Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have previously reported a trend that PD-1 antibody-unresponsiveness patients with lung cancer and head and neck tumor carry high frequency of peripheral CD8+ PD1high T-cells in PBMC. The aim of this study was to analyse the phenotype of peripheral CD8+ PD1high T cells and to investigate the significance of these cells in cancer immunotherapy. Spatio-temporal CD8+ PD1high T-cell dynamics were verified using the KikGR mouse model, but T-cell color conversion by UV irradiation in tumours remained a challenge due to many difficulties. On the other hand, single cell RNA seq analysis using cancer patients' PBMC provided a lot of useful information on CD8+ PD1high T cells during the PD-1 blockade cancer immunotherapy.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はがん免疫チェックポイント阻害治療(PD-1抗体治療:ICI治療と略す)に有効な患者と抵抗性のある患者を見分けるバイオマーカーについて、キラーT細胞のPD-1発現という観点から研究を進めた。以前の研究にて末梢血キラー細胞上のPD-1発現が高い細胞群が多いとICI治療に抵抗性になる傾向があることを発表した。本研究ではこの意義について研究し、これらの細胞の時空間的制御を明らかにした。この結果は、このバイオマーカーの生物学的な科学的根拠を示すだけでなく、次世代の新規がん治療につながる成果である。
