We exploratively characterized T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) patients to better understand the underlying pathological mechanism. We used a combination of multiplex-PCR, Illumina sequencing and IMGT/High V-QUEST to analyze the characteristics and polymorphisms of the TCR β-chain complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) gene in 10 OMDT cases and 10 trichloroethylene-exposed healthy tolerant controls. Compared with the tolerant controls, OMDT cases showed no significant difference in TCR repertoire diversity including repertoire breadth, highly expanded clone, and CDR3 length distribution. However, we observed several differences in TRBV/TRBJ usage and combination between the two groups, as well as some shared and unique T cell clones in the cases. The pilot study delineated some features of TCR repertoire in OMDT patients that warrant further investigation.
我们探索性地分析了职业性三氯乙烯药疹样皮炎(OMDT)患者的 T 细胞受体(TCR)库,以更好地了解潜在的病理机制。我们采用多重 PCR、Illumina 测序和 IMGT/High V-QUEST 相结合的方法,分析了 10 例 OMDT 患者和 10 例三氯乙烯暴露健康耐受对照者 TCRβ 链互补决定区 3(CDR3)基因的特征和多态性。与耐受对照者相比,OMDT 患者的 TCR 库多样性(包括库广度、高度扩增克隆和 CDR3 长度分布)无显著差异。然而,我们观察到两组之间 TRBV/TRBJ 的使用和组合存在一些差异,以及病例中存在一些共同和独特的 T 细胞克隆。这项初步研究描绘了 OMDT 患者 TCR 库的一些特征,值得进一步研究。
