The cancer genomic instability drives the generation of neoantigens, making them ideal targets for immunotherapy. Neoantigen-specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes achieve precise tumor cell killing by recognizing neoantigens on the tumor surface, but their efficacy is limited by complex physical barriers within the tumor microenvironment. These barriers not only directly impede TIL migration and infiltration but also synergize with immunosuppressive signals to weaken antitumor immune responses. The tumor extracellular matrix forms a dense fibrous network due to enhanced collagen crosslinking, pathological hyaluronic acid deposition, and increased stiffness, hindering TIL mobility. Aberrant tumor vasculature, characterized by hyperpermeability and elevated interstitial fluid pressure, collaborates with pro-fibrotic factors, such as VEGF, TGF-β secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts and regulatory T cells to create mechanical compression barriers. This review systematically explores the composition, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic strategies targeting these physical barriers, providing novel insights for neoantigen-based therapies. Future efforts should integrate biomechanical interventions with immunotherapy, elucidate the interplay between mechanical signaling and immunometabolism, and optimize multi-target combinatorial approaches to enhance the clinical translation potential of neoantigen therapies.
癌症基因组不稳定性驱动新抗原的产生,使其成为免疫治疗的理想靶点。新抗原特异性肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞通过识别肿瘤表面的新抗原实现对肿瘤细胞的精准杀伤,但其疗效受到肿瘤微环境中复杂物理屏障的限制。这些屏障不仅直接阻碍肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞的迁移和浸润,还与免疫抑制信号协同作用,削弱抗肿瘤免疫反应。肿瘤细胞外基质由于胶原交联增强、病理性透明质酸沉积和硬度增加而形成致密的纤维网络,阻碍肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞的移动。异常的肿瘤血管以高通透性和升高的间质液压力为特征,与促纤维化因子协同作用,如癌症相关成纤维细胞和调节性T细胞分泌的血管内皮生长因子、转化生长因子-β,形成机械压迫屏障。本综述系统地探讨了针对这些物理屏障的组成、分子机制和治疗策略,为基于新抗原的治疗提供了新的见解。未来的工作应将生物力学干预与免疫治疗相结合,阐明机械信号与免疫代谢之间的相互作用,并优化多靶点联合方法,以提高新抗原治疗的临床转化潜力。
