SETDB1-TRIM28 complex suppresses antitumor immunity [RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Epigenetic mechanism contributes to immune landscapes in cancer. Here we identify the SETDB1-TRIM28 complex as a critical suppressor of antitumor immunity. An epigenetic CRISPR-Cas9 screen of 1,218 chromatin regulators identified TRIM28 as a novel suppressor of PD-L1 expression. We revealed that expression of the SETDB1-TRIM28 complex negatively correlates with infiltration of effector CD8+ T cells. Inhibition of SETDB1-TRIM28 simultaneously upregulates PD-L1 and activates the cGAS-STING innate immune response to increase infiltration of CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, SETDB1-TRIM28 inhibition leads to micronuclei formation in cytoplasm, a known activator of the cGAS-STING pathway. Thus, SETDB1-TRIM28 inhibition bridges the innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, SETDB1 knockout enhances the antitumor effects of immune checkpoint blockade anti-PD-L1 in an ovarian cancer mouse model in a cGAS dependent manner. Our findings establish SETDB1-TRIM28 complex as a regulator of antitumor immunity and its loss activates cGAS-STING innate immunity to boost antitumor effects of immune checkpoint blockades.
