Neutrophils drive endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells through arginase-1 release

Abstract Human neutrophils constitutively express high amounts of arginase-1, which depletes arginine from the surrounding medium and downregulates T-cell activation. Here, we have found that neutrophil arginase-1, released from activated human neutrophils or dead cells, induced apoptosis in cancer...
