❓ Why do some colorectal cancers resist #immunotherapy, even when they should respond?
➡️ A new study in @CellCellPress explored how immune cells inside tumors interact and discovered that resistance to PD-1 blockade may be driven by suppressive macrophages and exhausted T cells.
➡️ Researchers found that successful responses were linked to coordinated activity between cancer-fighting T cells and immune-supporting macrophages that help activate anti-tumor immunity.
➡️ Tumors that resisted treatment showed higher levels of TREM2+ macrophages and multiple immune checkpoints, including LAG3 and CTLA4, creating an immunosuppressive tumor environment.
➡️ By combining PD-1 blockade with therapies targeting LAG3, CTLA4 and TREM2, researchers achieved complete tumor clearance in up to 100% of mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer models.
🌟 The findings highlight how reprogramming immune cell communication inside tumors could help overcome immunotherapy resistance and improve outcomes for more patients with colorectal cancer.
