APPROACH

  • KRasLSL-G12D/+;p53LSL-R147A;pdxCre (KPC)
  • Conditionally express overactive KRas and inactive p53 mutations
  • Isolated PDA cancer cells
  • Syngeneic graft pancreatic carcinoma cells to C57BL/6 mice

– KPC1242 carcinoma cells – 1x106 cells engrafted to dorsal subQ or orthotopically to pancreas – Inject murine STING agonist (DMXAA

  • Increases survival
  • Abrogates tumor growth and progression in an immune

competent mouse model

  • Increases CTL infiltration and activation
  • Inflames pancreatic tumors
  • Reprograms suppressive M2-TAMs into inflammatory M1-TAMs
  • Increases cross-presenting dendritic cells
  • Activates proinflammatory signaling in pancreatic cancer
