TNF and neoplasm: Follow-up analysis revealed (i) that TNF expression in untreated cancers does not correlate with survival, but also revealed a positive correlation with responders of anti-PD1 therapy; (ii) that TRAF2 deficiency sensitizes tumor cells for the cytotoxic action of CD8+ T cell-derived TNF and (iii) that TWEAK-induced Fn14 activation sensitizes cancer cells for killing by CD8+ T cell-derived TNF-induced cell death by virtue of depletion of the available pool of TRAF2-cIAP1/2 complexes, thus by similar mechanisms as already described for TNFR2 (see also 2).
