项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The exquisite sensitivity and specificity of T cells for their targets offers considerable promise for the use of immunotherapy in cancer control. However, in many instances, T cells found within tumors are dysfunctional. A major cause for this dysfunctional state is the expression of inhibitory molecules. We have found that the expression of inhibitory molecules by both murine and human tumor infiltrating CD8+ cytotoxic T cells correlates strongly with the expression of the transcription factor BLIMP-1. In this application we show that tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells over-express BLIMP-1 compared to CD8+ T cells responding to acute viral infection. We show that limiting BLIMP-1 expression in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes results in reduced inhibitory molecule expression and increased functional activity. Further, we show that BLIMP-1 expression controls CD8+ T cell function beyond the expression of inhibitory molecules. From these data, we propose to pursue studies that will define how BLIMP-1 expression is regulated in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, and will determine how BLIMP-1 expression regulates tumor infiltrating lymphocyte function. The studies presented here will illuminate the mechanisms behind tumor infiltrating lymphocyte dysfunction, and will provide opportunities to develop interventions that either prevent dysfunction, or restore activity.

描述（由申请人提供）：T细胞对其靶标的精致灵敏度和特异性为在癌症控制中使用免疫疗法提供了相当大的希望。但是，在许多情况下，在肿瘤中发现的T细胞功能失调。这种功能失调状态的主要原因是抑制分子的表达。我们发现，鼠类和人类肿瘤浸润CD8+细胞毒性T细胞的抑制性分子表达与转录因子Blimp-1的表达密切相关。在此应用中，我们表明，与对急性病毒感染反应的CD8+ T细胞相比，肿瘤浸润CD8+ T细胞过表达的平淡-1过表达。我们表明，在肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞中限制BLIMP-1表达会导致抑制性分子表达降低和功能活性增加。此外，我们表明Blimp-1表达控制CD8+ T细胞功能超出抑制分子的表达。从这些数据中，我们建议进行研究，以定义如何在肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞中调节Blimp-1表达如何调节，并将确定Blimp-1表达如何调节肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞功能。此处介绍的研究将阐明肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞功能障碍的机制，并将提供开发预防功能障碍或恢复的干预措施的机会活动。
