Abstract

Tumor cell senescence is often induced by cancer therapeutics. Senescent cells secrete many proteins that may affect both malignant and non-malignant components of the tumor. The goal of this study was to determine how therapy-induced senescence (TIS) affects the immune microenvironment in melanoma. We used inhibitors of cell cycle kinases AURKA and CDK4/6 (AURKAi, CDK4/6i) to induce senescence in melanoma tumors. RNA sequencing analysis of AURKAi-treated syngeneic mouse tumors demonstrated that response to AURKA inhibition was strongly associated with induction of an immune transcriptome (p = 3.5E-29). Immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis of digested tumors showed correlation between the numbers of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) and AURKAi response (Spearman r = -0.87, p Citation Format: Anna E.
