Key enzyme identified as potential target for cancer immunotherapy

Scientists from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have uncovered that a key enzyme—P4HA1 prolyl hydroxylase, is strongly induced in CD8+ T cells in solid cancer, the primary immune cells involved in combating cancer. P4HA1 causes disruptions in energy production within the cells, which leads to weaker immune cells that are less able to fight cancer and form long-lasting anti-cancer immunity, highlighting P4HA1 as a promising target for treating solid tumors.
