T cell-myeloid reprogramming overcomes immune resistance in colorectal cancer models
By

Summary
This article presents a scientific study on colorectal cancer (CRC) immunotherapy resistance. It shows that during anti-PD-1 treatment, tumor control is associated with colocalization of specific macrophage subtypes (MHC+ C1Q+ CXCL9+) and T cell subtypes (TCF+ PRF1+). Resistance correlates with increased expression of immune checkpoints TIM3, LAG3, TIGIT, and PD-1. The research demonstrates that targeting TREM2 macrophages alongside LAG3, CTLA4, and PD-1 reprograms the tumor microenvironment and drives antitumor immunity, achieving up to 100% tumor clearance in mismatch repair-deficient models and over 70% in mismatch repair-proficient models.
