The capacity of a specific pMHC-I to elicit T cell responses is deeply influenced by its expression level (quantity) and its immunogenicity (quality). Tumor cells can evade T cell immunity by down-regulating the quantity of pMHC-Is or selectively eliminating highly immunogenic antigenic peptides. Augmenting the quantity or quality of pMHC-Is is essential for tumor immunotherapy. However, the complexity of pMHC-I regulation and tumor heterogeneity pose challenges to clinical strategies. Consequently, developing approaches grounded in comprehensive analyses of pMHC-I regulatory mechanisms remains a focal point in the research of T cell immunity. In this review, we discuss how tumors modulate their surface pMHC-Is through genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic mechanisms and summarize potential therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms, which may provide a valuable reference for the development of novel tumor immunotherapies based on pMHC-I modulation. Tumor cells can achieve immune escape by interfering with the quantity and quality of pMHC-Is, and corresponding immunotherapy can also be achieved by the regulation of pMHC-Is.</p>","PeriodicalId":6942,"journal":{"name":"Acta Pharmacologica Sinica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the well-established link between glutamine reliance and tumor progression, the specific role of glutamine transporters in HNSCC remains poorly understood. The alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2), a key glutamine transporter, is overexpressed in HNSCC, and its silencing has been shown to reduce intracellular glutamine and glutathione levels, inhibiting tumor growth. These facts suggest that targeting ASCT2-mediated glutamine uptake could offer a promising therapeutic strategy for HNSCC. But no clinically approved drugs directly target ASCT2, and challenges such as the limited stability of antisense oligonucleotides persist. In this study we evaluated the correlation between ASCT2-mediate glutamine metabolism and its impact on HNSCC patients. We established a virtual screening method followed by cytotoxic assays to identify small molecules that specifically target ASCT2. Among the top 15 candidates, we identified yuanhuacine (YC) as the most potent antitumor compound with IC<sub>50</sub> values of 1.43, 6.62, and 6.46 μM against HN6, CAL33, and SCC7 cells, respectively. We demonstrated that YC (0.3-5 μM) dose-dependently induced ASCT2 degradation by recruiting the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF5, inhibiting glutamine uptake in HN6 cells. This disruption led to mitochondrial dysfunction and enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of YC.

Here, we found that the levels of DUB, ovarian tumor deubiquitinase 1 (OTUD1), were upregulated in AD model mice and amyloid-beta-induced microglia. OTUD1 knockdown in microglia significantly inhibited neuroinflammation, thereby improving cognitive impairment in AD model mice. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis coupled with co-immunoprecipitation revealed the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ), a key transcription factor regulating microglial inflammation, as an OTUD1-interacting protein. Mechanistically, OTUD1 bound to C/EBPβ and maintained its stability by removing the K48 ubiquitin chain at K253 of C/EBPβ, thereby activating the C/EBPβ-nuclear factor-κB-mediated inflammatory responses in microglia. Overall, our results revealed the roles of the OTUD1-C/EBPβ axis in mediating the microglial inflammatory responses and AD pathology, facilitating the development of new strategies targeting microglial neuroinflammation for AD treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":6942,"journal":{"name":"Acta Pharmacologica Sinica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143954967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
