Reprogramming immune cells activity by furin-like enzymes as emerging strategy for enhanced immunotherapy in cancer.

Immunotherapy is becoming an advanced clinical management for various cancers. Rebuilding of aberrant immune surveillance on cancers has achieved notable progress in the past years by either in vivo or ex vivo engineering of efficient immune cells. Immune cells can be programmed with several strategies that improves their therapeutic influence and specificity. It has become noticeable that effective immunotherapy must consider the complete complexity of the immune cell function. However, today, almost all immune cells can be transiently or stably reprogrammed against various cancer cells. As a consequence, investigations have interrogated strategies to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies by enhancing T-cell infiltration into tumour tissues. Here, we review the emerging role of furin-like enzymes work related to T-cell reprogramming, their tumour infiltration and cytotoxic function.
