Abstract
CAR T cell therapy, hailed as a breakthrough in cancer treatment due to its remarkable outcomes in hematological malignancies, encounters significant hurdles when applied to solid tumors. While notable responses to CAR T cells remain sporadic in these patients, challenges persist due to issues such as on-target off-tumor toxicity, difficulties in their trafficking and infiltration into the tumor, and the presence of a hostile and immunosuppressive microenvironment. This review aims to explore recent endeavors aimed at overcoming these obstacles in CAR T cell therapy for solid tumors. Specifically, we will delve into promising strategies for enhancing tumor specificity through antigen targeting, addressing tumor heterogeneity, overcoming physical barriers, and counteracting the immune-suppressive microenvironment.
CAR T 细胞疗法因其在血液恶性肿瘤中的显著疗效而被誉为癌症治疗领域的一大突破，但在应用于实体瘤时却遇到了重大障碍。虽然这些患者对 CAR T 细胞的显著反应仍是零星的，但由于靶向肿瘤外毒性、肿瘤内运输和浸润困难以及存在敌意和免疫抑制性微环境等问题，挑战依然存在。本综述旨在探讨最近旨在克服 CAR T 细胞治疗实体瘤的这些障碍的努力。具体来说，我们将深入探讨通过抗原靶向增强肿瘤特异性、解决肿瘤异质性、克服物理障碍以及对抗免疫抑制性微环境的可行策略。
期刊介绍：
Contemporary biomedical research is on the threshold of an era in which physiological and pathological processes can be analyzed in increasingly precise and mechanistic terms.The transformation of biology from a largely descriptive, phenomenological discipline to one in which the regulatory principles can be understood and manipulated with predictability brings a new dimension to the study of cancer and the search for effective therapeutic modalities for this disease. Cancer and Metastasis Reviews provides a forum for critical review and discussion of these challenging developments.
A major function of the journal is to review some of the more important and interesting recent developments in the biology and treatment of malignant disease, as well as to highlight new and promising directions, be they technological or conceptual. Contributors are encouraged to review their personal work and be speculative.
