ENSITIVITYApoptosis is most often primed for the duration of cancer cell death in response to various drug therapy or spontaneous or stimulated immune cell attack. Nevertheless, cancer cells often have an integrated system to evade apoptosis, which may possibly block the function of ICIs.three.1 T Cells Efficiently Kill Cancer Cells by way of ApoptosisIn the approach of anticancer immune response major for the powerful killing of cancer cells, a series of stepwise events (the cancer-immunity cycle) should be initiated (Chen and Mellman, 2013): 1) tumor antigens are released from tumor cells and recognized by antigen presenting cells (APCs) in nearby lymphatic tissues; two) APCs present tumor antigens to specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) for recognition; three) effector T cell responses against cancer-specific antigens are primed and activated; four) the activated effector T cells site visitors to and infiltrate tumor lesions; 5) the activated effector T cells recognize target cancer cells; 6) the activated effector T cells kill target cancer cells by the perforin-and-granzyme-mediated pathway or the Fas-mediated pathway (Berke, 1995).two CLINICAL APPLICATION OF ICI THERAPYSince the initial ICI, ipilimumab, was authorized for clinical use by the US Meals and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011, six otherFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology | frontiersin.orgMarch 2022 | Volume 10 | ArticleDeng et al.Ferroptosis Potentiates ICI TherapyTABLE 1 | The clinic data of ICIs for treating cancers.

(Left) Co-stimulation that CTLA-4 negatively regulates is required for initial activation of CD8 T cell in the course of recognition of its particular tumour antigen, presented by an antigen-presented cell in the lymph node. Blocking CTLA-4 by anti-CTLA-4 antibodies could restore the intensity of co-stimulation. (Correct) Activated CD8 T cells migrate towards the tumor side according to recognizing particular tumor antigens expressed around the target cancer cell. After recognized, the antitumor T cell response gets weak, with T cells expressing PD-1 and target cells expressing PD-L1.
