Summary: While T-cell therapy is a significant breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy, its efficacy against solid tumors is limited due to T-cell exhaustion caused by immunosuppressive mechanisms. T-cell-derived nanovesicles (TCNVs) produced by extrusion through membranes with micro/nanosized pores show promising anti-tumoral activity in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. TCNVs express programmed cell death protein 1 and TGF-beta receptor on their surface, which helps block PD-L1 on cancer cells and scavenge TGF-beta in the TME, preventing T-cell exhaustion and directly killing cancer cells. These findings suggest TCNVs as an effective strategy for cancer immunotherapy to overcome tumor's immunosuppressive mechanisms.
