Abstract
Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells provide immune defense against local infection and can inhibit cancer progression. However, it is unclear to what extent chronic inflammation impacts TRM activation and whether TRM cells existing in tissues before tumor onset influence cancer evolution in humans. We performed deep profiling of healthy lungs and lung cancers in never-smokers (NSs) and ever-smokers (ESs), finding evidence of enhanced immunosurveillance by cells with a TRM-like phenotype in ES lungs. In preclinical models, tumor-specific or bystander TRM-like cells present prior to tumor onset boosted immune cell recruitment, causing tumor immune evasion through loss of MHC class I protein expression and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors. In humans, only tumors arising in ES patients underwent clonal immune evasion, unrelated to tobacco-associated mutagenic signatures or oncogenic drivers. These data demonstrate that enhanced TRM-like activity prior to tumor development shapes the evolution of tumor immunogenicity and can impact immunotherapy outcomes.
