JNK knockdown enhances CAR-T cell cytotoxicity through elevated NFATc1-dependent transcription in preclinical ovarian cancer models

Background <p>Boosting the performance of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy in solid tumors may provide a substantial advantage for patients with cancer. Recognizing the vital role of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) in T cell function, we hypothesized the strategic regulation of NFAT activity by targeting c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) can bolster the tumor-eradicating potential…
