제목: How can we enhance treatment responses of anti-PD-1?

 

초록:

During immune responses, antigen-specific T cells are regulated by various mechanisms including inhibitory receptors and regulatory T cells to avoid excessive and persistent immune responses. These regulatory mechanisms, called ‘immune checkpoint’, suppress T cell responses particularly in chronic viral infection and cancer, in which viral antigens or tumor antigens persist for a longtime, and lead to T cell exhaustion in patients with chronic viral infection or cancer. Among them, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) are the most well-known receptors and have been targeted for drug development. As a result, anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 (or anti-PD-L1) blocking antibodies were developed for cancer treatment and known as ‘immune checkpoint inhibitors’. However, anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 (or anti-PD-L1) blocking antibodies fail to control tumors in a significant proportion of cancer patients. Therefore, it is an important question how the coverage of immune checkpoint inhibitors can be extended to the majority of cancer patients who do not have control or regression of their cancer. In this lecture, strategies to improve treatment responses of anti-PD-1 will be discussed, including novel immuno-modulators and biomarkers predicting treatment responses.
