1. IL7R mRNA therapy enhances antitumor T cell immunity and suppresses tumor growth in preclinical tumor models

Interleukin-7 receptor (IL7R) signaling is critical for T-cell survival, homeostasis, and immune function, but the therapeutic potential of increasing IL7R expression through messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery remains poorly defined. We investigated whether IL7R mRNA therapy could enhance antitumor immunity and improve tumor control in preclinical cancer models. IL7R mRNA formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) was administered by combined intratumoral and intravenous injection in syngeneic B16 melanoma and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) models, with empty LNPs included as vehicle controls.
