FAS ligand (FAS-L)/FAS interactions govern lymphocyte homeostasis. Knowledge of which cells express FAS-L in patients with cancer and whether these sources compromise CAR persistence remains incomplete. Here, we constructed a single-cell atlas of diverse cancers to identify cellular subsets expressing FASLG, the gene encoding FAS-L. We discovered that FASLG expression is limited primarily to endogenous T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and CAR-T cells, while tumor and stromal cell expression is minimal. To establish whether CAR-T and CAR-NK cell survival is FAS-L regulated, we performed competitive fitness assays using FAS-dominant negative receptor (ΔFAS)-modified lymphocytes. Following transfer, ΔFAS-expressing CAR-T/CAR-NK cells became enriched, a phenomenon that mechanistically was reverted through FASLG knockout. By contrast, FASLG was dispensable for CAR-mediated tumor killing. In multiple models in female mice, ΔFAS coexpression enhanced antitumor efficacy. Together, these findings reveal that CAR-engineered lymphocyte persistence is governed by a FAS-L/FAS autoregulatory circuit.</p>","PeriodicalId":18885,"journal":{"name":"Nature cancer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144691027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we provide an updated summary of the mechanisms known to drive CH in blood cancers and solid tumors. In addition, we review proposed strategies to intercept CH and examine their impact on solid tumor-directed therapies, including immunostimulatory therapies.
