Statin drugs enhance responses to immune checkpoint blockade in head and neck cancer models by Chrystal Paulos, Gregory B Lesinski, Zachary S Buchwald, Nabil F Saba, Vikash Kansal, Andre J Burnham, Brendan L C Kinney, Nicole C Schmitt

“…Statin drugs (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are associated with superior survival in several cancer types, including HNSCC. Emerging data suggest that manipulation of cholesterol may enhance some aspects of antitumor immunity.Methods We used syngeneic murine models (mouse oral cancer, MOC1 and TC-1) to investigate our hypothesis that a subset of statin drugs would enhance antitumor immunity and delay tumor growth.Results Using an ex vivo coculture assay of murine cancer cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, we discovered that all seven statin drugs inhibited tumor cell proliferation. …”
