Significance PD-L1 is well known as an immune checkpoint molecule, which suppresses surveillance through binding to its receptor PD-1. Intracellular can also protect messenger RNAs of several DNA damage repair–related genes from degradation and enhance tumor resistance DNA-damaging therapy. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the worst prognosis highest risk distant relapse in shows immunotherapy radiotherapy. In this study, we found that D-mannose promote significantly radiotherapy TNBC. Since TNBC treatment still a clinical challenge, our findings provide strategies therapeutic efficacy may have application.

Abstract Immunotherapies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis have become first-line treatments in multiple cancers. However, only a limited subset of individuals achieves durable benefits because elusive mechanisms regulating PD-1/PD-L1. Here, we report that cells exposed to interferon-γ (IFNγ), KAT8 undergoes phase separation with induced IRF1 and forms biomolecular condensates upregulate PD-L1. Multivalency from both specific promiscuous interactions between is required for condensate formation. KAT8–IRF1 condensation promotes K78 acetylation binding CD247 (PD-L1) promoter further enriches transcription apparatus promote PD-L1 mRNA. Based on mechanism formation, identified 2142–R8 blocking peptide, which disrupts formation consequently inhibits expression enhances antitumor immunity vitro vivo. Our findings reveal key role regulation provide competitive peptide enhance immune responses.
