Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Immune Modulation by Telmisartan in Colorectal Cancer

T cells, reduced regulatory T cell counts, and enhanced major histocompatibility complex class I antigen presentation, consistent with an immune-activating effect. These results indicate that telmisartan reshapes the colorectal tumor immune microenvironment by simultaneously attenuating tumor-promoting macrophage activity and augmenting cytotoxic T cell responses. Overall, this study provides a single-cell framework to understand how angiotensin receptor blockade reshapes tumor-infiltrating immune programs, highlighting the translational potential of repurposing telmisartan for novel cancer immunotherapy strategies.

Abstract

T cells, reduced regulatory T cell counts, and enhanced major histocompatibility complex class I antigen presentation, consistent with an immune-activating effect. These results indicate that telmisartan reshapes the colorectal tumor immune microenvironment by simultaneously attenuating tumor-promoting macrophage activity and augmenting cytotoxic T cell responses. Overall, this study provides a single-cell framework to understand how angiotensin receptor blockade reshapes tumor-infiltrating immune programs, highlighting the translational potential of repurposing telmisartan for novel cancer immunotherapy strategies.
