YTHDF3 phase separation regulates HSPA13-dependent clear cell renal cell carcinoma development and immune evasion.

ABSTRACT: Insufficient understanding about the immune evasion mechanism leads to the inability in predicting current immunotherapy effects in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and sensitizing ccRCC to immunotherapy. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) can promote tumor progression and immune evasion. However, research on RBPs, particularly m6A reader YTHDF3, in ccRCC development and immune evasion is limited. In this study, we found that YTHDF3 level was downregulated in ccRCC and was an independent prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. Decreased YTHDF3 expression was correlated with the malignancy, immune evasion, and poor response to anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)/CTLA-4 in ccRCC. YTHDF3 overexpression restrained ccRCC cell malignancy, PD-L1 expression, CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and acti
