To uncover regulators that limit CD8⁺ T cell infiltration in MSS CRC, we conducted an in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 screen targeting genes in CD8⁺ T cells using a CMT93 cell-derived tumor model. This screen identified Arid3b as a key negative regulator of CD8⁺ T cell tumor infiltration and antitumor activity. Genetic ablation of Arid3b in CD8⁺ T cells significantly enhanced their intratumoral accumulation and mediated robust tumor control. Mechanistically, Arid3b deficiency upregulated Runx3, promoting a tissue-resident memory phenotype and effector function. Notably, the benefits conferred by Arid3b knockout were abrogated by Runx3 deletion, indicating a Runx3-dependent mechanism. In summary, targeting ARID3B could offer a promising strategy to reshape the tumor microenvironment and sensitize MSS CRC to immunotherapy.2026/04/14GSE304750GSM9156304GSM9156306GSM9156310GSM9156299GSM9156302GSM9156301GSM9156296GSM9156295GSM9156298GSM9156308GSM9156307GSM915630934328304750Mus musculus
