A sequential scheme including PTT and 2'3'-cGAMP/CQ-LP reveals the antitumor immune function of PTT through the type I interferon pathway

95 views | Nov 19 2023

The study elucidates the mechanisms underlying Photothermal Therapy (PTT) by demonstrating STING-dependent and STING-independent type I interferon production, and proposes a synergistic approach using a novel liposome co-loaded with the STING agonist cGAMP and chloroquine, which, when combined with PTT, induces significant tumor cell apoptosis and modulates the tumor microenvironment, providing crucial insights for the rational design of potent antitumor combination treatments.

MEK inhibition sensitizes pancreatic cancer to STING agonism by tumor-cell intrinsic amplification of type I interferon signaling

221 views | Aug 28 2023

MEK inhibitors synergistically enhance the cytotoxic effects of STING agonists on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells by suppressing NF-κB activation and promoting Type I interferon-dependent cell death. [Read the Full Post]

Radiation induces IRAK1 expression to promote radioresistance by suppressing autophagic cell death via decreasing the ubiquitination of PRDX1 in glioma cells

211 views | Jun 06 2023

The study found that overexpression of IRAK1 in glioma patients is associated with a poor prognosis, and that IRAK1 knockdown inhibits malignancy and enhances radiosensitivity by targeting the IRAK1-PRDX1 axis. [Read the Full Post]

Licorice extract inhibits the cGAS-STING pathway and protects against non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

86 views | May 08 2023
