The metabolic state of T cells strongly influences their effector function and anti-tumor efficacy. St. Paul et al. (2021) report that Tc22, a CD8 T cell subset with potent anti-tumor activity, upregulates the pantothenate/coenzyme A (CoA) pathway and that treatment with CoA or pantothenate is sufficient to enhance tumor immunotherapy.
T 细胞的代谢状态强烈影响其效应功能和抗肿瘤疗效。St. Paul 等人(2021 年)报告称,Tc22 是一种具有强大抗肿瘤活性的 CD8 T 细胞亚群,其上调泛酸/辅酶 A(CoA)途径,而用 CoA 或泛酸处理足以增强肿瘤免疫治疗。
