Paper
Single-cell RNA sequencing comparison of CD4+, CD8+ and T-cell receptor γδ+ cutaneous T-cell lymphomas reveals subset-specific molecular phenotypesThe British journal of dermatology · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: Malignant clones of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) can show a CD4+, CD8+ or T-cell receptor γδ+ phenotype, but their individual impact on tumor biology and skin lesion formation remains ill-defined. We perform a comprehensive molecular characterization of CD4+ vs. CD8+ and TCR-γ/δ+ CTCL lesions. Methods: We performed scRNA-seq of 18 CTCL skin biopsies to compare classic CD4+ advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) with TCR-γ/δ+ MF and primary cutaneous CD8+ aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma (Berti’s lymphoma).

Results: Malignant clones of TCR-γ/δ+ MF and Berti’s lymphoma showed similar clustering patterns distinct from CD4+ MF, along with increased expression of cytotoxic markers such as NKG7, CTSW, GZMA, and GZMM. Only advanced-stage CD4+MF clones expressed central memory T-cell markers (SELL, CCR7, LEF1), alongside B1/B2 blood involvement, whereas TCR-γ/δ+ MF and Berti’s lymphoma harbored a more tissue-resident phenotype (CD69, CXCR4, NR4A1) without detectable cells in the blood. CD4+ MF and TCR-γ/δ+ MF skin lesions harbored strong type 2 immune activation across myeloid cells, while Berti’s lymphoma was more skewed towards type 1 immune responses. Both CD4+ MF and TCR-γ/δ+ MF lesions showed upregulation of keratinocyte hyperactivation markers such as S100As and KRT16 genes. This increase was entirely absent in Berti’s lymphoma, possibly reflecting an aberrant keratinocyte response to invading tumor cells, that could contribute to the formation of the typical ulcero-necrotic lesions within this entity. Conclusions: Our scRNAseq profiling study reveals specific molecular patterns associated with distinct CTCL subtypes.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE266862_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1108611. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
44 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 44 sample titles: 44 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
