Acetylcysteine synergizes PD-1 blockers against colorectal cancer progression by promoting TCF1+PD1+CD8+ T cell differentiation
17 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
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+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) can reduce CD8+ T cell exhaustion in vitro and induce their differentiation into long-lasting phenotypes, thus enhancing the anti-tumor...
