Abstract

Tumor cells subvert immune surveillance or lytic stress by harnessing inhibitory signals. Hence, bispecific antibodies have been developed to direct CTLs to the tumor site and foster immune-dependent cytotoxicity. Although applied with success, T cell-based immunotherapies are not universally effective partially because of the expression of pro-survival factors by tumor cells protecting them from apoptosis. Here, we report a CRISPR/Cas9 screen in human non-small cell lung cancer cells designed to identify genes that confer tumors with the ability to evade the cytotoxic effects of CD8+ T lymphocytes engaged by bispecific antibodies. We show that the gene C22orf46 facilitates pro-survival signals and that tumor cells devoid of C22orf46 expression exhibit increased susceptibility to T cell-induced apoptosis and stress by genotoxic agents. Although annotated as a non-coding gene, we demonstrate that C22orf46 encodes a nucleolar protein, hereafter referred to as "Tumor Apoptosis Associated Protein 1," up-regulated in lung cancer, which displays remote homologies to the BH domain containing Bcl-2 family of apoptosis regulators. Collectively, the findings establish TAAP1/C22orf46 as a pro-survival oncogene with implications to therapy.

核极蛋白TAAP1/C22orf46在非小细胞肺癌中传递促生存信号
肿瘤细胞通过利用抑制信号来破坏免疫监视或溶解压力。因此,人们开发了双特异性抗体,将 CTLs 引导到肿瘤部位,促进免疫依赖性细胞毒性。基于 T 细胞的免疫疗法虽然取得了成功,但并非普遍有效,部分原因是肿瘤细胞表达的促生存因子保护它们免受凋亡。在这里,我们报告了一项在人类非小细胞肺癌细胞中进行的 CRISPR/Cas9 筛选,目的是找出能使肿瘤逃避双特异性抗体作用的 CD8+ T 淋巴细胞的细胞毒性效应的基因。我们的研究表明,C22orf46基因能促进生存信号的传递,缺乏C22orf46表达的肿瘤细胞对T细胞诱导的细胞凋亡和基因毒性制剂的压力表现出更高的易感性。尽管C22orf46被注释为非编码基因,但我们证明它编码一种核极蛋白,以下简称为 "肿瘤凋亡相关蛋白1",在肺癌中上调,它与含有BH结构域的Bcl-2家族凋亡调节因子有远缘同源性。总之,这些研究结果表明 TAAP1/C22orf46 是一种促进生存的癌基因,对治疗具有重要意义。
