In vivo study shows CAR-T cell survival relies on IL-2 in tumor microenvironment, indicating adaptation strategies are essential.

The aim is to identify factors influencing CAR-T cell survival and adaptation in the tumor microenvironment.
Developed a tumor model to compare CAR-T cells and TCR-T cells
Conducted an in vivo CRISPR screen targeting cell death-related genes
Assessed survival and fitness of CAR-T cells in vitro and in vivo
CD8 CAR-T cells showed a survival disadvantage in vivo compared to TCR-T cells
Deletion of Il2ra decreased fitness under in vitro conditions but improved survival in vivo
IL-2 signaling affects CAR-T cell survival and dependence in the tumor microenvironment

Hathaway et al. (2025) studied this question.
