Abstract

Abstract Expansion of antigen-experienced CD8 + T cells is critical for the success of tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-adoptive cell therapy (ACT) in patients with cancer 1 . Interleukin-2 (IL-2) acts as a key regulator of CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocyte functions by promoting expansion and cytotoxic capability 2,3 . Therefore, it is essential to comprehend mechanistic barriers to IL-2 sensing in the tumour microenvironment to implement strategies to reinvigorate IL-2 responsiveness and T cell antitumour responses. Here we report that prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2 ), a known negative regulator of immune response in the tumour microenvironment 4,5 , is present at high concentrations in tumour tissue from patients…
