Calcineurin Inhibitors Suppress Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease via NFAT-Independent Inhibition of T Cell Receptor Signaling

Researchers utilized T cells from mice that express LckS59A, which cannot accept a phosphate at residue 59, to initiate acute graft-versus-host disease.

Epigenetic Reprogramming of Tumor Cell–Intrinsic STING Function Sculpts Antigenicity and T Cell Recognition of Melanoma

Scientists showed that promoter hypermethylation of cGAS and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) mediated their coordinated transcriptional silencing and contributed to the widespread impairment of the STING signaling function in clinically-relevant human melanomas and melanoma cell lines.

Myeloid Cell–Derived HOCl Is a Paracrine Effector That Trans-inhibits IKK/NF-κB in Melanoma Cells and Limits Early Tumor Progression

Investigators revealed a role for myeloid-derived cells-derived hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as a small-molecule paracrine signaling factor that trans-inhibited inhibited IκB kinase (IKK) in melanoma tumor cells, mediating antitumor responses during early tumor progression.
