Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Administration of normal CD8+ T cell exosomes to tumor lesions showed no dramatic improvement in T cell infiltration of tumor. We decided to conduct an experiment using exosomes obtained from the culture supernatant of CAR-T cells that had been given specificity to the tumor cells. It was revealed that CAR-T cell exosomes have a dual cytotoxic function of CAR-specific tumor cells as well as stromal cells such as CAF and MSC. CAR-T cell exosomes have a possibility to be an effective adjuvant for modulating tumor microenvironment in T cell therapy, and we are currently conducting research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
がん組織は、がん細胞からなるがん実質とがん関連線維芽細胞(CAF)や間葉系幹細胞(MSC)などからなるがん間質からなり、それらが、どのように協調しがん組織を形成し、抗腫瘍免疫応答に対する回避機構を獲得しているのかについては、未だ変わらないことが多い。本研究は、非特異的なCD8+ T細胞エクソソームからがん細胞に特異的なCAR-T細胞の放出するエクソソームへと使用するエクソソームを変更したが、エクソソームのがん間質細胞に取り込まれやすい性質は、がんの微小環境の理解を深めることはもちろん、がん治療の補助剤としての利用価値もあり、学術的にも社会的にも重要だと考えている。
