Abstract

The immunosuppressive network formed by the enhanced crosstalk between tumor cells and various types of immune cells may ultimately lead to the formation of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIME). The Golgi apparatus (GA) of tumor cells is a key organelle in the formation of a tumor immunosuppressive network. However, there are no studies to show whether interfering with the GA of tumor cells can reshape the immunosuppressive network to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Therefore, the tumor cell GA‐targeting self‐assembled peptide (NF‐1) is tailored, and confirmed that NF‐1 treatment can achieve an effective immunotherapy and found that tumor cell‐derived GA‐dependent migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mediates the formation of immunosuppressive network in breast cancer (BRCA) through multi‐omics analysis, in vivo, and in vitro experiments. NF‐1 treatment‐induced MIF reduction can reshape the immunosuppressive network and convert a “cold” tumor into a “hot” tumor, thus enabling immunotherapy in BRCA and enhancing the ICB efficacy in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). This study presents a general strategy for interfering with tumor GA for effective immunotherapy in BRCA, COAD, and other cancers characterized by a “cold” immune microenvironment.

  • The Golgi apparatus exerts substantial influence on the tumor immune microenvironment by controlling cytokine secretion, antigen presentation, and expression of immune checkpoint molecules.

    “The GA also exerts substantial influence on the tumor immune microenvironment by controlling cytokine secretion, antigen presentation, and the expression of immune checkpoint molecules.”

    From Construction and validation of golgi apparatus-related genes as predictors of the immune microenvironment and prognosis in colorectal cancer (2026) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes the Golgi apparatus as a contributor to tumor-cell secretion and immune-cell crosstalk, including the production of immunosuppressive cytokines. The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report an association between Golgi-dependent MIF and immune regulation, but do not establish that the Golgi controls antigen presentation or immune-checkpoint expression; the reported checkpoint finding is a correlation with MIF expression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
