Extracellular HMGB1 blockade inhibits tumor growth through profoundly remodeling immune microenvironment and enhances checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy by Coraline Radermecker, Pascale Hubert, Patrick Roncarati, Stephanie Demoulin, Charlotte Pilard, Marie Ancion, Celia Reynders, Thomas Lerho, Diane Bruyere, Alizee Lebeau, Margot Meunier, Marie-Julie Nokin, Elodie Hendrick, Olivier Peulen, Philippe Delvenne, Michael Herfs

“…Regarding its role in cancer development/progression, paradoxical results exist in the literature and it is still unclear whether HMGB1 mainly acts as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor.Methods HMGB1 expression was first assessed in tissue specimens (n=359) of invasive breast, lung and cervical cancer and the two distinct staining patterns detected (nuclear vs cytoplasmic) were correlated to the secretion profile of malignant cells, patient outcomes and the presence of infiltrating immune cells within tumor microenvironment. …”
