T-ONE THERAPEUTICS

AWAKENING THE IMMUNE RESPONSE AGAINST THE TUMOR AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES

Finding safer and effective therapeutic approaches for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

ABOUT US

T-One Therapeutics stems from the vision of a group of researchers aiming to exploit innovative RNA-based therapies to fight a wide spectrum of human pathologies, like cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The mission of T-One Therapeutics is to develop a novel pharmacological approach to specifically target RNA molecules transcribed from repetitive sequences of the human genome called LINE1 elements. We recently discovered that LINE1-derived RNAs accumulate in the nuclei of T lymphocytes with an impaired immune effector function, as dysfunctional T cells derived from tumor tissues

Importantly, we found that pharmacological inhibition of LINE1-derived RNAs through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) in TILs (Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes) reinvigorates the immune response against tumors. Thus, LINE1 represent a promising therapeutic target to modulate the immune response in several pathological contexts.

OBJECTIVES

To develop a novel RNA-based immunotherapy approach to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases through the targeting of LINE1 elements.
