About the research project

Recent scientific advancement in personalized cancer immunotherapy has demonstrated the effectiveness of collecting tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from tumors and expand ex-vivo and deliver them back into the patient as a therapeutic agent. However, only a small portion of the ex vivo TILs are truly tumor-reacting TILs whereas the rest are bystander cells. This challenge warrants for solutions aiming for targeting of tumor-reactive TILs and reprogram them into long-lived effector cells. Emerging evidence indicate that exhausted TILs are partly a result of a distinct epigenetic reprogramming, where poor metabolic fitness of the T cells reinforce exhaustion. This can be a result of dysfunctional mitochondria and loss of biogenesis activity.

In this project – supported by a grant from Danish Cancer Society – we will explore if reversing of epigenetic-mediated metabolic fitness loss in T cells can promote re-proliferation and activation of tumor-reactive T cells and whether this can be targeted directly within the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Laboratory for Cancer, Immunity and Inflammation is led by Professor Martin R Jakobsen. The group is specialized in exploring the immune system in cancer and using cutting-edge technologies to identify novel therapeutics that manipulate the immune system and support stronger anti-tumoral effects.

About the research project

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a unique subset of dendritic cells that play a crucial role in the immune system, notable for their ability to produce high levels of type I interferons, which are essential in antiviral defense and regulating various immune responses. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells were first identified in the late 1990s as a subpopulation of dendritic cells. Most recently, they were proposed to be reclassified as an innate lymphocyte. We know they have an eminent role in different disease settings spanning from viral infections, to inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases as well as cancer.

Importantly, pDCs are very sparse in the body, resistant to manipulations and long-term culture ex vivo, and therefore have been difficult to study in details. Nonetheless, due to their unique functions in immunity, plasmacytoid dendritic cells have attracted interest in therapeutic research. Our research team has over the past many years developed and refined a stem-cell pDC differentiation system that allows genetic manipulation of pDC to enhance antiviral responses or suppress immune reactions. We use this platform to increase our understanding of pDC biology which in the future can become essential for developing targeted therapies in the fight against infectious diseases, immune-related disorders and cancer.

In the current project, we will focus on exploring the mechanisms supporting human pDCs killing capacities. We will use genetic screening systems to identify what factors support pDCs in enhancing in their anti-tumor functionality and killing capacity.

Laboratory for Cancer, Immunity and Inflammation is led by Professor Martin R Jakobsen. The group has specialized in human pDCs over the past decade and made significant contributions to the understanding of pDCs – particularly the development of a method that allows genetic engineering and production of human pDCs from stem cells (PMID: 36232698; 35858624; 35178710; 34473049; 32528903; 30166549). The laboratory have projects focusing on: pDC transcription factor functions; pDC involvement in tumor development; pDC function in viral infections; and the molecular mechanisms for pDC cytotoxicity effector functions.
