Abstract
KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains largely refractory to immune checkpoint blockade. Wang et al. identified PDIA6 as a KRAS-driven suppressor of PERK-dependent immunogenic cell death, fostering immune exclusion. PDIA6 inhibition restores CD8+ T-cell immunity and sensitizes PDAC to immunotherapy, highlighting a targetable resistance mechanism in KRAS-mutant PDAC.
期刊介绍:
OncoImmunology is a dynamic, high-profile, open access journal that comprehensively covers tumor immunology and immunotherapy.
As cancer immunotherapy advances, OncoImmunology is committed to publishing top-tier research encompassing all facets of basic and applied tumor immunology.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including:
-Basic and translational studies in immunology of both solid and hematological malignancies
-Inflammation, innate and acquired immune responses against cancer
-Mechanisms of cancer immunoediting and immune evasion
-Modern immunotherapies, including immunomodulators, immune checkpoint inhibitors, T-cell, NK-cell, and macrophage engagers, and CAR T cells
-Immunological effects of conventional anticancer therapies.
