Multi-compartment immune and tumor cell reprogramming by IFNa2 overcomes colon cancer immunotherapy resistance

Zainab A. Tiamiyu, Patrick Czabala, Jennifer Worthy, Luis Velasquez Zarate, Mei Zheng, Dakota B. Poschel, Kendra Fick, Dafeng Yang, Henry R Monnig, Richa Rashmi, Sergei Bombin, Priscilla S. Redd, Kebin Liu

This paper shows that delivering IFN2 via LNPs reprograms tumor and immune cells in ICI-resistant CRC, enhancing PD-1 blockade efficacy and reducing metastasis.

B cell-intrinsic IRF8 transcriptionally reprograms antigen presentation to sustain CD8⁺ T cell antitumor immunity

Zainab A. Tiamiyu, Dakota B. Poschel, Richa Rashmi, Sergei Bombin, Kendra Fick, Patrick Czabala, Dafeng Yang, Huidong Shi, Keita Saeki, Keiko Ozato, Kebin Liu

This study identifies IRF8 as a B cell-intrinsic regulator of antigen presentation that sustains CD8⁺ T cell antitumor immunity and predicts response to PD-1 blockade therapy.
