Article Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab is standard for unresectable locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). This study assesses how CRT alters the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in CD8 + PD-1 + T-cells and its impact on clinical outcomes. This prospective study, conducted from November 2019 to May 2021 at three institutions in Japan, evaluated the diversity of TCR repertoire (DE50) in PD-1 + CD8 + T-cells and CD8 + T-cell phenotypes in peripheral blood before and after CRT. Forty patients treated with CRT were included. The diversity and usage of TCR beta variable chains (TRBV) and 14 junctional chains (TRBJ) were significantly and positively correlated before and after CRT. Regarding the DE50, the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with DE50High before CRT was significantly greater than that of those with DE50Low (NR vs. NR months, HR 0.17, p = 0.01). The diversity of TCR repertoire might more accurately predict the efficacy of CRT followed by durvalumab therapy.

The intestinal immune system is adapted to maintain constant interactions with environmental stimuli without causing inflammation. The recognition of Ags derived from microbes and diet can induce Treg or effector T cell responses through dynamic regulatory mechanisms, significantly impacting host health and disease. Although several examples of Ag-specific T cell responses to microbial or dietary Ags have been reported, our understanding of the full range of gut T cell responses remains highly limited.

Naïve T cells are maintained in a homeostatic state to preserve a stable T cell pool with diverse T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires, ensuring preparedness for priming. However, the underlying mechanisms controlling naïve T cell homeostasis and priming remain unclear. Leveraging a machine learning-based functional genetic screen, we identified () as the top factor responsible for naïve T cell homeostasis.

Pathogen-specific CD4 T cells undergo dynamic expansion and contraction during infection, ultimately generating memory clones that shape the subsequent immune responses. However, the influence of distinct tissue environments on the differentiation and clonal selection of polyclonal T cells remains unclear, primarily because of the technical challenges in tracking these cells in vivo. To address this question, we generated Tracking Recently Activated Cell Kinetics (TRACK) mice, a dual-recombinase fate-mapping system that enables precise spatial and temporal labeling of recently activated CD4 T cells.

Ten Eleven Translocation (TET) proteins can oxidize 5-methylcytosine to generate in sequential steps oxidized forms of cytosine: 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine. Through their catalytic activity TET proteins promote active DNA demethylation. There are three TET proteins: TET1, TET2 and TET3.
