CAR T cell killing requires the IFN gamma R pathway in solid but not liquid tumours

Rebecca C. Larson et al.

Summary: CAR T cell therapy has shown limited efficacy against solid tumours, and this study identifies the loss of genes in the interferon-gamma receptor signalling pathway as a potential resistance mechanism in glioblastoma and other solid tumours. The study reveals that the interferon-gamma receptor signalling pathway is critical for the adhesion and cytotoxicity of CAR T cells in solid tumours, highlighting the importance of enhancing binding interactions between T cells and tumour cells for improved responses in solid tumours.

'Stem-like' precursors are the fount to sustain persistent CD8+ T cell responses

Dietmar Zehn et al.

Summary: Virus-specific CD8(+) T cells exhibit different phenotypic and functional characteristics in resolved and persisting infections. The differentiation trajectories of these cells are governed by distinct cellular dynamics, developmental pathways, and molecular mechanisms. Failure to generate proliferation-competent precursor cells in chronic infections and tumors leads to the collapse of T cell response, making these cells important therapeutic targets.

TGFβ biology in cancer progression and immunotherapy

Rik Derynck et al.

Summary: TGF beta signaling plays a key role in cancer progression by promoting cancer cell invasion, dissemination, stem cell properties, therapeutic resistance, and the generation of an immunosuppressive environment. Inhibiting TGF beta signaling is considered a crucial avenue to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. Understanding and targeting TGF beta signaling mechanisms in tumors and their microenvironment may provide valuable insights for cancer treatment.

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the effect of PD-L1/TGF-β blockade on the tumor microenvironment

Yoong Wearn Lim et al.

Summary: The combination of PD-L1 and TGF-beta blockade enhances the expression of immune response genes and upregulates chemokine gene CCL5 in macrophages, promoting the activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes. This suggests that CCL5 may serve as a potential therapeutic target that could be leveraged to overcome resistance to anti-PD-L1 therapy.

Simultaneous targeting of TGF-β/PD-L1 synergizes with radiotherapy by reprogramming the tumor microenvironment to overcome immune evasion

Yan Lan et al.

Summary: The combination of BA fusion protein with radiotherapy shows superior survival in murine tumor models, increasing tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, reprogramming the tumor microenvironment, and attenuating RT-induced fibrosis. This combination has the potential to eradicate therapy-resistant tumors while sparing normal tissue, supporting its clinical translation.

Transforming growth factor-b-regulated mTOR activity preserves cellular metabolism to maintain long-term T cell responses in chronic infection

Sarah S. Gabriel et al.

Summary: Research demonstrates that in chronic viral infections and tumors, Tpex cells maintain long-term functionality by sustaining mitochondrial health and suppressing mTOR signaling, with transforming growth factor-beta playing a critical role in Tpex cell metabolism and function.

Interpretation of T cell states from single-cell transcriptomics data using reference atlases

Massimo Andreatta et al.

Summary: The authors successfully established reference T cell atlases for cancer and viral infection by integrating multiple studies and developing ProjecTILs algorithm. It accurately predicts cell perturbations effects and identifies highly conserved T cell subtypes, providing a stable basis for describing T cell heterogeneity consistently across different diseases and species.

Characteristics of T-cell receptor repertoire of stem cell-like memory CD4+T cells

Shiyu Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that Tscm T cells have increased diversity, skewed gene usage, and shorter length distribution in the CDR3 region compared to other memory T cells. The top1000 clonotypes in Tscm were more public and grouped in more clusters, suggesting a wider recognition of epitope types. Additionally, self-reactive clonotypes were found to be more abundant in Tscm from type one diabetes patients.
