DUSP22 dephosphorylates LGALS1 to enhance T cell-driven antitumor immunity

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer | |

Background <p>Insufficient infiltration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) critically restricts antitumor immunity and cancer immunotherapy efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify novel tumor cell-intrinsic regulators of T-cell infiltration and to elucidate their mechanisms of action.</p> Methods <p>We performed a genome-wide Sleeping Beauty transposon mutagenesis screen in murine breast cancer models. Protein&ndash;protein interactions were…
