We developed a rank-based algorithm SenScoreR (publicly available at https://gxhub.shinyapps.io/SenScoreR/ ) for senescence quantification, validated with 10 independent datasets, and constructed a machine learning-based predictive model CS.Sig for immunotherapy response. Results showed that tumors had significantly lower Rank-based Senescence Score (RSS) than normal tissues across 31 cancers (average diagnostic AUC = 0.895), with low RSS linked to poor survival; high RSS correlated with reduced genomic instability, enriched CD8⁺ T/NK cell/macrophage infiltration, upregulated PD-L1 expression, and elevated immune cytolytic activity. CS.Sig demonstrated robust performance in predicting ICI response (AUC = 0.716 across 10 cohorts), outperforming 13 existing signatures, while CRISPR screening identified 17 senescence-related targets (e.g., CEP55, PPP1CC) whose knockout enhanced anti-tumor immunity.

To improve the therapeutic outcome, this study investigated the combined treatment of selinexor and a CD73 inhibitor in a murine tumor model. The expression of CD73 in multiple tumor cell lines following selinexor treatment was first analyzed. In vivo experiments were performed on J558-inoculated BALB/c mice, which were divided into vehicle group, ATG-037 (CD73 inhibitor) monotherapy group, ATG-010 (selinexor) monotherapy group, and combination therapy group. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was utilized to characterize immune cell subtypes and tumor-immune crosstalk, and immunofluorescence staining was conducted on histological tumor samples. In addition, a co-culture model of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and multiple myeloma cell lines was established to verify the synergistic anti-tumor effect and underlying mechanism of the combined regimen. The results demonstrated that selinexor treatment upregulated CD73 expression in the majority of tumors. The combination therapy remarkably suppressed tumor growth with an inhibition rate of 62%, which was superior to the monotherapy of ATG-037 (31%) and selinexor (43%). scRNA-seq analysis revealed that the combination treatment synergistically potentiates CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell activation by enhancing the interaction between CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and Enpp1 cells via the CD80-CD28 signaling pathway, and the increased infiltration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in tumor tissues of the combination group was further validated by immunofluorescence staining.

Although CAR-T cell therapy has produced remarkable results in hematologic malignancies, its translation to TNBC remains limited by poor T cell persistence, metabolic dysfunction, and rapid exhaustion. Current evidence identifies canonical costimulatory domains (CD28 and 4-1BB) as having differential effects on intracellular signaling, metabolic programming, and T cell differentiation; CD28-based CAR-T cells promote rapid activation and glycolytic metabolism but are commonly associated with terminal differentiation and decreased durability, whereas 4-1BB signaling supports mitochondrial fitness, oxidative phosphorylation, and the development of memory-like T cells that support longer-lasting persistence. The functional differences in CAR-T cells are context-dependent and influenced by antigen density, hypoxia, and other immunosuppressive signals within the TNBC tumor microenvironment. Newer costimulatory domains, such as HVEM and TNFRSF9, have added an additional layer of complexity to T cell signaling by modulating activating and inhibitory pathways, and their incorporation into CAR designs offers new ways to optimally regulate T cell responses; however, their functions are not fully defined in TNBC models. Additionally, dual costimulation strategies and combination therapies (metabolic reprogramming of T cells, epigenetic modulation, and immune checkpoint blockade) have shown promise in preclinical studies, but their translational value remains to be validated. An important message arising from this review is that while persistence may be improved through enhanced costimulatory signaling, the ideal performance of CAR T therapy occurs with the establishment of an ideal balance of stimulating signals that promote the sustained function of effector T cells while inhibiting the exhaustion of T cells and avoiding the deleterious effects of tonic activation. Furthermore, it is critical to evaluate data from TNBC models compared to other solid tumors to inform rational CAR T design strategies in TNBC.</p>","PeriodicalId":9577,"journal":{"name":"Cancer gene therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148788510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinically relevant chemotherapeutic agents, including 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin, significantly upregulate VPS35 expression, which is inversely associated with chemosensitivity. Functional assays demonstrate that VPS35 overexpression induces chemoresistance in GC cells, whereas VPS35 knockdown enhances tumor sensitivity to drug-induced cytotoxicity.
