Active communication between GBM cells and tumor-infiltrating immune components contributes to establishing an immunosuppressive environment where T cells are scarce and exhausted. This condition is particularly exacerbated upon recurrence, which is almost inevitable for GBM patients. Immunotherapeutic approaches, including checkpoint inhibitors, have demonstrated limited efficacy and failed to prolong survival or recurrent GBM patients. Nevertheless, many studies have shown that T cell priming is possible in the GBM microenvironment, and that T cell exhaustion or dysfunction can be reprogrammed. We will revisit data from the literature and report original results obtained from recurrent GBM patients treated with dendritic cells to demonstrate the role of the microenvironment in predicting immunotherapy response and influencing decisions for personalized therapies. The interpretation of the presence and function of immune infiltration in glioblastoma (GBM) is still debated. Over the years, GBM has been considered a cold tumor that is less infiltrated by effector cells and characterized by a high proportion of immunosuppressive innate immune cells, including GBM-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs). In this context, the failure of checkpoint inhibitors, particularly in recurrent GBM (rGBM), caused us to look beyond the clinical results and consider the point of view of immune cells. The tumor microenvironment in rGBM can be particularly hostile, even when exposed to standard immunomodulatory therapies, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), when present, are either dysfunctional or terminally exhausted. However, after checkpoint blockade therapy, it was possible to observe specific recruitment of adaptive immune cells and an efficient systemic immune response. In this review article, we attempt to address current knowledge regarding the tumor and immune microenvironment in rGBM. Furthermore, immunosuppression induced by GAMs and TIL dysfunction was revisited to account for genetic defects that can determine resistance to therapies and manipulate the immune microenvironment upon recurrence. Accordingly, we reevaluated the microenvironment of some of our rGBM patients treated with dendritic cell immunotherapy, with the goal of identifying predictive immune indicators of better treatment response.
