PMID Cancer type Relation to immunity Evidence sentences
28483787Breast NeoplasmPromote immunity (T cell function)Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling induces IFNβ production by intratumoral dendritic cells (DC), driving T-cell priming and recruitment into the tumor microenvironment (TME).
23636788Lung Carcinoma; Prostate CarcinomaPromote immunityWe describe here a novel effect of dsRNA analogs on cancer cells: besides their potential to induce cancer cell apoptosis through an IFN-β autocrine loop, dsRNA-elicited IFN-β production improves dendritic cell (DC) functionality. Human A549 lung and DU145 prostate carcinoma cells significantly responded to poly I:C stimulation, producing IFN-β at levels that were capable of activating STAT1 and enhancing CXCL10, CD40, and CD86 expression on human monocyte-derived DCs.
17374743Myeloid LeukemiaPromote immunity (T cell function)Ubp43 is an ISG15-specific isopeptidase, the expression of which is activated by IFN. Ubp43 deficiency increases the resistance to oncogenic transformation by BCR-ABL. This resistance to leukemic development is dependent on type 1 IFN (IFN-alpha/beta) signaling in Ubp43-deficient cells. These results suggest that inhibition of Ubp43-negative effect on IFN signaling can potentiate the response to increased endogenous IFN levels in innate immune responses against cancer development, indicating that pharmacological inhibition of Ubp43 may be of benefit in cancers and others diseases in which interferon is currently prescribed.
24806531Melanoma; Breast CarcinomaPromote immunityHere, we provide evidence that endogenous IFN-β is regulating the apoptosis of pro-angiogenic tumor infiltrating neutrophils by influencing both, the extrinsic as well as the intrinsic apoptosis pathways. Accordingly, the life span of tumor associated neutrophils (TANs) is remarkably prolonged in tumor bearing Ifnb1(-/-) mice compared to wild type controls. Lower expression of Fas, reactive oxygen species, active Caspase 3 and 9, as well as a change in expression pattern of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family and the major apoptosome constituent Apaf-1 is observed under such conditions. In line with inhibition of apoptosis and the prolonged neutrophil survival,
21482773Breast Carcinoma (ERBB-(+))Promote immunity (T cell function); essential for immunotherapyWe report here that anti-ErbB-2 mAb therapy is dependent on the release of type I and type II IFNs but is independent of perforin or FasL.
29229854Triple-Negative Breast CarcinomaPromote immunityTreatment with IFN-beta (IFN-β) led to a less aggressive epithelial/non-CSC-like state, with repressed expression of mesenchymal proteins (VIMENTIN, SLUG), reduced migration and tumor sphere formation, and reexpression of CD24 (a surface marker for non-CSCs), concomitant with an epithelium-like morphology. Here we report a positive translational role for IFN-β, as gene expression profiling of patient-derived TNBC tumors demonstrates that an IFN-β metagene signature correlates with improved patient survival, an immune response linked with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and a repressed CSC metagene signature.
17675472MelanomaPromote immunityIFN-beta (but neither IFN-alpha nor IFN-gamma) augmented both protein and mRNA expression of melanocytic TAA in 15 melanoma lines (irrespective of initial Ag-expression levels). Treatment of low Ag melanoma lines with IFN-beta increased expression of melanocyte-lineage Ags, inducing susceptibility to lysis by specific CTLs. Treatment with IFN-beta also enhances expression of class I HLA molecules, thereby inducing both nominal TAA and the presenting HLA molecule. Data from fluorescent cellular reporter systems demonstrated that IFN-beta triggers promoter activation, resulting in augmentation of Ag expression.
21930769fibrosarcomaPromote immunityWe recently have reported that targeting low doses of IFN-beta to the tumor microenvironment using tumor-specific mAbs can facilitate antitumor immunity, which could be augmented further with PD-L1/PD-1 blockade
21930769FibrosarcomaPromote immunityHerein, we show that type I IFN is required to initiate the antitumor response and that its actions are temporally distinct from IFN-γ during cancer immunoediting.
16951315MelanomaPromote immunityEven though the expression of surface markers for DC activation ex vivo did not always reach the level attained by an optimized amount of LPS, superior antitumor effects to B16F1 melanoma, namely tumor elimination and survival, were obtained with use of SeV-GFP/DC as compared with those seen with LPS/DC in vivo, and the effect was enhanced by SeV/DC-expressing IFN-beta (SeV-murine IFN-beta (mIFN-beta)/DC).

Content High-throughput screening data (e.g. CRISPR-Cas9, shRNA and RNAi) for T cell-mediated killing. Genetic screen techniques can identify mechanisms of tumor cell resistance (e.g., PTPN2) and sensitivity (e.g., APLNR) to killing by cytotoxic T cells, the central effectors of anti-tumor immunity. After comprehensively searching, eight groups of screening data sets were collected in the current database. In this tab, users can check whether their selected genes cause resistance or increase sensitivity to T cell-mediated killing in various data sets.

Content Transcriptomic and genomic profiling of pre-treated tumor biopsies from responders and non-responders to immunotherapy. These data were used to identify signatures and mechanisms of response to checkpoint blockade (e.g., anti-PDL1 and anti-PD1). One example is that mutations in the gene PBRM1 benefit clinical survival of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. After comprehensively searching, we collected 5 and 6 of transcriptomic and genomic data sets, respectively. In this tab, users can check whether their selected genes have significant difference of expression or mutation between responders and non-responders in various data sets.
