Abstract
Two recent papers document that responses to immunotherapy are circadian and peak at the end of resting phase (evening) of mice with syngeneic and genetic models of cancers. The circadian effect is attributed to diurnal T-cell trafficking through the endothelium on the one hand, and to the circadian expression of PD-L1 on myeloid suppressors on the other. Overall, it appears that tumor immunity as a system, including dendritic cell function, behaves in a circadian manner that is also observed in patients in cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. Importantly, these observations uncover time-of-day as an unforeseen variable for cancer immunotherapy responses. This insight on the immune circadian clock should be further explored to enhance immunotherapy responses in the clinic.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Research, published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), is a journal that focuses on impactful original studies, reviews, and opinion pieces relevant to the broad cancer research community. Manuscripts that present conceptual or technological advances leading to insights into cancer biology are particularly sought after. The journal also places emphasis on convergence science, which involves bridging multiple distinct areas of cancer research.
With primary subsections including Cancer Biology, Cancer Immunology, Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms, Translational Cancer Biology, Cancer Landscapes, and Convergence Science, Cancer Research has a comprehensive scope. It is published twice a month and has one volume per year, with a print ISSN of 0008-5472 and an online ISSN of 1538-7445.
Cancer Research is abstracted and/or indexed in various databases and platforms, including BIOSIS Previews (R) Database, MEDLINE, Current Contents/Life Sciences, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index, Scopus, and Web of Science.
