Occasionally, some patients experience substantial global tumor regression with a rebound of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. We have termed the rebound of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in response to salvage therapy as T cell resilience and examined the underlying mechanisms of resilience. Resilient T cells are enriched for CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells with low mitochondrial membrane potential, accumulate less reactive oxygen species (ROS), and express more malic enzyme 1 (ME1). ME1 overexpression enhanced the cytotoxicity and expansion of effector CD8+ T cells partially via the type I interferon pathway. ME1 also increased mitochondrial respiration while maintaining the redox state balance. ME1 increased the cytotoxicity of peripheral lymphocytes from patients with advanced cancers. Thus, preserved resilient T cells in patients rebound after salvage therapy and ME1 enhances their resiliency.  \nCopyright © 2023 The Authors, some  \nrights reserved; exclusive licensee American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Occasionally, some of these patients experience substantial tumor regression following salvage therapy in combination with ICI therapy (3, 4) . It has been reported that a successful ICI therapy expands tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells with effector phenotype in peripheral blood, which have the potential to replace exhausted CD8+ T cells inside tumor tissue (5–9) . We and others have identified tumoricidal CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells that are responsive to ICI therapy in both preclinical and clinical settings (8, 10, 11). CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells also increased in patients with metastatic diseases who do not respond to initial ICI therapy but respond to subsequent combination therapy (chemotherapy plus ICI) (8) . Since CX3CR1+ CD8+ T cells are highly cytotoxic and effective in preclinical models and in the peripheral blood of patients who respond to ICI therapy (7, 8, 10), we proposed the term “T cell resilience” to explain such clinical observations, where effective cytotoxic T cells rebound in response to appropriate combination therapy (3, 4) and can reduce systemic tumor burden. Accordingly, a computational model of T cell resilience has been established in the prediction of patient response to ICI therapy (12) . However, the underlying mechanisms of T cell resilience are yet to be defined.  \n1Department of Immunology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, Rochester, MN, USA. 2Department of Urology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. 3Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA. 4Division of Medical Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA. 5Division of Medical Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. 6Department of Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. 7Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. 8Department of Rheumatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.  \n*Corresponding author.
