Oncogenic KRAS Suppresses IFNγ Signaling in Tumor Cells.

Abstract

In this issue, Chen and colleagues show that MHC class II expression by pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) malignant cells is a robust biomarker of both local production of IFNγ from lymphocytes and intact IFNγ signaling. RAS pathway inhibition can restore malignant cell IFNγ responsiveness in some patients, and malignant cell MHC class II expression may indicate which patients could further benefit from immunotherapy.

Intrinsic resistance to KRAS inhibition: Interfering with interferon.

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zhang et al. perform multi-omics profiling on a large collection of patient-derived pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma organoids to elucidate the mechanisms underlying intrinsic resistance to KRAS inhibition. This work identifies suppression of innate immune signaling through sustained MYC a...

TNFR1 expression on cancer cells mediates immune escape and an immunosuppressive microenvironment

Evidence is provided for a key role of TNFR1, as expressed by malignant cells, in orchestrating a pro-tumor immunosuppressive environment through secondary inflammatory mediators through secondary inflammatory mediators.

STAT3 inhibition for the induction of immunogenic cell death in multiple myeloma

It is reported that STAT3 inhibition eliminates multiple myeloma stem-like cells while eliciting hallmarks of immunogenic cell death, yet in vivo validation remains necessary before this strategy can be considered immunogenic.

When Neutrophils Do Not Die: Senescence as a New Axis of Tumor Immunosuppression.

In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Chen and colleagues leverage single-cell RNA sequencing of neutrophils in the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer liver metastases to characterize neutrophil heterogeneity within the metastatic immune landscape. They show that the glucose-deprived metastatic microenvironment d...

Opening the window for immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer.

KRAS inhibitors (KRASi) are reshaping the treatment of aggressive tumors such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but it is appreciated that patients will eventually acquire resistance through multiple pathways. To avoid this outcome, there is much effort to identify combination therapies that take advantage of...

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells in hematologic malignancies: A current state of the field.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells are a pivotal component of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in hematologic malignancies. Through diverse mechanisms, they promote disease progression, therapeutic resistance, and immune evasion. This comprehensive review synthesizes current evidence on the roles of myeloid-d...
