abstract = {Vδ2 T cells, a predominant human peripheral γδ T cell
population, are a promising candidate for the development of
immunotherapies against cancer and infected cells.
Aminobisphosphonate drugs, such as zoledronate, are commonly
used to expand Vδ2 T cells. Yet, such in vitro generated
cells have limited efficacy in the clinic. We found that
despite inducing excessive proliferation of Vδ2 T cells,
zoledronate impaired their effector function and caused the
upregulation of the inhibitory receptor TIM3. This effect
was due to the inhibition of mevalonate metabolism and
dysregulation of downstream biological processes such as
protein prenylation and intracellular signalling. In vitro
and in vivo inhibition of mevalonate metabolism with
zoledronate, statins, and 6-fluoromevalonate, as well as
genetic deficiency of the mevalonate kinase, all resulted in
compromised cytokine and cytotoxic molecule production by
Vδ2 T cells. Impaired Vδ2 T cell function was accompanied
by transcriptome and kinome changes. Our findings reveal the
importance of mevalonate metabolism for the proper
functioning of Vδ2 T cells. This observation provides
important considerations for improving their therapeutic use
and has repercussions for patients with statin or
aminobisphosphonate treatments.},
