Objective: Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles regulate susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and immune-mediated diseases. This study aims to elucidate the impact of HLA alleles to T cell subsets. Methods: We performed genome-wide and HLA allele association analysis for T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain repertoire in 13 purified T cell subsets from the ImmuNexUT database, consisting of 407 donors with ten immune-mediated diseases and healthy controls. Results: HLA class II alleles were associated with TRBV gene usage and the public clones of CD4 T cells, while HLA class I alleles were associated with CD8 T cells. RA-risk and immune-mediated diseases-risk HLA alleles were associated with TRBV gene usage of naive and effector CD4 T cell subsets and public clones accumulating in Th17. Clonal diversity was independent of HLA alleles and was correlated with transcriptome changes that reflect TCR signaling. Conclusion: This study revealed in vivo evidence that both HLA alleles and environmental factors shape naive and effector TCR repertoires in RA and immune-mediated diseases patients.
