AI Article Synopsis
- Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells act as immune guardians in tissues, playing a crucial role in fighting solid tumors and improving cancer treatment outcomes.
- Recent research shows that these T cells are vital for effective cancer surveillance and are associated with positive responses to immunotherapy in patients.
- The review discusses the latest insights into the characteristics and regulation of T cells, particularly in gastrointestinal cancers, and emphasizes their potential in clinical applications.
Article Abstract
Tissue-resident memory T (T) cells have emerged as immune sentinels that patrol the tissue microenvironment and orchestrate localized antitumor immunity in various solid cancers. Recent studies have revealed that T cells are key players in cancer immunosurveillance, and their involvement has been linked to favorable responses to immunotherapy as well as general better clinical outcome in cancer patients. In this review, we provide an overview of the major advances and recent findings regarding T cells phenotype, transcriptional and epigenetic regulation in cancer with a special focus on gastrointestinal tumors. Finally, we highlight the exciting clinical implication of T cells in these types of tumors.
