Type I interferon activates MHC class I-dressed CD11b+ conventional dendritic cells to promote protective anti-tumor CD8+ T cell immunity
Open accessAbstract
Tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells (DCs) assume varied functional states that impact anti-tumor immunity. To delineate the DC states associated with productive anti-tumor T cell immunity, we compared spontaneously regressing and progressing tumors. Tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell responses in Batf3-/- mice lacking type 1 DCs (DC1s) were lost in progressor tumors but preserved in regressor tumors. Transcriptional profiling of intra-tumoral DCs within regressor tumors revealed an activation state of CD11b+ conventional DCs (DC2s) characterized by expression of interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) (ISG+ DCs). ISG+ DC-activated CD8+ T cells ex vivo comparably to DC1. Unlike cross-presenting DC1, ISG+ DCs acquired and presented intact tumor-derived peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC class I) complexes. Constitutive type I IFN production by regressor tumors drove the ISG+ DC state, and activation of MHC class I-dressed ISG+ DCs by exogenous IFN-β rescued anti-tumor immunity against progressor tumors in Batf3-/- mice. The ISG+ DC gene signature is detectable in human tumors. Engaging this functional DC state may present an approach for the treatment of human disease.

The importance of IFN-β production by cancer cells in the recruitment and activation of Batf3-dependent dendritic cells has been demonstrated in different settings.
“The importance of IFN-β production by cancer cells in the recruitment and activation of Batf3-dependent dendritic cells has been also demonstrated in different settings47,49.”
From Epigenetic state determines the in vivo efficacy of STING agonist therapy (2023) · cites this paper as [49]
The Results section on IFN-β addition (page unavailable) reports activation and increased infiltration of ISG+ dendritic cells in Batf3−/− mice, which lack Batf3-dependent DC1s. The Discussion identifies these cells as CD11b+ DCs and says IFN-β can drive anti-tumor responses without DC1s. Thus, although the paper links tumor-derived type I interferon to dendritic-cell activation, its demonstrated mechanism is contrary to the claim that it recruits and activates Batf3-dependent dendritic cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
