Abstract

Elevated glycolytic metabolism is essential for CD8+ Tcell antitumor function, but cell-intrinsic factors modulating this process remain elusive. In this issue, Hu etal. (2019) show that the lipid kinase acylglycerol kinase (AGK) promotes the glycolytic and functional fitness of CD8+ Tcells by inactivating PTEN and boosting mTOR activity, thereby promoting antitumor activity.
