Acidovorax temperans skews neutrophil maturation and polarizes Th17 cells to promote lung adenocarcinoma development by Joshua K. Stone, Natalia von Muhlinen, Chenran Zhang, Ana I. Robles, Amy L. Flis, Eleazar Vega-Valle, Akihiko Miyanaga, Masaru Matsumoto, K. Leigh Greathouse, Tomer Cooks, Giorgio Trinchieri, Curtis C. Harris

“…Neutrophils exposed to A. temperans displayed a mature, pro-tumorigenic phenotype with increased cytokine signaling, with a global shift away from IL-1β signaling. Neutrophil to monocyte and macrophage signaling upregulated MHC II to activate CD4+ T cells, polarizing them to an IL-17A+ phenotype detectable in CD4+ and γδ populations (T17). …”
