The Novel HDAC Inhibitor OBP-801 Promotes MHC Class I Presentation Through LMP2 Upregulation, Enhancing the PD-1-Targeting Therapy in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been reported to exhibit immunomodulatory activities, including the upregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC class I). Although the immunoproteasome plays a pivotal role in MHC class I antigen presentation, its effect on immunotherapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear.

Methods

This study assessed whether OBP-801, a novel HDAC inhibitor, affects the expression of immunoproteasome subunits and subsequently the MHC class-I-mediated anti-cancer immunity in ccRCC. We analyzed the data of 531 patients with ccRCC from the Cancer Genome Atlas Kidney Clear Cell Carcinoma database. We further evaluated the treatment efficacy of the combination of OBP-801 and anti-PD-1 in a ccRCC mouse
