how cellular redox affects the differentiation of stem-like and exhausted CD8+ T cells is incompletely understood. Here, we showed that both antigen stimulation and terminal differentiation reduced mitochondrial oxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in exhausted CD8+ T cells, which displayed a chromatin state primed for regulation by the redox sensing KEAP1-NRF2 pathway. During chronic viral infection, KEAP1 promoted expansion of antiviral CD8+ T cells and facilitated their differentiation into the stem-like subset in a cell autonomous manner. In addition, KEAP1 was required for establishing proper transcriptional programs of stem-like and exhausted CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, KEAP1 maintained oxidation by upregulating genes involved in mitochondrial oxidation and repressing NRF2-driven transcription of antioxidant pathways. Deleting KEAP1 binding domain in NRF2 released NRF2 from regulation by KEAP1, impaired expansion and stemness of CD8+ T cells, and dysregulated multiple metabolic pathways including redox pathways. Thus, our study revealed a novel role of the redox pathway in regulating the molecular program and differentiation of stem-like and exhausted CD8+ T cells during chronic antigen stimulation.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE224756_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA932424 and SRA study SRP421379. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
