Resistance mechanisms have curbed the potential of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies. Understanding mechanisms that contribute to this resistance should reveal new targets for combinatorial therapy. Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) represents such a target. In recent work by Sun et al., inhibition of TBK1 restored the efficacy of such treatments by sensitizing tumors to RIPK1 kinase-dependent inflammatory cell death.
耐药机制限制了免疫检查点阻断(ICB)疗法的潜力。了解导致这种耐药性的机制应能揭示联合治疗的新靶点。 Tank结合激酶1(TBK1)就是这样一个靶点。在Sun等人最近的研究中,抑制TBK1通过使肿瘤对RIPK1激酶依赖性炎性细胞死亡敏感,恢复了此类治疗的疗效。
