Figure Lengend Snippet: Tumor-infiltrating Tc17 cells exhibit tissue resident memory-like phenotypes in mice and humans. (A–E) Lung CD8 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in CD4-depleted B16F10 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice were analyzed. (A) Representative contour plots of cell surface expression of CD103 and KLRG1 on Tc17 and Tc1 cells. (B) PerCP-Cy5.5-labeled anti-mouse CD8α Ab was intravenously (i.v.) injected into CD4-depleted B16F10 tumor-bearing mice 5 min before sacrifice for analysis. Representative contour plots of CD8 α-PerCP-Cy5.5 + cells among total CD8 + T cells in spleen and lung tumor are shown. (C) Representative histogram of CD127 expression and frequencies of CD127 + cells of Tc17 and Tc1 cells (n=4). (D) Representative histogram of Ki-67 expression and frequencies of Ki-67 + cells of Tc17 and Tc1 cells (n=7). (E) Frequencies of granzyme B(GzmB) + cells of Tc17 and Tc1 cells (n=4). (F) Cytotoxicity of in vitro generated gp100-specific Tc1 cells or Tc17 cells (effector cells) against gp100-pulsed TC-1 tumor cells (target cells). Frequencies of Caspase-3(Casp3) + among CTV-labeled target cells were analyzed 4 hours after co-culture with effector cells. (G–J) CD8 + TILs isolated from tumor tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were analyzed by flow cytometry. (G) Representative contour plots of IL-17 and IFN-γ production by Tc17 and Tc1 cells in TILs of patients with HCC and frequencies of Tc17 and Tc1 cells among CD8 + TILs (n=11). (H) Cell surface expression of CD103 and KLRG1 on each CD8 + T cell subset. (I) Representative histogram of cell surface expression of CD127 on each CD8 + TIL subset and frequencies of CD127 hi cells (n=6). (J) Representative histogram of GzmB expression in each CD8 + TIL subset and frequencies of GzmB + cells in each CD8 + TIL subset (n=6). Data are representatives of at least two independent experiments for (A–F) and (H–J) and combined results of two independent experiments for (G). Data are shown as mean±SD for (C-E, G, I, J) and mean±SEM for (F). *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001.
