Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) immunotherapy is a highly promising treatment for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), which is responsible for 18% of all cancer-related deaths. The heterogeneity of TILs remains poorly understood. Here, we utilized combined single-cell RNA (scRNA)/T cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq) data from lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. Na & iuml;ve CD4+ and effector memory CD8+ T cells were increased in tumor tissue compared with circulating blood samples. Activated signaling pathways were detected, and GZMA was identified as a potential novel diagnostic biomarker. During the transitional phase, macrophages (FTL) and dendritic (AIF1) cells transported the most CD3 TCR clones to T cells, while cytotoxicity CD8+ T (NKG7) cells transported to terminal exhausted CD8+ T cells. In both transition and expansion phases, T helper cells (CXCL13) are transported to regulatory T cells (Tregs). Additionally, we investigated the expression profiles of key cytokines, checkpoint receptors, and their ligands. Cytotoxicity CD8+ T cells (CCL5 and IFNG), T helper cells (FTL, TNFRSF4, and TIGIT), and regulatory T cells (CTLA4, TIGIT and FTL) exhibited functional roles in both primary and metastatic tumor stages. Taken together, our study provides a single-cell resolution of the TIL immune landscape and suggests potential treatment strategies to overcome drug resistance. |
