In one way, eATP mediates chemotactic effects on myeloid cells in thymoma and colon cancer and promotes the secretion of inflammasome-dependent interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-18, which are critical for mature dendritic cells (DCs) to prime cytotoxic T lymphocytes (23, 24). The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is thymoma.
