Physical modalities inducing immunogenic tumor cell death for cancer immunotherapy

Open access

Abstract

The concept of immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD), as originally observed during the treatment with several chemotherapeutics or ionizing irradiation, has revolutionized the view on the development of new anticancer therapies. ICD is defined by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, emission of danger-associated molecular patterns and induction of antitumor immunity. Here we describe known and emerging cancer cell death-inducing physical modalities, such as ionizing irradiation, ultraviolet C light, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with Hypericin, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and hyperthermia (HT), which have been shown to elicit effective antitumor immunity. We discuss the evidence of ICD induced by these modalities in cancer patients together with their applicability in immunotherapeutic protocols and anticancer vaccine development.

Figure 2. A schematic representation of DC-based vaccine preparation using immunogenic HHP-killed tumor cells. Tumor cells treated with HHP (or other physical ICD-inducing modalities) expose various danger signals, so called DAMPs, in different stages of apoptosis. These DAMPs include calreticulin (CRT), heat shock proteins 70/90 (HSP70/90), HMGB1 and ATP. These molecules bind to respective cognate receptors like CD91 (for CRT/HSPs), TLR2/TLR4 (for HMGB1 or HSP70), P2RX7/P2RY2 (for ATP), respectively, on the cell surface of DCs. This leads to an enhanced engulfment of tumor cells and DC maturation characterized by upregulation of costimulatory molecules such as CD80, CD83, CD86 and HLA-DR, and by a distinct pro-inflammatory cytokine pattern. Activated DCs efficiently present tumor-specific antigens in the context of MHC class I and II molecules to T cells, inducing antitumor CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses.

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.
