SATB1 is a targetable modulator of JAK-STAT signaling and cytokines in human Treg and Tconv cells
Blocking a single protein enhances CAR-T cell cancer therapy in preclinical models, offering a potential strategy to boost cellular immunotherapy.
Genetic ablation of SATB1 simultaneously destabilizes Treg cells and enhances CD4 CAR-T tumor clearance in humanized mouse models, identifying SATB1 as a promising single-target strategy to augment cellular immunotherapy. Human primary T cell data supports translational feasibility pending clinical development.
