CD8A and hepatocellular carcinoma: In a more recent study, scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomic analyses were used to identify a triadic interaction among granzyme K + PD-1 + effector-like CD8 + T cells, CXCL13 + CH25H + IL-21 + PD-1 + CD4 + T helper cells, and LAMP3 + mature DCs enriched in immunoregulatory molecules (mregDC), which are linked to therapeutic response in HCC patients treated with neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 ICIs [138].
