CDK4/6i enhances the antitumor effect of PD1 antibody by promoting TLS formation in ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is insensitive to immunotherapy and has a high mortality rate. CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) regulate the tumor microenvironment and play an antitumor role. Our previous research demonstrated that lymphocyte aggregation (tertiary lymphoid structures, TLSs) was observed after CDK4/6i treatment. This may explain the synergistic action of CDK4/6i with the anti-PD1 antibody. However, the key mechanism by which CDK4/6i promotes TLS formation has not been elucidated. We examine the link between TLS and prognosis. Animal models and high-throughput sequencing were used to explore the potential mechanism by which CDK4/6i promotes TLS formation. Our results showed the presence of TLSs was associated with a favorable prognosis for ovarian cancer. CDK4/6i promoted TLS formation and enhanc
