The pathogenesis of Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA/TCR sequencing of 32,619 CD3+CD4+, CD26+/CD7+ and 29,932 CD3+CD4+, CD26-/CD7- lymphocytes from the peripheral blood of 7 patients with CTCL, coupled to single-cell ATAC-seq of 26,411 CD3+CD4+, CD26+/CD7+ and 33,841 CD3+CD4+, CD26-/CD7- lymphocytes, we show that tumor cells in Sézary syndrome (SS) and Mycosis fungoides (MF) exhibit different phenotypes and trajectories of differentiation. When compared to MF, Sézary cells exhibit narrower repertoires of TCRs and exhibit clonal enrichment...
