Abstract
- Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells exhibit promising results for cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical success is still restricted to certain types of blood cancers, while in solid tumors the clinical activity is modest and potential toxicities remain a concern. There are various barriers that prevent CAR T cells from combating solid tumors. Therefore, distinct strategies have been explored to augment CAR T cell proliferative capacity, persistence, and effector function. Altering the tumor microenvironment, and in particular its physiochemical properties and immunosuppressive milieu, is of great significance to facilitate CAR T cell therapy. In this article, emerging strategies implemented to overcome the barriers of CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors are reviewed. Enhancing infiltration, activation, and persistence of CAR T cells has been addressed in several preclinical models. The future development of this field to promote innovation and clinical translation is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
