Abstract

A recent study by Limagne et al.<sup>1</sup> in <i>Cancer Cell</i> demonstrates that addition of MEK inhibitor to standard-of-care platinum/pemetrexed promotes mitophagy-dependent CXCL10 expression via optineurin and TLR9. Tumor cell secretion of CXCL10 produces T cell recruitment and enhances immunotherapy efficacy.
