Strategies to Enhance Migration and Persistence of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cells into Tumors Yuhui Chen, Gianpietro Dotti, and Barbara Savoldo
Abstract Since the past few decades, immunotherapy based on the adoptive transfer of tumor-specific T-cells is providing a promising form of cancer treatment. This result has been obtained through the improvement of the methodologies used to expand ex vivo antigen-specific T cells, and through technology advancements in T-cell engineering aimed at transferring into these cells chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or αβTCRs chains. High enthusiasm is especially directed to the CAR technology, as this confers MHC-independent antigen-specificity to T cells, thus allowing broad clinical applications. The greatest advances have been achieved in lymphoid malignancies, while the clinical benefits of CAR-T cells to solid tumors still remain uncertain. In this review we will explore two of the problems that are currently perceived as limiting the success of the clinical translation of CAR-T cells in solid tumors: namely, the recruitment and survival of tumor-specific T cells in the microenvironment. Keywords Chimeric antigen receptor • Immunotherapy • Chemokines • Migration and Infiltration • Improving Persistence • Overcoming immune-evasion
