Necrosis, on the other hand, is characterized by the rupture of the cell membrane as a result of swelling of the cytoplasm (oncosis). This leads to the release of a number of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, HSPs, and high-mobility group box (HMGB)-1, all factors that favor DC activation and therefore provide an environment in which antitumor T cell responses can be activated. Nevertheless, the difference in immunological outcome attributed to apoptotic versus necrotic cell death may be less clear-cut.
