Functional persistence of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is required for sustaining an antitumor response. Recently, Jain et al. revealed that disruption of TET2 in CAR T cells resulted in antigen-independent CAR T cell hyperproliferation that enhanced tumor control in mice, highlighting the potential of epigenetic strategies to improve T cell-based cancer immunotherapy.
嵌合抗原受体 (CAR) T 细胞的功能持久性是维持抗肿瘤反应所必需的。最近,Jain 等人揭示了 CAR T 细胞中 TET2 的破坏导致了抗原非依赖性的 CAR T 细胞过度增殖,从而增强了小鼠的肿瘤控制,这凸显了表观遗传策略在改善基于 T 细胞的癌症免疫疗法方面的潜力。
