This occurs because STAT3 is crucial for maintaining the immune sensor stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING). Without STAT3, the cyclic adenosine monophosphate–guanosine monophosphate synthase–STING pathway is inactive, resulting in decreased type I IFN secretion and an IFN gene signature. Importantly, restoration of IFN signaling through re-expression of endogenous STING, enforced expression of IFN response factor 7 or administration of recombinant type I IFN re-established antitumor immunity, inhibiting metastatic SCLC in vivo.

At steady state, GLUT4 is trapped at the Golgi matrix by ubiquitin regulatory X domain 9 (UBXN9, TUG). Following RNA virus infection, GLUT4 is released and translocated to the cell surface where it spatially segregates a significant pool of cytosolic RLRs, preventing them from activating IFN-β responses. UBXN9 deletion prompts constitutive GLUT4 translocation, sequestration of RLRs and attenuation of antiviral immunity, whereas GLUT4 deletion heightens RLR signaling.

They are generated in the bone marrow, and under homeostatic conditions enter the bloodstream to patrol tissues and scout for potential pathogens that they quickly destroy through phagocytosis, intracellular degradation, release of granules and formation of extracellular traps. Thus, neutrophils are important effector cells involved in antibacterial defense. However, neutrophils can also be pathogenic. Emerging data suggest they have critical functions related to tissue repair and fibrosis. Moreover, similarly to other innate immune cells, neutrophil cell states are affected by their microenvironment. Notably, this includes tumors that co-opt neutrophils. Neutrophils can undergo transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming, thus causing or modulating inflammation and injury. It is also possible that distinct neutrophil subsets are generated with designated functions in the bone marrow. Understanding neutrophil plasticity and alternative cell states will help resolve their contradictive roles.
