Abstract:
[Abstract] T cell receptor-engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapy is one of the hotspots in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Considerable achievements have been made since the first successful clinical trial in 2006. However, problems still remain in cytotoxicity, safety and persistence of TCR-T therapy despite the rapid development. Improving the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and enhancingchemotaxis,infiltration as well as activation of TCR-T cell will be the key to improve its anti-tumor effect. Neoantigens, which are highly tumor-specific and immunogenic,are the basis for safe and effective treatment and individualized cancer immunotherapy. Besides,infusion of less differentiated T cell subsets is also a reliable way to generate a long-lasting immune response. Here, combing with current research progress, we offer our perspectives on the current situation and challenges of TCR-T from the three aspects above.
