Inhibiting HnRNP L-mediated alternative splicing of EIF4G1 counteracts immune checkpoint blockade resistance in Castration-resistant prostate Cancer

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors produced significant clinical responses in a subset of cancer patients who were resistant to prior therapies. However, Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is seriously lack of T cell infiltration, which greatly limits the clinical application of immun...

description Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors produced significant clinical responses in a subset of cancer patients who were resistant to prior therapies. However, Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is seriously lack of T cell infiltration, which greatly limits the clinical application of immunotherapy, but the mechanism is unclear. In the present study, in silico analyses and experimental data show that HnRNP L was significantly negatively correlated with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltration in patients; besides, we found deficiency of HnRNP L recruites CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltration and impairs tumorigenesis. Mechanically, HnRNP L enhanced the translation of c-Myc and then promoted CXCL8 secretion via alternative splicing of EIF4G1. In vivo, inhibition of EIF4G1 by the inhibitor, SBI-0640756, attenuated HnRNP l-induced tumor progression and immunosuppressive activity. And most of all, therapeutic synergy between HnRNP L knockdown and Anti-PD-1 could significantly suppress xenograft prostate cancer growth. In summary, this study revealled the molecular mechanism of HnRNP L regulating the immune infiltration, which provides a new theoretical basis for overcoming the limitation of immunotherapy for CRPC.
