Tumor endothelial cell autophagy is a key vascular‐immune checkpoint in melanoma

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Tumor endothelial cells (TECs) actively repress inflammatory responses and maintain an immune‐excluded tumor phenotype. However, the molecular mechanisms that sustain TEC‐mediated immunosuppression remain largely elusive. Here, we show that autophagy ablation in TECs boosts antitumor immunity by supporting infiltration and effector function of T‐cells, thereby restricting melanoma growth. In...
