SIN3B Loss Heats up Cold Tumor Microenvironment to Boost Immunotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Despite progress significant advances in immunotherapy for some solid tumors, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unresponsive poorly responsive to such interventions, largely due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) with limited CD8⁺ T cell infiltration. This study explores the role of the epigenetic factor Sin3B in the PDAC TME. Using murine PDAC models, we found that tumor cell-intrinsic Sin3B loss reshapes the TME, increasing CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and cytotoxicity, thus impeding tumor progression and enhancing sensitivity to anti-PD1 treatment. Sin3B-deficient tumor cells exhibited amplified CXCL9/10 secretion in response to Interferon-gamma (IFNγ), creating a positive feedback loop via the CXCL9/10-CXCR3 axis, thereby intens
