Abstract
Although dendritic cell (DC) dysfunction in cancer is a well-recognized consequence of cancer-associated inflammation that contributes to immune evasion, the mechanisms that drive this process remain elusive. Here, we show the critical importance of tumor-derived TLR2 ligands in the generation of immunosuppressive IL-10-producing human and mouse DCs. TLR2 ligation induced two parallel synergistic processes that converged to activate STAT3: stimulation of autocrine IL-6 and IL-10 and upregulation of their respective cell surface receptors, which lowered the STAT3 activation threshold. We identified versican as a soluble tumor-derived factor that activates TLR2 in DCs. TLR2 blockade in vivo improved intra-tumor DC immunogenicity and enhanced the efficacy of immunotherapy. Our findings provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of DC dysfunction in cancer and identify TLR2 as a relevant therapeutic target to improve cancer immunotherapy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
