An immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment promotes tumor growth and is one of the main factors limiting the response to cancer immunotherapy. We have previously reported that inhibition of vacuolar protein sorting 34 (VPS34), a crucial lipid kinase in the autophagy/endosomal trafficking pathway, decreases tumor growth in several cancer models, increases infiltration of immune cells and sensitizes tumors to anti-programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 therapy by upregulation of C-C motif chemokine 5 (CCL5) and C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) chemokines...
