Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating T cells are known to encounter chronic antigens and hypoxia, which results in exhaustion and dysfunction. New data show that lactate fermentation, a characteristic of solid tumors, promotes the uptake of lactate into T cells via the monocarboxylate transporter MCT11, which reduces the metabolic fitness and anti-tumor function of these cells, an effect that might be targeted by immunotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Nature Immunology is a monthly journal that publishes the highest quality research in all areas of immunology. The editorial decisions are made by a team of full-time professional editors. The journal prioritizes work that provides translational and/or fundamental insight into the workings of the immune system. It covers a wide range of topics including innate immunity and inflammation, development, immune receptors, signaling and apoptosis, antigen presentation, gene regulation and recombination, cellular and systemic immunity, vaccines, immune tolerance, autoimmunity, tumor immunology, and microbial immunopathology. In addition to publishing significant original research, Nature Immunology also includes comments, News and Views, research highlights, matters arising from readers, and reviews of the literature. The journal serves as a major conduit of top-quality information for the immunology community.
