Abstract

Using KRAS and MEK inhibition, the authors demonstrate altered neoplastic cell fates and immune functions of cDCs, T cells, and macrophages. Addition of KRAS inhibition to PD-1 blockade enhances T cell– and macrophage-mediated antitumor immunity.

STAT3 inhibition for the induction of immunogenic cell death in multiple myeloma

It is reported that STAT3 inhibition eliminates multiple myeloma stem-like cells while eliciting hallmarks of immunogenic cell death, yet in vivo validation remains necessary before this strategy can be considered immunogenic.

Statins suppress colon tumors by inhibiting KRAS condensates.

It is reported that farnesylation-induced KRAS phase separation drives colon cancer progression and resistance to G12C inhibitors and statins can block this process, suppress tumor growth, and reverse drug resistance.

Foretinib triggers immunogenic cell death and enhances efficacy of anti-CD47 immunotherapy in colorectal cancer

The dual-target c-Met/VEGFR kinase inhibitor foretinib reshapes tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) by inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) and the combination of foretinib with anti-CD47 antibody significantly inhibits tumor growth in colon cancer model.
