Аннотация
How dedifferentiated stem-like tumor cells evade immunosurveillance remains poorly understood. We show that the lineage-plasticity regulator SOX9, which is upregulated in dedifferentiated tumor cells, limits the number of infiltrating T lymphocytes in premalignant lesions of mouse basal-like breast cancer. SOX9-mediated immunosuppression is required for the progression of in situ tumors to invasive carcinoma. SOX9 induces the expression of immune checkpoint B7x/B7-H4 through STAT3 activation and direct transcriptional regulation. B7x is upregulated in dedifferentiated tumor cells and protects them from immunosurveillance. B7x also protects mammary gland regeneration in immunocompetent mice. In advanced tumors, B7x targeting inhibits tumor growth and overcomes resistance to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. In human breast cancer, SOX9 and B7x expression are correlated and associated with reduced CD8+ T cell infiltration. This study, using mouse models, cell lines, and patient samples, identifies a dedifferentiation-associated immunosuppression mechanism and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of targeting the SOX9-B7x pathway in basal-like breast cancer.
