Adoptive cell therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can mediate tumor regression, including complete and durable responses, in a range of solid cancers, most notably in melanoma. However, its wider application and efficacy has been restricted by the limited accessibility, proliferative capacity and effector function of tumor-specific TIL. Here, we develop a platform for the efficient identification of tumor-specific TCR genes from diagnostic tumor biopsies, including core-needle biopsies frozen in a non-viable format, to enable engineered T cell therapy.

Background: Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients are the dominant population in immune checkpoint blockade treatments, while more than half of them could not benefit from single-agent immunotherapy. We tried to identify the biomarker of MSI-H CRC and explore its role and mechanism in anti-PD-1 treatments. Tumor-specific MHC-II was linked to a better response to anti-PD-1 in MSI-H CRC and CD74 promoted assembly and transport of HLA-DR dimers.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common digestive cancer in the world. Microsatellite stability (MSS) and microsatellite instability (MSI-high) are important molecular subtypes of CRC closely related to tumor occurrence and progression and immunotherapy efficacy. The presence of CD8 CXCR5 follicular cytotoxic T (T) cells is strongly associated with autoimmune disease and CD8 effector function.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment modality, offering promising outcomes for various malignancies. However, the efficacy of ICIs varies among patients, highlighting the essential need of accurate predictive biomarkers. This review synthesizes the current understanding of biomarkers for ICI therapy, and discusses the clinical utility and limitations of these biomarkers in predicting treatment outcomes.

Background: Positive regulators of T-cell function (PTFRs), integral to T-cell proliferation and activation, have been identified as potential prognostic markers in colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite this, their role within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and their response to immunotherapy are not yet fully understood.

Methods: This study delved into PTFR-related CRC subtypes by analyzing four independent transcriptome datasets, emphasizing the most significant prognostic PTFRs.
