Abstract

Significance: Tumor recognition by the immune system can occur spontaneously but has usually little impact on tumor growth. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive these responses could be exploited therapeutically to generate efficacious antitumor immunity. Here, we show that stimulator of IFN genes (STING), a molecule involved in cytosolic DNA sensing and required for the generation of spontaneous antitumor immune responses, can be targeted by intratumoral injection of cGAMP to boost antitumor immunity and to control tumor growth. The immune response induced by therapeutic but also spontaneous STING activation was dependent on type I IFN produced by endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment, unraveling an unexpected role of the tumor vasculature in the initiation of spontaneous and therapeutic antitumor immunity via STING.

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.
