Hypoxia drives CD39-dependent suppressor function in exhausted T cells to limit antitumor immunity
Open accessAbstract
CD8+ T cells are critical for elimination of cancer cells. Factors within the tumor microenvironment (TME) can drive these cells to a hypofunctional state known as exhaustion. The most terminally exhausted T (tT ex) cells are resistant to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy and might instead limit immunotherapeutic efficacy. Here we show that intratumoral CD8+ tT ex cells possess transcriptional features of CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and are similarly capable of directly suppressing T cell proliferation ex vivo. tT ex cell suppression requires CD39, which generates immunosuppressive adenosine. Restricted deletion of CD39 in endogenous CD8+ T cells resulted in slowed tumor progression, improved immunotherapy responsiveness and enhanced infiltration of transferred tumor-specific T cells. CD39 is induced on tT ex cells by tumor hypoxia, thus mitigation of hypoxia limits tT ex suppression. Together, these data suggest tT ex cells are an important regulatory population in cancer and strategies to limit their generation, reprogram their immunosuppressive state or remove them from the TME might potentiate immunotherapy.

In the citing paper
“Independent of glycolysis, the HIFs can induce the production of immunosuppressive metabolites such as adenosine by transcriptionally activating ectoenzymes such as ENTPD2/CD39L1, CD39, and CD73 (Table 1), which contribute to the multistep conversion of extracellular ATP through ADP/AMP to adenosine, thus promoting the maintenance of MDSCs, which limits the activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
