γδT cell has gained importance during tumor immunotherapy. However, the transcriptional alterations remain unknown. Here, we applied a novel localized ablative immunotherapy (LAIT) to treat tumors in MMTV-PyMT mice and used single-cell RNA-sequencing to investigate the transcriptional profiles regulated by PTT, GC and LAIT (PTT+GC) in γδT cells. Subtypes of γδT cells included activated, cytotoxic, cycling cytotoxic, interferon enriched, antigen-presenting cell (APC)-like, and IL17-expressing γδT cells. Treatments specifically induced cell proportion in Il17-γδT cells while not other subtypes. LAIT-induced Il17-γδT gene expressions were positively associated with breast cancer patients’ survival, highlighting the clinical applications of Il17-γδT for cancer therapies.
