Serotonin receptor 5-HT2A as a potential target for HCC immunotherapy by Han Chong Toh, Olaf Rotzschke, Yi Wen Tan, Nicholas Da Zhi Ang, Wendy Lee, Ser Mei Koh, Rong En Tay, Charmaine Min Ho, Hui Chien Tay, Daniel Z Lopez, Qiao Rui Na, Kim Peng Tan, Jackwee Lim, Maichan Lau, Laurent Rénia

“…Hence, identifying new key molecular pathways suppressing T-cell responses within the liver is critical for the rational design of more effective combination immunotherapies for HCC.Methods We identified the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor as a potential target for HCC immunotherapy in a chemical screening approach and validated that targeting 5-HT2A signaling could be a viable approach for HCC immunotherapy via in vitro and in vivo studies.Results Disruption of 5-HT2A signaling using either a selective antagonist small molecule, ketanserin, or by knockout of its coding gene Htr2a augments the cytotoxic effector phenotype of mouse CD8 T cells activated in vitro with immunosuppressive liver non-parenchymal cells. …”
