RESUMO

Activation of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex is critical to induce the anti-tumor response of CD8+ T cells. Here, we found that disulfiram (DSF), an FDA-approved drug previously used to treat alcohol dependency, directly activates TCR signaling. Mechanistically, DSF covalently binds to Cys20/Cys23 residues of lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) and enhances its tyrosine 394 phosphorylation, thereby promoting LCK kinase activity and boosting effector T cell function, interleukin-2 production, metabolic reprogramming, and proliferation. Furthermore, our in vivo data revealed that DSF promotes anti-tumor immunity against both melanoma and colon cancer in mice by activating CD8+ T cells, and this effect was enhanced by anti-PD-1 co-treatment. We conclude that DSF directly activates LCK-mediated TCR signaling to induce strong anti-tumor immunity, providing novel molecular insights into the therapeutic effect of DSF on cancer.

RESUMO

RNA modification represents one of the most ubiquitous mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and plays an essential role in modulating cell proliferation, differentiation, fate determination, and other biological activities. At present, over 170 types of RNA modification have been discovered in messenger RNA (mRNA) and noncoding RNA (ncRNA). RNA methylation, as an abundant and widely studied epigenetic modification, is crucial for regulating various physiological or pathological states, especially immune responses. Considering the biological significance of T cells as a defense against viral infection and tumor challenge, in this review, we will summarize recent findings of how RNA methylation regulates T cell homeostasis and function, discuss the open questions in this rapidly expanding field of RNA modification, and provide the theoretical basis and potential therapeutic strategies involving targeting of RNA methylation to orchestrate beneficial T cell immune responses.
