Article Abstract
The relationship between genetic variation and CD8 T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire usage in patients receiving immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy for cancer is unexplored. We have conducted a genome-wide and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-focused analysis of CD8 TCR repertoire to identify genetic determinants of variable gene (V-gene) and CDR3 -nucleotide oligomer usage from samples taken before and after ICB ( = 250). We identify 11 cis and 10 trans V-gene associations, primarily to the MHC, that meet genome-wide significance. TCR clones containing HLA associated V-genes were less stable across treatment, while, at the single-cell level, genetically associated clones demonstrate subset enrichment and increased tumor reactivity expression profiles. Notably, patients with HLA-matched TCR clones demonstrate improved overall survival. Our work indicates a complex relationship between genotype and TCR repertoire in the context of ICB treatment, with implications for understanding factors relating to therapeutic response and patient outcomes.

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.
