Cellular senescence has emerged as a potent tumor suppressor mechanism in numerous human neoplasias. Senescent cells secrete distinct set of factors, collectively termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which been postulated to carry both pro- and antitumorigenic properties depending on tissue context. However, vivo effect SASP is poorly understood due difficulty studying independently other phenotypes. Here, we report that disruption interleukin-1 (IL-1) pathway...
To evaluate the tissue distribution and clinical significance of OX40 OX40L in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Using multiplexed quantitative immunofluorescence, we conducted simultaneous localized measurements proteins, major T-cell subsets, conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) 614 primary NSCLCs from three independent cohorts represented microarrays. We also measured protein samples a phase I trial intratumor administration lipid nanoparticle encapsulated mRNA encoding...
The tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors contains myeloid cells that modulate local immune activity. STING signaling activation these enhances type I interferon (IFN) production, inducing an innate response mobilizes adaptive immunity and reprograms immunosuppressive populations to drive antitumor immunity. Here, we generated TAK-500, cell directed antibody drug conjugate (iADC), deliver a agonist CCR2+ human enhanced activity relative non-targeted agonists. Preclinically, TAK-500...
