                                  "Based on these interesting findings, USP18 can attenuate the immune response even without dampening the type I IFN signaling.Finally, it has been reported that STAT1 transcriptional activity and NF-κB signaling activation, which regulate both the transcription and expression of ISGs, can be inhibited by SLFN5 and SLFN2, respectively [78,79]."

                                  "These results suggest that USP18 deletion leads to CSF1R downregulation in TAMs and a decrease in pro-tumor/immunosuppressive macrophages, contributing to enhanced anti-tumor macrophage polarization, consequently promoting a Th1-dominant TME and enhancing CD8   T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity, in agreement with previous reports."

                                  "These observations suggest that residual leukemia cells may upregulate USP18 expression as a protective mechanism against chemotherapy-induced death.Taken together, these results indicate that reduction of Usp18 expression potently suppresses cancer development and induces an anti-tumor immune response in vivo by a mechanism dependent on type I IFN signaling."
