Type I interferons in anticancer immunity

Zitvogel, Laurence, Galluzzi, Lorenzo, Kepp, Oliver, Smyth, Mark J., Kroemer, Guido·2015·Nature Reviews Immunology

Abstract

Type I interferons (IFNs) are known for their key role in antiviral immune responses. In this Review, we discuss accumulating evidence indicating that type I IFNs produced by malignant cells or tumour-infiltrating dendritic cells also control the autocrine or paracrine circuits that underlie cancer immunosurveillance. Many conventional chemotherapeutics, targeted anticancer agents, immunological adjuvants and oncolytic viruses are only fully efficient in the presence of intact type I IFN signalling. Moreover, the intratumoural expression levels of type I IFNs or of IFN-stimulated genes correlate with favourable disease outcome in several cohorts of patients with cancer. Finally, new anticancer immunotherapies are being developed that are based on recombinant type I IFNs, type I IFN-encoding vectors and type I IFN-expressing cells.

  • IFNAR1 and IFNGR1 appear to have pro-necroptotic functions.

    “In this context, IFN alpha and beta receptor subunit 1 (IFNAR1) and IFN gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1) also appear to have pro-necroptotic functions [520–523].”
  • Intact autophagy responses regulate the adjuvanticity and antigenicity of tumor cells, thereby promoting the establishment of the cancer-immunity cycle leading to CTL-dependent elimination of malignant cells.

    “In contrast to these findings, intact autophagy responses regulate (i) the adjuvanticity (e.g., the capacity to emit danger signals that are preliminary to the recruitment of immune cells to the tumor bed) (Michaud et al, 2011; Zitvogel et al, 2015; Garg et al, 2016) and (ii) antigenicity of tumor cells (Caron et al, 2011; Ma et al, 2013c; Pietrocola et al, 2017), thereby promoting the establis”

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.
