A small-molecule P2RX7 activator promotes anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes lung tumor to immunotherapy

A limited percentage of patients with non-small cell lung cancer respond to immunotherapy. Here the authors show that HEI3090, a chemical positive modulator of the purinergic P2RX7 receptor, promotes IL-18 mediated anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes lung cancer to anti-PD-1 therapy in precli...
