Cancer cells co-evolve with retrotransposons to mitigate viral mimicry
2023-05-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Overexpression of repetitive elements is an emerging hallmark of human cancers 1 . Diverse repeats can mimic viruses by replicating within the cancer genome through retrotransposition, or presenting pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system 2–5 . Yet, how specific repeats affect tumor evolution and shape the tumor imm...
