Ecto‐calreticulin in immunogenic chemotherapy
Abstract
Summary:The conventional treatment of cancer relies upon radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Such treatments supposedly mediate their effects via the direct elimination of tumor cells. Nonetheless, there are circumstances in which conventional anti‐cancer therapy can induce a modality of cellular demise that elicits innate and cognate immune responses, which in turn mediate part of the anti‐tumor effect. Although different chemotherapeutic agents may kill tumor cells through an apparently homogeneous apoptotic pathway, they differ in their capacity to stimulate immunogenic cell death. We discovered that the pre‐apoptotic translocation of intracellular calreticulin (endo‐CRT) to the plasma membrane surface (ecto‐CRT) is critical for the recognition and engulfment of dying tumor cells by dendritic cells. Thus, anthracyclines and γ‐irradiation that induce ecto‐CRT cause immunogenic cell death, while other pro‐apoptotic agents (such as mitomycin C and etoposide) induce neither ecto‐CRT nor immunogenic cell death. Depletion of CRT abolishes the immunogenicity of cell death elicited by anthracyclines, while exogenous supply of CRT or enforcement of CRT exposure by pharmacological agents that favor CRT translocation can enhance the immunogenicity of cell death. For optimal anti‐tumor vaccination and immunogenic chemotherapy, the same cells have to expose ecto‐CRT and to succumb to apoptosis; if these events affect different cells, no anti‐tumor immune response is elicited. These results may have far reaching implications for tumor immunology because (i) ecto‐CRT exposure by tumor cells allows for the prediction of therapeutic outcome and because (ii) the re‐establishment of ecto‐CRT may ameliorate the efficacy of chemotherapy.

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.
