T cell exhaustion limits antitumor immunity, but the molecular determinants of this process remain poorly understood. Using a chronic stimulation assay, we performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens to systematically discover regulators of T cell exhaustion, which identified an enrichment of epigenetic factors. CRISPR screens in murine and human tumor models demonstrated that perturbation of the INO80 and BAF chromatin remodeling complexes improved T cell persistence in tumors. Perturb-seq revealed distinct transcriptional roles of each complex and that depletion of canonical BAF complex members, including , resulted in the maintenance of an effector program and downregulation of exhaustion-related genes in tumor-infiltrating T cells. Finally, depletion limited the acquisition of exhaustion-associated chromatin accessibility and led to improved antitumor immunity. In summary, we provide an atlas of the genetic regulators of T cell exhaustion and demonstrate that modulation of epigenetic state can improve T cell responses in cancer immunotherapy.

T 细胞耗竭的全基因组 CRISPR 筛选可识别限制 T 细胞持久性的染色质重塑因子

T 细胞耗竭限制了抗肿瘤免疫,但这一过程的分子决定因素仍然知之甚少。使用慢性刺激测定,我们进行了全基因组 CRISPR-Cas9 筛选,系统地发现了 T 细胞耗竭的调节因子,从而鉴定出表观遗传因子的富集。小鼠和人类肿瘤模型中的 CRISPR 筛选表明,INO80 和 BAF 染色质重塑复合物的扰动可改善 T 细胞在肿瘤中的持久性。 Perturb-seq 揭示了每个复合体的不同转录作用,以及典型 BAF 复合体成员(包括 )的消耗,导致肿瘤浸润 T 细胞中效应程序的维持和耗竭相关基因的下调。最后,耗尽限制了与耗竭相关的染色质可及性的获得,并导致抗肿瘤免疫力的提高。总之,我们提供了 T 细胞耗竭的遗传调节因子图谱,并证明表观遗传状态的调节可以改善癌症免疫治疗中的 T 细胞反应。
