Adoptive Cell Transfer a Natural Immunotherapy for Cancer09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Scientists are excited about immunotherapy for cancer<\/a> because it supplements a patient’s own natural defenses of the immune system. Thanks to a recent study, researchers have made a discovery that could lead to more effective immunotherapy treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Is Adoptive Cell Transfer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adoptive cell transfer, one of the primary forms of immunotherapy for cancer, involves extracting a patient’s T-cells, which are a form of white blood cells that attack foreign invaders in the system. After engineering the T-cells to target the specific proteins in cancer cells, they are injected back into the patient.<\/p>\n

While adoptive cell transfer<\/a> has been successful in treating blood and bone marrow cancers, it’s been less effective with solid tumors. A team from The Scripps Research Institute and the University of California, San Diego set out to find a better way to program the T-cells.<\/p>\n

Unleashing the Power of T-Cells<\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers zeroed in on a protein known as Runx3, which appeared to specifically direct T-cells<\/a> to solid tumors. During testing on animal models, it was found that overexpression of Runx3 led to delayed tumor growth and longer life.<\/p>\n

Matthew Pipkin of Scripps said that Runx3 works on chromosomes within T-cells, enabling them to focus on killing tumor cells. Pipkin was hopeful that their discovery would pave the way for improving the effectiveness of adoptive cell transfer on solid tumors.<\/p>\n
