Project description:Impairment and exhaustion of effector functions limiting a proper immune response have been reported for conventional T cells in chronic infection and cancer. However, the functional relevance of γδ T cells influenced by the tumor microenvironment in human colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear. Here, we identify and characterize a distinct population of Vδ1+ T cells in human microsatellite stable CRC. Using integrated gene expression analysis and ⍺β/γδ-T cell receptor sequencing, we demonstrate activated adaptive immune responses in Vδ1+ T cells in CRC, which are accompanied by perturbances of innate immunity. However, enhanced upregulation of exhaustion genes, altered effector and cell stress molecules in Vδ1+ T cells pinpoint to impaired γδ T cells in CRC compared to distant healthy colon. Cellular interaction analysis highlights a role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in the dysregulation of Vδ1+ T cells in CRC. Immunophenotyping identified a distinct population of Vδ1+ T cells which dominates the γδ T cell subsets and displays a functionally impaired phenotype with a potential to be restored in vitro. These results define pathways operative in γδ T cells in CRC and provide a roadmap for harnessing γδ T cells for specific immunotherapeutic strategies.
Project description:Study goal is to disclose features of gene expressio profile of non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes of type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinomas and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinomas. Keywords: gene expression profile, non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, type C hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma Non-cancerous liver-infiltrating lymphocytes were obtained by laser capture microdissection from surgically resected liver tissues of 12 type C hepatitis patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The mRNA was amplified and expression profile was comprehensively analyzed with reference RNA using oligo-DNA chip.

Project description:Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). To better understand the interactions and functions of TILs in HGSOC progression, we performed proteogenomic profiling of TILs in 65 tumors collected from 12 HGSOC patients.
Project description:Gene expression profile of CD4+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes from three renal carcinoma patients depending on the expression of Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM, CD146).
Project description:Metastatic uveal melanoma generally responds poorly to immunotherapy. The aim here was to sequence tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from uveal melanoma metastases to study their phenotypes and T-cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes. We performed paired single-cell transcriptome and TCR sequencing using the 10x Genomics platform of IL2-expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from 7 liver and 1 subcutaneous metastasis.
Project description:This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL, made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called T-cells) from a patient’s tumor, may help to stimulate the immune system in different ways to stop tumor cells from growing.
