An endogenous glucocorticoid-cytokine signaling circuit promotes CD8 <sup>+</sup> T cell dysfunction in the tumor microenvironment
2019-10-10
Abstract excerpt
Identifying signals in the tumor microenvironment (TME) that promote CD8 + T cell dysfunction can inform improved therapeutic approaches for cancer. Here, we identify that Nr3c1 , the gene encoding the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), is highly expressed in dysfunctional CD8 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The GR transactivates expression of multiple checkpoint receptors and loss of GR in CD8 + T cells l...
