| Abstract | Background Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) is a nonspecific orbital inflammatory disease with the third highest prevalence among orbital diseases, and its pathogenesis is associated with T-cell-mediated immune responses. This study aimed to investigate the differences in T-cell receptor (TCR) expression between IOI patients and healthy subjects by high-throughput sequencing and to characterize TCR expression in patients with IOI and with respect to glucocorticoid response. Methods A total of 19 subjects were enrolled in this study and were divided into the idiopathic orbital inflammation group (IOI group, n = 13) and the healthy control group (HC group, n = 6), and within the IOI group were further divided into the glucocorticoid therapy sensitive group (IOI(EF) group, n = 6) and the glucocorticoid therapy ineffective group (IOI(IN) group, n = 7) based on the degree of effectiveness to glucocorticoid therapy. High-throughput TCR sequencing was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells of IOI patients and healthy control individuals using 5’ RACE technology combined with Unique Identifier (UID) digital tag correction technology. The TCR CDR3 region diversity, sharing patterns, and differential sequences between the IOI and HC groups, and between the IOI(EF) and IOI(IN) groups were analyzed. Results It was found that the diversity of TCR CDR3 in the IOI group was significantly lower than that in the HC group, and the frequency of V gene use was significantly different between groups. The diversity of TCR CDR3 in patients in the IOI(EF) group was significantly lower than that in patients in the IOI(IN) group, and the frequency of V and J gene use was significantly different between the IOI(EF) group and the IOI(IN) group. Additionally, we found 133 nucleotide sequences shared in all IOI samples and screened two sequences with higher expression from them. Conclusions Our results suggested that abnormal clonal expansion of specific T-cells exists in IOI patients and that TCR diversity may had an impact on the prognosis of glucocorticoid-treated IOI. This study may contribute to a better understanding of the immune status of IOI and provide new insights for T-cell -associated IOI pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment prediction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
