Abstract

Overcoming resistance to immunotherapy in cancer is challenging due, in part, to tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) co-expressing T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing 3 (TIM3) and V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) in tumor microenvironments (TME) with sparse T cell infiltration. In a recent article, Vanmeerbeek et al. found that blocking TIM3 or VISTA on IL-4-supported TAMs, in combination with paclitaxel (PTX), reprogrammed TAMs to attack cancer cells, highlighting a potential new therapeutic strategy.
