and caspase up-regulation. Using both transplantable tumors and genetic mouse models of spontaneous melanoma, Tormo et al. also show that the MDA-5-dependent poly I:C ⁄ PEIinduced anti-tumor effect can be demonstrated in vivo and it does not require T and B cells or the cytotoxic functions of natural killer (NK) cells. These data strongly suggest a direct effect on the tumor rather than immune cells, although other innate resistance mechanisms and non-cytotoxic functions of NK cells cannot be excluded. This is reminiscent of the anti-tumor effect of poly A:U (a powerful ligand for TLR3 but not for cytosolic MDA-5 or RIG-I) in old clinical trials of breast cancer in which the therapeutic results were recently found to correlate with TLR3 expression on tumor cells, thus suggesting direct tumor cytotoxicity rather than an immunostimulatory effect through TLR3 triggering on inflammatory cells (Salaun et al., 2007). Although the data by Tormo et al. stress the ability of formulated poly I:C to directly induce melanoma cell death, targeting RNA sensors in a clinical setting is unlikely to be fully successful unless cell death is associated with increased immunogenicity and induction of an antigen-specific immune response. Delivery of antigenic cargo into the cytoplasm during autophagy has been suggested to promote tumor antigen presentation for class II and probably class I MHC. It is likely that poly I:C ⁄ PEI treatment triggers immunogenic cell death, hence in addition to its direct cytotoxic effect it is possibly also inducing increased antigen presentation by the dying melanoma cells and presentation of tumor antigens by DCs that in immunocompetent hosts may elicit protective anti-tumor CD4 and CD8 T cell-mediated immune responses. In conclusion, the paper by Tormo et al. presents some unexpected new findings linking autophagy, MDA-5 activation and apoptosis of melanoma cells induced by treatment with PEI-complexed poly I:C both in vitro and in vivo. These data will force us to reevaluate some of the earlier studies on the molecular mechanisms of in vivo anti-tumor effect of poly I:C and have important implications for designing successful therapeutic anti-tumor interventions using dsRNA mimetic compounds.
