Abstract

T cell factor 1 (TCF-1) is a transcription factor known to act downstream of the canonical Wnt pathway and is essential for normal T cell development. However, its physiological roles in mature CD8+ T cell responses are unknown. Here we showed that TCF-1 deficiency limited proliferation of CD8+ effector T cells and impaired their differentiation towards a central memory phenotype. Moreover, TCF-1-deficient memory CD8+ T cells were progressively lost over time, exhibiting reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl-2, interleukin-2 receptor β chain and diminished IL-15-driven proliferation. TCF-1 was directly associated with the Eomes allele and the Wnt-TCF-1 pathway was necessary and sufficient for optimal Eomes expression in naïve and memory CD8+ T cells. Importantly, forced expression of Eomes partly protected TCF-1-deficient memory CD8+ T cells from time-dependent attrition. Our studies thus identify TCF-1 as a critical player in a transcriptional program that regulates memory CD8 differentiation and longevity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
