Data from p38MAPKα Stromal Reprogramming Sensitizes Metastatic Breast Cancer to Immunotherapy
2023-06-02 · 1 citations
preprintOpen access<div>Abstract<p>Metastatic breast cancer is an intractable disease that responds poorly to immunotherapy. We show that p38MAPKα inhibition (p38i) limits tumor growth by reprogramming the metastatic tumor microenvironment in a CD4<sup>+</sup> T cell-, IFNγ-, and macrophage-dependent manner. To identify targets that further increased p38i efficacy, we utilized a stromal labeling approach and single-cell RNA sequencing. Thus, we combined p38i and an OX40 agonist that synergi…
