I. Siddiqui et al., « Intratumoral Tcf1+PD-1+CD8+ T Cells with Stem-like Properties Promote Tumor Control in Response to Vaccination and Checkpoint Blockade Immunotherapy. », Serveur académique Lausannois, ID : 10.1016/j.immuni.2018.12.021
Checkpoint blockade mediates a proliferative response of tumor-infiltrating CD8 + T lymphocytes (TILs). The origin of this response has remained elusive because chronic activation promotes terminal differentiation or exhaustion of tumor-specific T cells. Here we identified a subset of tumor-reactive TILs bearing hallmarks of exhausted cells and central memory cells, including expression of the checkpoint protein PD-1 and the transcription factor Tcf1. Tcf1 + PD-1 + TILs mediated the proliferative response to immunotherapy, generating both Tcf1 + PD-1 + and differentiated Tcf1 - PD-1 + cells. Ablation of Tcf1 + PD-1 + TILs restricted responses to immunotherapy. Tcf1 was not required for the generation of Tcf1 + PD-1 + TILs but was essential for the stem-like functions of these cells. Human TCF1 + PD-1 + cells were detected among tumor-reactive CD8 + T cells in the blood of melanoma patients and among TILs of primary melanomas. Thus, immune checkpoint blockade relies not on reversal of T cell exhaustion programs, but on the proliferation of a stem-like TIL subset.
