Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1) is a clinical stage druggable target for inhibiting autophagy in cancer.
We aimed to determine the cellular and molecular activity of targeting PPT1 using ezurpimtrostat, in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody.
In this study we used a transgenic immunocompetent mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Herein, we revealed that inhibition of PPT1 using ezurpimtrostat decreased the liver tumor burden in a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing the penetration of lymphocytes into tumors when combined with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1). Inhibition of PPT1 potentiates the effects of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy by increasing the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I at the surface of liver cancer cells and modulates immunity through recolonization and activation of cytotoxic CD8 lymphocytes.
Ezurpimtrostat turns cold tumors into hot tumors and, thus, could improve T cell-mediated immunotherapies in liver cancer.
棕榈酰蛋白硫酯酶 1(PPT1)是一种临床阶段可抑制癌症自噬的药物靶点。
我们旨在确定使用 ezurpimtrostat 靶向 PPT1 的细胞和分子活性,同时联合使用抗 PD-1 抗体。
在这项研究中,我们使用了一种转基因免疫功能正常的肝癌小鼠模型。
在此,我们揭示了使用 ezurpimtrostat 抑制 PPT1 通过与抗程序性死亡-1(PD-1)联合使用诱导淋巴细胞渗透到肿瘤中,从而降低肝癌小鼠模型中的肝肿瘤负担。抑制 PPT1 通过增加肝癌细胞表面主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)-I 的表达,并通过重新定植和激活细胞毒性 CD8 淋巴细胞来调节免疫,从而增强抗 PD-1 免疫疗法的效果。
ezurpimtrostat 将冷肿瘤转化为热肿瘤,因此可以改善肝癌的 T 细胞介导的免疫疗法。
