Abstract Epithelial ovarian cancer is a highly heterogenous, metastatic and lethal disease. The presence of CD8 + T cells within ovarian tumors is positively associated with overall patient survival. Determining if a patient has T cells that respond to immunotherapies, their characteristics and how they can be manipulated to target cancer cells is an area of intense investigation in cancer therapy. This study determines the cellular composition and the transcriptional state of immune cells in metastatic ovarian cancer samples from patients using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Hierarchical clustering stratified our patient cohort into 2 main groups: 1) a high T cell infiltration (high T inf ) group and 2) a low T cell infiltration (low T inf ) group. To assess the immune response in these patient samples, we performed an unsupervised clustering of the T cell population in each group. The T cell population clustered into 4 and 3 subpopulations in the high T inf T cell and low T inf respectively. A granulysin expressing T cell cluster was identified and unique to the High T inf group. Interestingly, although both groups had resident memory CD8 + T (CD8 + Trm) cells, only the CD8 + Trm cells in the high T inf group expressed TOX, a recently described transcription factor. TOX confers longevity to T cells within immunosuppressive environment such as cancer. Interestingly, along with TOX + T cells, we found a unique plasmablast cluster and an IRF8 + macrophage cluster unique to the high T inf group. Our comprehensive scRNA-seq study provides important insights in elucidating the immune response in ovarian cancer patients.
