Genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection. However, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 limits endogenous DNA damage, thereby suppressing cGAS-STING-dependent signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a PD-L1 transcriptional regulatory element, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. SMARCAL1 loss hinders the ability of tumor cells to induce PD-L1 in response to genomic instability, enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.

SMARCAL1 是先天免疫信号转导和 PD-L1 表达的双重调节因子,可促进肿瘤免疫逃逸



基因组不稳定性可触发癌症内在先天免疫反应,从而促进肿瘤排斥反应。然而,癌细胞通常通过过表达免疫检查点调节因子(如 PD-L1)来逃避这些反应。在这里,我们将 SNF2 家族 DNA 转位酶 SMARCAL1 确定为通过双重机制促进肿瘤免疫逃避的因素,该机制涉及抑制先天免疫信号传导和诱导 PD-L1 介导的免疫检查点反应。从机制上讲,SMARCAL1 限制了内源性 DNA 损伤,从而抑制了癌细胞生长过程中的 cGAS-STING 依赖性信号传导。同时,它与 AP-1 家族成员 JUN 合作,维持 PD-L1 转录调节元件的染色质可及性,从而促进癌细胞中 PD-L1 的表达。在小鼠黑色素瘤模型中,SMARCAL1 缺失阻碍了肿瘤细胞响应基因组不稳定性诱导 PD-L1 的能力,增强了抗肿瘤免疫反应并使肿瘤对免疫检查点阻断敏感。总的来说,这些研究揭示了 SMARCAL1 是癌症免疫治疗的有前途的靶点。
