| 摘要 | Tumor recurrence after chemoradiotherapy is challenging to overcome, and approaches to predict the recurrence remain elusive. Here, human cervical cancer tissues before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) analyzed by single -cell RNA sequencing reveal that CCRT specifically promotes CD8 + T cell senescence, driven by atypical chemokine receptor 2 (ACKR2) + CCRT-resistant tumor cells. Mechanistically, ACKR2 expression is increased in response to CCRT and is also upregulated through the ligation of CC chemokines that are produced by activated myeloid and T cells. Subsequently, ACKR2 + tumor cells are induced to produce transforming growth factor b to drive CD8 + T cell senescence, thereby compromising antitumor immunity. Moreover, retrospective analysis reveals that ACKR2 expression and CD8 + T cell senescence are enhanced in patients with cervical cancer who experienced recurrence after CCRT, indicating poor prognosis. Overall, we identify a subpopulation of CCRT-resistant ACKR2 + tumor cells driving CD8 + T cell senescence and tumor recurrence and highlight the prognostic value of ACKR2 and CD8 + T cell senescence for chemoradiotherapy recurrence. |
