Abstract Autologous T-cell therapies show limited efficacy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), where acquired immune dysfunction prevails. In CLL, disturbed mitochondrial metabolism has been linked to defective activation and proliferation. Recent research suggests that lipid regulates function differentiation T cells, yet its role CLL remains unexplored. This comprehensive study compares patients healthy donors, revealing critical dependence on exogenous cholesterol for human expansion following TCR-mediated activation. Using multi-omics functional assays, we found cells present viably frozen samples of with (CLL cells) showed impaired adaptation deprivation inadequate upregulation key transcription factors. exhibited altered storage, increased triacylglycerols decreased cholesterol, inefficient fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Functional consequences reduced FAO were studied using from inherent disorders.

Abstract The complex interplay between cancer progression and immune senescence is critically influenced by metabolic reprogramming in T cells. As cells age, especially within the tumor microenvironment, they undergo significant shifts that may hinder their proliferation functionality. This manuscript reviews how alterations contribute to cell discusses potential therapeutic strategies aimed at reversing these changes. We explore interventions such as mitochondrial enhancement, glycolytic inhibition, lipid metabolism adjustments could rejuvenate senescent cells, potentially restoring efficacy suppression. review also focuses on significance of with aging further explores future direction metabolism-based immunotherapy

Inhibiting indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) for anticancer therapy has garnered significant attention in recent years. However, current IDO inhibitors face challenges which limit their clinical application. Here, we genetically engineered a high tryptophan-expressing Clostridium butyricum (L-Trp CB) strain that can colonize tumors strictly following systemic administration. We revealed butyrate produced by L-Trp CB inhibit activity, preventing tryptophan catabolism and kynurenine accumulation tumors. In addition, the large released provide discrete signals support CD8+ T cell activation energy metabolism within tumor microenvironment. observed significantly restored proportion function of cells, leading to delayed growth both mouse rabbit multiple models with limited side effects. here synthetic biology treatment strategy enhanced immunotherapy inhibiting activity reprogramming response

Abstract Nutrient stress represents a significant barrier for antitumor immunity, and tumor interstitial fluid (TIF) often contains metabolites that hinder immune function. However, it is difficult to isolate the effects of nutrient from other suppressive factors. Thus, we employed chemically-defined cell culture medium based on metabolomic profile TIF: Tumor Interstitial Fluid Medium (TIFM). Culture CD8 + T cells in TIFM limited expansion impaired effector functions upon restimulation, suggesting alone sufficient drive dysfunction. We identified phosphoethanolamine (pEtn), phospholipid intermediate, as driver pEtn dampened TCR signaling by depleting diacylglycerol required signal transduction. Reduction accumulation tumors improved intratumoral function control, plays dominant role TME immunosuppression.

Background Fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) boosts the antitumour immune response in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The gut microbiota is a key host immunity regulator, affecting physiological homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Objective We aimed to investigate how FMD protects against CRC via modulation. Design assessed probiotic species enrichment FMD-treated mice using faecal metagenomic sequencing. candidate were verified antibiotic-treated conventional germ-free mouse models. Immune landscape alterations evaluated single-cell RNA sequencing multicolour flow cytometry. microbiota-derived metabolites identified metabolomic profiling.
