Assessment of tumor-infiltrating TCRV γ 9V δ 2 γδ lymphocyte abundance by deconvolution of human cancers microarrays
2017
Most human blood γδ cells are cytolytic TCRVγ9Vδ2+lymphocytes with antitumor activity. They are currently investigated in several clinical trials of cancer immunotherapy but so far, their tumor infiltration has not been systematically explored across human cancers. Novel algorithms allowing the deconvolution of bulk tumor transcriptomes to find the relative proportions of infiltrating leucocytes, such as CIBERSORT, should be appropriate for this aim but in practice they fail to accurately recognize γδ T lymphocytes. Here, by implementing machine learning from microarray data, we first improved the computational identification of blood-derived TCRVγ9Vδ2+γδ lymphocytes and then appl…
Longitudinal Immunogenomic Profiling of Tumor and Immune Cells for Minimally-Invasive Monitoring of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (SMM): The Immunocell…
2020
Background: Although great strides were made in the management of MM, our best chances to eradicate this malignancy may lie in preventing its progression.Most current models to predict risk of transformation in SMM are commonly established at diagnosis and not reevaluated over time, because some parameters such as tumor burden or genetic abnormalities require invasive bone marrow (BM) aspirates. It could be hypothesized that periodic monitoring of tumor biomarkers is needed to improve risk-stratification of SMM patients, and so would be new minimally-invasive methods that can replace those performed in BM samples. Such methods should also monitor immune profiles, to identify patients with s…
