Abstract
Caspases are known for their ability to precipitate apoptosis. Our findings indicate that accelerating the terminal inactivation of cells dying in response to radiation therapy limit their immunogenicity as a consequence of reduced type I interferon secretion. Thus, caspase inhibitors stand out as promising combinatorial partners to improve the immunogenicity of radiation therapy in the clinic.Keywords: CASP3; CGAS; PGE2; SLC7A2; immune checkpoint blockers; mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization
