Xinhua News Agency, Chongqing, October 12, Chinese and foreign researchers recently discovered that a new type of immunosuppressive cells will affect the anti-tumor immune response, thus affecting the efficacy of immunotherapy in some cancer patients. This research has been published online in the internationally authoritative academic journal Nature Medicine.
According to Professor Zhu Bo from the Oncology Department of Xinqiao Hospital, in recent years, tumor immunotherapy represented by PD-1/PD-L1 antibody has made a major breakthrough and has become one of the important means of clinical cancer treatment. However, in clinical practice, the effective rate of PD-1/PD-L1 antibody in treating tumors is only between 20% and 30%. In addition to the fact that tumor cells can be continuously evolved to evade immune recognition, tumor patients can also produce more A kind of immunosuppressive cells, such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells, affect the effect of immunotherapy.
Scientists have been trying to explore other immunosuppressive cells found in tumor patients. Recently, Professor Zhu Bo teamed up with Chinese and foreign scientific research institutions to find a new erythroid progenitor cell-derived immunosuppressive cell in the peripheral blood of tumor-bearing mice, spleen, liver and peripheral blood, and tumor patients. Oxygen (ROS) inhibits CD8+ T cell-mediated immune responses, resulting in decreased antiviral/bacterial and anti-tumor immune response functions in tumor patients.
It is understood that normal erythroid precursor cells should be differentiated into normal red blood cells, but the cells discovered by Professor Zhu Bo can not only not differentiate properly, but also produce strong immunosuppressive ability, so that normal immune cells can not effectively kill. Eliminate tumor cells and remove pathogens from invading bodies. This study provides a new idea for further understanding the mechanism of tumor immunosuppression and improving the efficacy of immunotherapy in cancer patients.
