Abstract
T cell aging is a complex process combining the emergence of cellular defects with activation of adaptive mechanisms. Generation of T cell memory is impaired, while a low-inflammatory state is induced, in part due to effector T cells. To determine whether age-associated changes in T cell fate decisions occur early after T cell activation, we profiled the longitudinal transcriptional and epigenetic landscape induced by TCR stimulation comparing naïve CD4⁺ T cells from young and older adults. In spite of attenuated TCR signaling, activation-induced remodeling of the epigenome increased with age, culminating in heightened BATF and BLIMP1 activity. Single cell studies, integrating ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data, identified increases in dysfunctional and in effector T cells and a decrease in BACH2-expressing memory cell precursors. STAT5 activation, in part due to a decline in HELIOS and aberrant IL-2 receptor expression, accounted for the induction of transcription factor networks favoring effector cell differentiation.
