Furthermore, this was accompanied by a trend towards increased expression of Tbx21 in tumour and Ifng in both tumour and spleen tissue of MK2ΔCD11c mice (Fig. 7a and Supplementary Fig. 6d), which suggests a more Th1-polarized T cell response upon deletion of MK2 in DCs that is consistent with our previous observations in the context of systemic inflammation and autoimmunity36. Here, MAPKAPK2 is linked to neoplasm.
