Effect of mitochondrial transfer from bone marrow stroma cells to anti-tumor T cells on T cell differentiation and function
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mitochondrialloss and dysfunctiondrive T cell exhaustion, representing major barriers to successful T cell-based immunotherapies. We found that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transfer stromal cell mitochondria into CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cells with donated mitochondria displayed enhanced mitochondrial respiration and spare respiratory capacity. When transferred into tumor-bearing hosts, these supercharged T cells expanded more robustly, infiltrated the tumor more efficiently, and exhibited fewer signs of exhaustion compared to T cells that did not take up mitochondria. As a result, mitochondria-boosted CD8+ T cells mediated superior antitumor responses, prolonging animal survival.
