ATP was released by tumor cells succumbing to chemotherapy. ATP activates purinergic P2RX7 receptors on DC, thus activating the NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1 inflammasome and driving the secretion of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta). IL-1beta then is required for the adequate polarization of IFNgamma-producing CD8(+) T cells.
