开发下一代免疫疗法的单细胞基因组方法
2020-02-04 10:57

近日,以色列魏茨曼科学研究所Ido Amit等研究人员讨论了开发下一代免疫疗法的单细胞基因组方法。这一论文2020年2月3日在线发表在国际学术期刊《自然—医学》上。

研究人员表示,单细胞基因组学的近期进展促进了其在药物开发中应用,特别是在癌症免疫疗法中。当前的免疫疗法方案集中在功能出口以及简单的细胞和分子结果。免疫疗法药物靶向细胞和通路的认知匮乏限制了临床试验的成功率。如果在临床队列和模型系统中,治疗前后以高分辨率对免疫治疗靶细胞和通路进行表征,可以实现巨大的飞跃。这可能快速促进有效免疫疗法和协同药物组合设计的发展。

Title: Single-cell genomic approaches for developing the next generation of immunotherapies

Abstract: Recent progress in single-cell genomics urges its application in drug development, particularly of cancer immunotherapies. Current immunotherapy pipelines are focused on functional outcome and simple cellular and molecular readouts. A thorough mechanistic understanding of the cells and pathways targeted by immunotherapy agents is lacking, which limits the success rate of clinical trials. A large leap forward can be made if the immunotherapy target cells and pathways are characterized at high resolution before and after treatment, in clinical cohorts and model systems. This will enable rapid development of effective immunotherapies and data-driven design of synergistic drug combinations. In this Perspective, we discuss how emerging single-cell genomic technologies can serve as an engine for target identification and drug development.
