Phased differentiation of γδ T and T CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes revealed by single-cell transcriptomics of human cancers
γδ T lymphocytes diverge from conventional T CD8 lymphocytes for ontogeny, homing, and antigen specificity, but whether their differentiation in tumors also deviates was unknown.

| Sumario: | γδ T lymphocytes diverge from conventional T CD8 lymphocytes for ontogeny, homing, and antigen specificity, but whether their differentiation in tumors also deviates was unknown. Using innovative analyses of our original and ~150 published single-cell RNA sequencing datasets validated by phenotyping of human tumors and murine models, here we present the first high-resolution view of human γδ T cell differentiation in cancer. While γδ T lymphocytes prominently encompass TCRVγ9 cells more differentiated than T CD8 in healthy donor’s blood, a different scenario is unveiled in tumors. Solid tumors and lymphomas are infiltrated by a majority of TCRVγnon9 γδ T cells which are quantitatively correlated and remarkably aligned with T CD8 for differentiation, exhaustion, gene expression profile, and response to immune checkpoint therapy. This cancer-wide association is critical for developing cancer immunotherapies. |
