Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Competition in the Tumor Microenvironment Is a Driver of Cancer Progression
Chih-Hao Chang,Jing Qiu,David O’Sullivan,Michael D. Buck,Takuro Noguchi,Jonathan D. Curtis,Qiongyu Chen,Mariel Gindin,Matthew M. Gubin,Gerritje J.W. van der Windt,Elena Tonc,Robert D. Schreiber,Edward J. Pearce,Erika L. Pearce +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that tumor-imposed metabolic restrictions can mediate T cell hyporesponsiveness during cancer, and it is found that blocking PD-L1 directly on tumors dampens glycolysis by inhibiting mTOR activity and decreasing expression of gly colysis enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy targets tumour-specific mutant antigens

Mardis,William E. Gillanders,Maxim N. Artyomov,Robert D. Schreiber +26 more
TL;DR: Tumour-specific mutant proteins are identified as a major class of T-cell rejection antigens following anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 therapy of mice bearing progressively growing sarcomas, and it is shown that therapeutic synthetic long-peptide vaccines incorporating these mutant epitopes induce tumour rejection comparably to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posttranscriptional Control of T Cell Effector Function by Aerobic Glycolysis
Chih-Hao Chang,Jonathan D. Curtis,Leonard B. Maggi,Brandon Faubert,Alejandro V. Villarino,David O’Sullivan,Stanley Ching-Cheng Huang,Gerritje J.W. van der Windt,Julianna Blagih,Jing Qiu,Jason D. Weber,Edward J. Pearce,Russell G. Jones,Erika L. Pearce +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that aerobic glycolysis is specifically required for effector function in T cells but that this pathway is not necessary for proliferation or survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing CD8 T-cell memory by modulating fatty acid metabolism.
Erika L. Pearce,Matthew C. Walsh,Paloma Cejas,Gretchen M. Harms,Hao Shen,Li-San Wang,Russell G. Jones,Yongwon Choi +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), an adaptor protein in the TNF-receptor and interleukin-1R/Toll-like receptor superfamily, regulates CD8 TM-cell development after infection by modulating fatty acid metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial Respiratory Capacity Is a Critical Regulator of CD8+ T Cell Memory Development
Gerritje J.W. van der Windt,Bart Everts,Chih-Hao Chang,Jonathan D. Curtis,Tori C. Freitas,Eyal Amiel,Edward J. Pearce,Erika L. Pearce +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that interleukin-15 (IL-15), a cytokine critical for CD8(+) memory T cells, regulated SRC and oxidative metabolism by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and expression of carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT1a).
