It has long been proposed that the pathogenesis of human autoimmune diseases may share common origins with lymphoid cancer. However, a major hurdle in understanding the immune pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases is distinguishing self-reactive “rogue” lymphocytes from normal immune cells. In Coeliac disease, both the environmental trigger (gluten) and major autoantigen (transglutaminase 2) are well characterised, but the underlying mechanisms by which rogue lymphocytes initiate and drive disease are unknown. Here, we apply multi-omic technologies that enable detailed DNA, RNA and protein measurements at the single-cell level to profile tens of thousands of immune cells isolated from small intestine duodenum biopsies from individuals with Coeliac disease. We utilise the T-cell receptor as a natural barcode across multiple single-cell experiments to identify expanded rogue T cell clones and their gene and cell-surface protein expression profiles, along with any somatic DNA driver mutations. Strikingly, we identify in multiple patients expanded T cell clones with mRNA and cell-surface protein expression profiles of cytotoxic effector cells, that harboured missense somatic mutations in T cell lymphoma driver genes STAT3, STAT5Band DDX3X.These mutations have been described as strong gain-of-function mutations in multiple T cell lymphomas, highlighting a novel mechanism by which T cell clones escape immune tolerance and adopt a rogue phenotype in Coeliac disease. Overall, our results highlight the power of single-cell multi-omics in identifying and characterising rare pathogenic clones in a common human autoimmune disease and provide direct evidence for a shared pathogenesis of autoimmunity and lymphoid malignancy.
