The Achilles' heel of cancer: targeting tumors via lysosome-induced immunogenic cell death

Taritsa Iulianna et al.

Summary: Recently, the potential role of lysosomes in anticancer therapies has gained attention in the field of immuno-oncology. Targeting lysosomes triggers apoptotic pathways, inhibits cytoprotective autophagy, and activates immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD stimulates immune response against dead-cell antigens. Stressors like ROS can induce lysosome membrane permeability (LMP) leading to ICD. Dying cells express markers that activate immune cells, and dendritic cells present neoantigens from dying cells to T cells. The discovery of ICD-inducing agents is significant due to the potential for triggering autoimmunity. In this review, mechanisms of activating lysosome-induced cell death in cancer cells and strategies for promoting LMP in tumors are discussed.

Immunogenic Cell Death Activates the Tumor Immune Microenvironment to Boost the Immunotherapy Efficiency

Zhilin Li et al.

Summary: This article reviews the use of nanostructure-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs) to enhance the effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy. By inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) and releasing danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and tumor-associated antigens, in combination with chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and radiotherapy, the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment can be improved, resulting in increased sensitivity to immunotherapy and reduced side effects.

Camptothesome elicits immunogenic cell death to boost colorectal cancer immune checkpoint blockade

Zhiren Wang et al.

Summary: Camptothesome is an innovative nanovesicle therapeutic that has shown promising results in the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is taken up by cancer cells through a specific pathway and induces immunogenic cancer cell death. The use of Camptothesome-treated tumor cells as a vaccine has proven effective in preventing tumor growth. Furthermore, Camptothesome demonstrates superior anti-cancer efficacy and immune response compared to other treatments. It also enhances the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in shrinking late-stage CRC tumors and prolonging survival.

Comprehensive characterisation of immunogenic cell death in melanoma revealing the association with prognosis and tumor immune microenvironment

Jie Ren et al.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests that immunogenic cell death (ICD) plays critical functions in many tumors. This study investigates the therapeutic possibilities and mechanism of utilizing ICD in melanoma. Through pan-cancer analysis and clustering, melanoma samples were separated into two subtypes with different prognosis and immune microenvironment based on ICD expression traits. An ICD-dependent risk signature (ICDRS) was determined using LASSO-Cox regression analysis. ICDRS showed accurate prognosis evaluation and could be used for patient classification in melanoma treatment.

Comparative assessment of genes driving cancer and somatic evolution in non-cancer tissues: an update of the Network of Cancer Genes (NCG) resource

Lisa Dressler et al.

Summary: This study compiled a literature-based repertoire of 3355 well-known or predicted drivers of cancer and non-cancer somatic evolution in 122 cancer types and 12 non-cancer tissues. The analysis of these genes revealed that the known compendium of drivers is still incomplete and biased towards frequently occurring coding mutations. There is a high overlap between drivers of cancer and non-cancer somatic evolution, although significant differences exist in their recurrence. Additionally, a set of evolutionarily conserved and essential genes were identified, and alteration in even one of these genes is sufficient to drive clonal expansion but not malignant transformation.

The balance between breast cancer and the immune system: Challenges for prognosis and clinical benefit from immunotherapies

Constantin N. Baxevanis et al.

Summary: Cancer evolution is a complex process influenced by genetic factors and external stimuli that trigger signaling pathways between tumor cells and the immune system. The immune system plays a dual role in cancer progression, conveying protective antitumor immunity while also facilitating tumor development by shaping tumor immunogenicity. Understanding the interaction between immune elements and tumor cells within the tumor microenvironment is crucial for prognosis and developing immunotherapy strategies for various cancers.

Oleandrin, a cardiac glycoside, induces immunogenic cell death via the PERK/elF2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway in breast cancer

Xiaoxi Li et al.

Summary: Chemotherapeutic agents, including the cardiac glycoside oleandrin, have been shown to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in breast cancer cells, enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. Oleandrin treatment triggered ICD in breast cancer cells by inducing calreticulin exposure and release of HMGB1, HSP70/90, and ATP. Mechanistically, oleandrin induced ER stress-associated, caspase-independent ICD mainly through the PERK/elF2 alpha/ATF4/CHOP pathway, suggesting its potential in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors to improve immunotherapy efficacy.
