Abstract

Significance: Inflammation and immunosuppression are dominant features of cancer progression. In the tumor microenvironment, macrophages produce interleukin-1β (IL-1β), which subsequently recruits myeloid cells from the bone marrow. In mice deficient in IL-1β or in wild-type mice treated with anti–IL-1β Abs, implanted breast cancer tumors regress. Regression is due to decreased tumor-related immunosuppression, meditated mainly by macrophages, and increased antitumor immunity, mediated by elevated dendritic cell function and activated cytotoxic CD8 lymphocytes. Although anti–PD-1 reduces tumor growth, the combination of anti–IL-1β plus anti–PD-1 abrogated the tumors completely. These observations support clinical trials of blocking IL-1β in cancer and that anti–IL-1β is a checkpoint inhibitor.

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.
