Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease of complex aetiology in which adaptive immune responses mediated by T cells play a major role in driving synovial inflammation and joint damage. 1 Before developing effector functions, naïve T cells are conventionally understood to require an initial antigenspecific stimulus transduced through their T cell receptor (TCR). TCR-mediated recognition is also required for targeted cell lysis by cytotoxic T cells. Previous studies have sought to characterise the functional roles of various T cell populations in RA, and have demonstrated patterns of oligoclonal expansion among them. 2 It has also been shown that some T cell clones may be shared among multiple patients as a public repertoire. 3 However, the antigen specificities of synovial T cells remain poorly studied outside of a few epitopes, and open resources of TCRs and repertoires associated with RA are lacking. To accelerate research efforts into the TCR repertoires and T cell antigen specificities in RA, we report here synovial repertoires mined using a repertoire reconstruction algorithm from two large-cohort RNA sequencing datasets totaling 196 RA patients, as well as additional controls from peripheral blood and other joint disorders (figure 1A, online supplemental methods). The first, GSE89408, had been generated to identify transcriptome signatures in the synovium of patients with RA associated with disease progression (online supplemental table S1). 4 The second, PEAC, focused on early, treatment-naïve patients and identify transcriptome signatures contributing to establishment of disease in synovial tissue and peripheral blood (onlin e supplemental table S2). 5 By exploring these cohorts in the hitherto unnavigated immune repertoire dimension, we built the first openly accessible online database of high-frequency TCR sequences found in the synovium of patients with RA (http://repertoire. life). This reference database is an ongoing effort to collect and compile human TCR repertoires of patients with RA, and can be searched with TCR repertoires identified in future work to better identify public sequences and contextualise their antigen specificity.Initial analysis of this database demonstrated that an increased repertoire diversity among synovial (but not peripheral blood) high-frequency clonotypes was associated with higher disease activity (Disease Activity Score-28,(DAS28)) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)(figure 1B, C, online supplemental figure S1, online supplemental table S3), highlighting the significant correlations between synovial oligoclonal expansion and clinical indices. Through TCR clustering analyses, we observed that synovial TCR motifs from patients with RA were largely distinct from those found in other joint diseases (online supplemental figure S2), in a manner consistent with their overall transcriptome differences (online supplemental figure S3), but that these motifs could be shared in aggregate among patients with lymphoid pathotype (online supplemental figure S4). Consistently, we also observed that several of these motifs were clonally expanded and enriched in patients with highly active disease as assessed through multiple indices (figure 1D, online supplemental figures S5, S6), further indicating their potential involvement in RA progression. Through comparison with paired peripheral blood samples from the same patients, we observed that a
