CDK12 inactivation in prostate cancer is associated with tandem genomic duplications that may generate fusion-associated neoantigens and elicit immune responses amenable to checkpoint blockade. In the first study to comprehensively characterize the T-cell immune microenvironment of CDK12-deficient prostate cancers, subsets of immunosuppressive CD4FOXP3 T cells were increased compared with CDK12-proficient controls..
CDK12 失活与前列腺癌中的串联基因组重复有关,这些重复可能会产生与融合相关的新抗原,并引发可被检查点阻断治疗利用的免疫反应。在第一项全面描述 CDK12 缺陷型前列腺癌中 T 细胞免疫微环境的研究中,与 CDK12 功能正常的对照组相比,抑制性 CD4FOXP3 T 细胞亚群增加。
