NDR1 mediates PD-L1 deubiquitination to promote prostate cancer immune escape via USP10.

ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common male genitourinary system malignancies. Despite the significant benefits of anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in other cancers, the reasons for its poor therapeutic efficacy in prostate cancer (PCa) remain unclear.NDR1 plays an important role in innate immunity, but its role in tumor immunity and immunotherapy has not been investigated. The role of NDR1 in the immune microenvironment of PCa and the related mechanisms are unknown. Here, we found a positive correlation between NDR1 and PD-L1 expression in PCa. NDR1 significantly inhibits CD8 + T cell infiltration and function, thereby promoting immune escape in prostate cancer.More importantly, NDR1 inhibition significantly enhanced CD8 + T cell activation, which enhanced the thera
