TMEM16F Phospholipid Scramblase Regulates Tumorigenesis by Modulating the Tumor Immune Microenvironment
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment enables immune evasion through mechanisms beyond canonical immune checkpoints. While phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization coordinates apoptotic clearance under physiological conditions, tumors exploit this pathway by mimicking apoptotic cells through PS exposure to suppress immune responses. Genetic ablation of TMEM16F abolished PS exposure, systemically reprogrammed the tumor microenvironment and primary immune organs toward immune activation, and suppressed tumor growth across cancer models.
