However, these treatments fail in many other patients, due to mechanisms that have yet to be fully characterized. The process of T cell exhaustion, by which T cells become dysfunctional in response to extended exposure to antigen, has been implicated in immunotherapy resistance. We constructed an analysis framework to first rank human skin tumor samples by degree of exhaustion in tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells and then identify immune cell type-specific gene regulatory network patterns significantly associated with T cell exhaustion. 000041598 540__ $$fCC BY 000041598 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000041598 650__ $$aComputational Biology$$031511 000041598 650__ $$aImmunotherapy$$020724 000041598 650__ $$aSingle-Cell Gene Expression Analysis$$013872 000041598 650__ $$aGene Regulatory Networks$$037326 000041598 6531_ $$abioinformatics 000041598 6531_ $$acancer immunology 000041598 6531_ $$ascrna-seq 000041598 6531_ $$acd8 t cell exhaustion 000041598 6531_ $$aneoplasms 000041598 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000041598 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000041598 7001_ $$aKlocke, Christopher$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041598 7001_ $$aMoran, Amy$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041598 7001_ $$aMcWeeney, Shannon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041598 7001_ $$aAdey, Andrew$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041598 7001_ $$aWu, Guanming$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041598 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041598 8564_ $$905c22065-3737-4c4e-bcd6-8f227d4e43d5$$s99281$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41598/files/ResearchWeek.2023.Klocke.Christopher.pdf 000041598 980__ $$aResearch Week 000041598 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-08-18
