Abstract Adoptive cell therapies (ACTs) have existed for decades. From the initial infusion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to subsequent specific enhanced T receptor (TCR)-T and chimeric antigen (CAR)-T therapies, many novel strategies cancer treatment been developed. Owing its promising outcomes, CAR-T therapy has revolutionized field ACTs, particularly hematologic malignancies. Despite these advances, still limitations in both autologous allogeneic settings, including practicality toxicity issues. To overcome challenges, researchers focused on application CAR engineering technology other types immune engineering. Consequently, several new based developed, CAR-NK, CAR-macrophage, CAR-γδT, CAR-NKT. In this review, we describe development, advantages, possible challenges aforementioned ACTs discuss current aimed at maximizing therapeutic potential ACTs. We also provide an overview various gene transduction employed immunotherapy given their importance Furthermore, possibility that capable creating a positive feedback circuit, as healthy systems do, could address flaw single type ACT, thus serve key players future immunotherapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy targeting CD19 has achieved tremendous success treating B malignancies; however, some patients fail to respond due poor autologous fitness. To improve response rates, we investigated whether disruption of the co-inhibitory receptors CTLA4 or PD-1 could restore CART function. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated deletion in preclinical models leukemia and myeloma improved CAR proliferation anti-tumor efficacy. Importantly, this effect was specific not seen upon and/or PDCD1 cells. Mechanistically, deficiency permitted unopposed CD28 signaling maintenance expression on surface under conditions high load. In clinical studies, rescued function cells from with that previously failed treatment. Thus, selective reinvigorates dysfunctional chronic lymphocytic (CLL) patient cells, providing a strategy for increasing responses therapy.

We found that BATF3 overexpression promoted specific features memory cells attenuated programs cytotoxicity, regulatory function, exhaustion. Upon chronic antigen stimulation, countered phenotypic signatures Moreover, enhanced potency CAR in both vitro vivo tumor models programmed a correlates positive clinical therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for hematological malignancies, but its adaptation to solid tumors is impeded by multiple challenges, particularly dysfunction and exhaustion. The heterogeneity inhospitableness of the tumor microenvironment (TME) contribute diminished CAR efficacy exhibited reduced cytotoxicity, proliferation, cytokine secretion, upregulation inhibitory receptors, similar phenotype tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). In this review, we highlight recent advances in tumors, brain cancer.
