Transcriptome analysis of Th1 cells from spleen, lymph nodes, draining lymph nodes and B16-F10 tumor
It is now clearly established that immune system can affect cancer response to therapy. However, the influence of tumor microenvironment on immune cells is not completely understood. In this respect, alternative splicing is increasingly described to affect immune system biology. Here, we showed that tumor microenvironment, by increasing alternative splicing events, induced the expression of an alternative isoform of the IRF1 transcription factor in Th1 cells. Furthermore, we also shown, in both mice and humans, that IRF1 alternative isoform alters IRF1 full form transcriptional activity on Il12rb1 promotor, resulting in decreased IFN-? secretion in Th1 cells. Thus, IRF1-short isoform increases in tumor microenvironment and to prevent this isoform appearance could potentiate Th1 cell antitumor effect. Overall design: We report that tumor microenvironnement impacts alternative splicing and genes expression Examination of the expression profile of CD4+ T cells
