Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 8 million deaths per year. Cancer immunotherapy represents today the most promising cancer treatment since the development of the first chemotherapies. Recent results suggest that interventions based on a detailed understanding of the tumor microenvironment will be key to optimize immunotherapies. In that context, cytokine secreting cells are central players.A recently described family of rare, but potent cytokine secreting cells, called Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs), is emerging as key regulator of immunity. However, thus far ILCs have been neglected in the cancer field. We have been pioneering in identifying novel, dominant ILC2-dependent circuits of immunosuppression in cancer.I am in the extraordinary translational setting to dissect unique transcriptional and epigenetic programs of ILC2 directly in cancer patients, down to the single cell level, using highly sensitive technologies. I envision to decode for the first time immunosuppressive ILC2-signatures established in the tumor microenvironment and to determine the main factors prevailing in the tumor, facilitating immune escape. I will decipher the contribution of each factor in imprinting marks for cell polarization in cancer. By therapeutically interfering with these circuits in preclinical mouse models I will explore the impact of my discoveries directly in vivo, in view of phase I clinical trials. The innovative strategy of functionally reprogramming these cells in the tumor may curb immunosuppression, prove synergistic with other therapies and lead to clinical applications, beyond cancer.
