Abstract
RIG-I-like helicases (RLH) are cytosolic sensors for viral RNA inducing type I interferon production. We found that pancreatic cancer cells express functional RLH and are susceptible to RLH-induced apoptosis via intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Tumor cells displayed features of immunogenic cell death resulting in dendritic cell activation, enhanced antigen cross-presentation and efficient tumor control in vivo.Entities:
