Excerpt:
...we identified trametinib as an inducer of immunogenic cell death (ICD), and found that it exerts beneficial antitumor effects if used in combination with interleukin (IL)-12 in a Kras-mutant mouse model of spontaneous lung cancer...Tumor-bearing mice treated with both trametinib and IL-12 showed increased infiltration and proliferation of T cells within the tumor, as well as increased effector function of NK cells and T cells, indicating that this therapeutic combination can improve the quality of the immune response...our results provide a potential new therapeutic regimen for the treatment of KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinomas....
