TET2-mutant clonal hematopoiesis prevents T-cell exhaustion and suppresses cancer metastasis [RNA-seq]

Using mouse models of colorectal cancer liver metastasis, we demonstrate that Tet2-deficient hematopoietic cells suppress metastatic tumor burden by preventing CD8+ T-cell exhaustion. Bulk RNA-seq of sorted CD4+ and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from Vav1CreTet2KO, Cd4CreTet2KO, and Tet2fl/fl control mice was performed to characterize transcriptional changes associated with Tet2 loss in tumor-infiltrating T cells.
