Uracil-DNA glycosylase deficiency is associated with repressed tumor cell-intrinsic inflammatory signaling and altered sensitivity to exogenous interferons

Frank P. Vendetti, Pinakin Pandya, Carina R. Sclafani…·Christopher J. Bakkenist

This study shows that UNG deficiency in tumor cells reduces intrinsic inflammatory signaling and alters interferon sensitivity, leading to a modified tumor microenvironment.

Deoxyuridine-rich cytoplasmic DNA antagonizes STING-dependent innate immune responses and sensitizes resistant tumors to anti-PD-L1 therapy

Pinakin Pandya, Frank P. Vendetti, Joseph El-Ghoubaira…·Christopher J. Bakkenist

The paper shows that dU-rich cytoplasmic DNA inhibits STING-dependent immune responses and enhances anti-PD-L1 therapy efficacy in tumors.
