CD4+ T cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma express exhaustion associated transcription factors TOX and TOX2

Abstract: In classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), the highly abundant CD4+ T cells in the vicinity of tumor cells are considered essential for tumor cell survival, but are ill-defined. Although they are activated, they consistently lack expression of activation marker CD26. In this study, we compared sorted CD4+CD26- and CD4+CD26+ T cells from cHL lymph node cell suspensions by RNA sequencing and T cell receptor variable gene segment usage analysis. This revealed that although CD4+CD26- T cells are antigen experienced, the… Show more

“…The necessity of TOX for CD4 lineage development suggests that its abnormal expression may lead to clonal proliferation of malignant T tumor cells. There is extensive evidence that abnormal TOX expression leads to lymphoma development ( 8 , 22 , 47 ), especially T-lymphoma. The effects of TOX on cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) have been studied extensively ( 31 35 ).…”

“…[11][12][13] TOX expression is not restricted to chronic infections; it also develops in CD8 + and CD4 + T cells in the tumour microenvironment (TME) of various malignancies. 13,14 Expression of TOX has been found in several types of lymphoma, including both B and T cell subtypes. 13,15,16 Huuhtanen et al 17 The goal of this study is to investigate the extent of TOX expression in T-LGLL cells, and whether TOX expression can be used to differentiate between T-LGLL cells and reactive T cells in bone marrow.…”

“…This expression is much higher than the physiological expression by normal dendritic and epithelial cells of the thymus 5 . TARC binds to the CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) on CD4 + T cells and strongly contributes to the characteristic T cell‐rich tumour micro‐environment of cHL 6 . Because of the high secretion of TARC by HRS cells, approximately 85% of cHL patients have elevated serum or plasma levels at diagnosis compared to healthy controls (median ~400× higher).…”
