Description
Résumé:The era of immunotherapy has seen an insurgence of novel therapies driving oncologic research and the clinical management of the disease. We have previously reported that a combination of chemotherapy (FEC) and oncolytic virotherapy (oHSV-1) can be used to sensitize otherwise non-responsive tumors to immune checkpoint blockade and that tumor-infiltrating B cells are required for the efficacy of our therapeutic regimen in a murine model of triple-negative breast cancer. In the studies herein, we have performed gene expression profiling using microarray analyses and have investigated the differential gene expression between tumors treated with FEC + oHSV-1 versus untreated tumors. In this work, we uncovered a therapeutically driven switch of the myeloid phenotype and a gene signature driving increased tumor cell killing.
