Tumor-Enriched VCAN⁺ Macrophages Induce CD8⁺ T-Cell Exhaustion via STAT3–SPP1 Axis in Gastric Cancer
2026-05-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) achieves limited success in gastric cancer (GC), underscoring a need to resolve cellular mechanisms of resistance. Through single-cell transcriptomics, multi-omics profiling, and functional assays, we define a VCAN⁺ tumor-associated macrophage subset (VCAN⁺Mph) selectively enriched in GC tumors and linked to CD8⁺ T-cell dysfunction. VCAN⁺Mph resides at a...
