Abstract

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress promotes tumor cell escape from immunosurveillance. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that ER stress induces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells to release exosomes, which attenuate antitumor immunity by modulating the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) in macrophages. In this study, we demonstrated that expression of several ER stress markers (glucose‐regulated protein 78, activating transcription factor 6, protein kinase R–like ER kinase, and inositol‐requiring enzyme 1α) was up‐regulated in HCC tissues and negatively correlated with the overall survival and clinicopathological scores in patients with HCC. Expression of ER stress–related proteins positively correlated with CD68 + macrophage recruitment and PD‐L1 expression in HCC tissues. High‐throughput sequencing analysis identified miR‐23a‐3p as one of the most abundant microRNAs in exosomes derived from tunicamycin (TM)‐treated HCC cells (Exo‐TMs). miR‐23a‐3p levels in HCC tissues negatively correlated with overall survival. Treatment with Exo‐TMs up‐regulated the expression of PD‐L1 in macrophages in vitro and in vivo . Bioinformatics analysis suggests that miR‐23a‐3p regulates PD‐L1 expression through the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)–phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase–protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. This notion was confirmed by in vitro transfection and coculture experiments, which revealed that miR‐23a‐3p inhibited PTEN expression and subsequently elevated phosphorylated AKT and PD‐L1 expression in macrophages. Finally, coculture of T cells with Exo‐TM–stimulated macrophages decreased CD8 + T‐cell ratio and interleukin‐2 production but increased T‐cell apoptosis in vitro . Conclusion : ER‐stressed HCC cells release exosomes to up‐regulate PD‐L1 expression in macrophages, which subsequently inhibits T‐cell function through an exosome miR‐23a–PTEN–AKT pathway. Our findings provide insight into the mechanism how tumor cells escape from antitumor immunity.

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.
