This state of exhaustion is accompanied by the upregulation of various inhibitory receptors and significant shifts in both transcriptional and epigenetic profiles, thus ultimately leading to inadequate tumor control. Therapeutic strategies aimed at reversing CD8⁺ T cell exhaustion have the potential to rejuvenate immune responses and enhance treatment efficacy. This review compiles current knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying CD8⁺ T cell exhaustion, including the roles of immune checkpoint molecules, the tumor microenvironment, metabolic reprogramming, transcription factors, and epigenetic modifications. Emerging therapeutic approaches designed to combat CD8⁺ T cell exhaustion are evaluated, with emphasis on the modulation of immune checkpoints; targeting of metabolic and transcriptional changes; and exploration of other innovative strategies, such as epigenetic editing and engineered CAR-T cells. Importantly, we expand the exhaustion concept to immune cells beyond CD8⁺ T cells, such as CD4⁺ T cells, natural killer cells, and myeloid populations, thereby highlighting the broader implications of systemic immunosuppression in the cancer context. Finally, we propose avenues for future research aimed at further elucidating the factors and molecular mechanisms associated with CD8⁺ T cell exhaustion, thereby underscoring the critical need for strategies aimed at reversing this state to improve outcomes in cancer immunotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":9611,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Biology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12240197/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
