Pim1 and Pim2 are strongly TCR-induced, but dispensable for T cell activation.

Estimated copies per cell of PIM1 and PIM2 protein from quantitative proteomics analysis of (A) OT1 CD8 T cells stimulated with SIINFEKL peptide for indicated times from published dataset (Marchingo et al., 2020) or (B) naive ex vivo and 24 hr αCD3/αCD28 (TCR) activated WT CD8 T cells (see (G, H)) for further details. (C) Fragments per kilobase million (FPKM) of Pim1, Pim2, and Pim3 mRNA from published (Spinelli et al., 2021) bulk RNAseq analysis of naive and 24 hr gp33-41 peptide stimulated P14 CD8 T cells. Lymph node cell suspensions from C57BL/6 (WT) and Pim1KO/Pim2KO (Pim dKO) mice were activated for 24 hr with αCD3/αCD28 (both 0.5 µg/mL) and CD4 and CD8 T cell (D) FSC-A SSC-A profiles, (E) expression of surface activation markers (CD25, CD44, CD71) or CD8 T cell intracellular IFNγ were measured by flow cytometry. (F) Lymph node single-cell suspensions from WT and Pim dKO mice were labelled with CellTrace Violet (CTV), activated with αCD3/αCD28 (both 0.5 µg/mL) and CD4 and CD8 T cell CTV proliferation profiles were measured at indicated time points. (G, H) Lymph node cell suspensions from WT and Pim dKO mice were stimulated for 24 hr with αCD3/αCD28 (both 0.5 µg/mL) and activated CD4 and CD8 T cells were sorted for analysis by quantitative proteomics. Data was analysed using proteomic ruler method (Wiśniewski et al., 2014) to estimate protein copy number per cell. An interactive version of the proteomics expression data is available for exploration on the Immunological Proteome Resource website: immpres.co.uk (G) Total protein content (µg/million cells) (one-way ANOVA), (H) Volcano plots of p-value (-log10) versus fold-change (log2) in protein copy number between Pim dKO and WT. Horizontal dotted line represents multi-test correction cut-off of q=0.05, vertical dotted line shows 1.5-fold change. Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate synthase 1 like 1 (Prps1l1), was found to be higher in Pim dKO CD8 T cells, but was a low confidence quantification (based on only two unique peptides) with no known function in T cells. Lymph node single-cell suspensions from WT and Pim dKO mice were labelled with CellTrace Violet (CTV) and (I) cells were cultured in IL-7 (5 ng/mL) +/- rapamycin (20 nM) and CD8 T cell numbers measured over time or (J) cells were activated with αCD3/αCD28 (both 0.5 µg/mL) +/- rapamycin (20 nM) and CD8 T cell mean division number was calculated over time (two-way ANOVA). Symbols in bar charts represent biological replicates, symbols in (I) represent the mean. Error bars show mean ± S.D. Flow cytometry dot plots and histograms are representative of (D, E) n=3, except for IFNγ staining which is n=2, (F) n=5, or show pooled data from (I) n=3–4 and (J) n=5 biological replicates, with data collected over at least two independent experiments. Quantitative proteomics was performed on biological triplicates.

Proteomics data confirms deletion of catalytically active PIM1 and PIM2.

Pim1 KO mice have the Pim1 gene deleted from 98 codons post-ATG start site onwards (mid exon 4) and ablation of kinase activity was confirmed in Laird et al., 1993. In Pim2 KO mice exons 1–3 are deleted from the Pim2 gene (Mikkers et al., 2004). Summed peptide intensities from unnormalized proteomics data collected as described in Figure 1G–H from (A) before the PIM1 deletion point (left) and after the deletion point (right) and (B) whole of PIM2 protein confirms deletion of functional PIM1 and PIM2 protein.

Pim1/Pim2 deficiency reduces IL-15-driven CD8 T cell proliferation but does not prevent memory differentiation.
