Clonal dynamics of alloreactive T cells in kidney allograft rejection after anti-PD-1 therapy [bulkTCRseq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Kidney transplant recipients are at particular risk for developing tumors, many of which are now routinely treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs); however, ICI therapy can precipitate transplant rejection. We utilized TCR sequencing to identify and track alloreactive T cells in a patient with melanoma who experienced kidney transplant rejection following ICI therapy. ICI therapy was associated with a sharp increase in circulating alloreactive CD8+ T cell clones, many of which were also detected in the rejected kidney but not at tumor sites. Longitudinal and cross-tissue TCR analyses revealed unintended expansion of alloreactive CD8+ T cells induced by ICI therapy for cancer, coinciding with ICI-associated organ rejection.
