Abstract

While immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) demonstrate clinical efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), tumor cells frequently evade immune surveillance through PD-L1 overexpression, a phenomenon whose regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Through integrated analysis of single-cell transcription sequence data, we identified aberrant upregulation of Lamin B2 (LMNB2) specifically in immunotherapy-sensitive HCC patients. Functional characterization revealed that LMNB2 acts as a transcriptional regulator of PD-L1, potentiating immune escape mechanisms in HCC cells during co-culture with Jurkat cells. Notably, we discovered that speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) directly interacts with LMNB2 to mediate its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby maintaining physiological PD-L1 expression levels. Clinically relevant SPOP mutations or reduced SPOP expression impaired this regulatory mechanism, leading to LMNB2 accumulation and subsequent PD-L1 hyperactivation. Importantly, combinatorial targeting of LMNB2 with Atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) displayed a synergistic effect on suppressing tumor progression both in vitro and in vivo, particularly in HCC models with SPOP mutations or LMNB2 overexpression. These findings unveil a novel ubiquitination-dependent regulatory axis in HCC immune evasion and propose targeted co-inhibition strategies to overcome HCC immunotherapy resistance.

摘要

虽然靶向程序性细胞死亡配体1(PD-L1)的免疫检查点抑制剂在肝细胞癌(HCC)中显示出临床疗效,但肿瘤细胞经常通过PD-L1过表达逃避免疫监视,这种现象的调控机制仍知之甚少。通过对单细胞转录序列数据的综合分析,我们发现层粘连蛋白B2(LMNB2)在免疫治疗敏感的HCC患者中特异性异常上调。功能表征显示,LMNB2作为PD-L1的转录调节因子,在与Jurkat细胞共培养期间增强HCC细胞中的免疫逃逸机制。值得注意的是,我们发现斑点型POZ蛋白(SPOP)直接与LMNB2相互作用,介导其泛素化和蛋白酶体降解,从而维持生理性PD-L1表达水平。临床相关的SPOP突变或SPOP表达降低会损害这种调节机制,导致LMNB2积累和随后的PD-L1过度激活。重要的是,LMNB2与阿替利珠单抗(PD-L1抑制剂)联合靶向在体外和体内均显示出对抑制肿瘤进展的协同作用,特别是在具有SPOP突变或LMNB2过表达的HCC模型中。这些发现揭示了HCC免疫逃逸中一种新的泛素化依赖性调节轴,并提出了克服HCC免疫治疗耐药性的靶向联合抑制策略。
