The yin and yang of bacterial Asn in tumor biology

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe , Qiao et al. show that Bacteroides asparaginase reshapes anti-tumor immunity. When bacteria deplete asparagine, CD8⁺ T cells lose stemness and effector capacity, promoting tumor progression and weakening anti-PD-1 therapy. Deleting asparaginase restores asparagine to the tumor, enhancing anti-tumor immunity and immunotherapy.
