Résumé

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade is essential in treating progressive colorectal cancer (CRC). However, some patients with CRC do not respond well to immunotherapy, possibly due to the exhaustion of CD8 We constructed a mouse CRC model to study the effect of NAC on tumors. The effect of NAC on CD8 + T cell differentiation and its potential mechanism were explored using cell flow assay and other studies in vitro and ex vivo. We demonstrated that NAC synergized PD-1 antibodies to inhibit CRC progression in a mouse CRC model mediated by CD8 Our study provides a novel idea for immunotherapy for clinically progressive CRC and suggests that Glut4 may be a new immunometabolic molecular target for regulating CD8

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade is essential in treating progressive colorectal cancer (CRC). However, some patients with CRC do not respond well to immunotherapy, possibly due to the exhaustion of CD8
METHODS METHODS
We constructed a mouse CRC model to study the effect of NAC on tumors. The effect of NAC on CD8 + T cell differentiation and its potential mechanism were explored using cell flow assay and other studies in vitro and ex vivo.
RESULTS RESULTS
We demonstrated that NAC synergized PD-1 antibodies to inhibit CRC progression in a mouse CRC model mediated by CD8
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Our study provides a novel idea for immunotherapy for clinically progressive CRC and suggests that Glut4 may be a new immunometabolic molecular target for regulating CD8
