PTEN is frequently mutated in human cancers and PTEN mutants promote tumor progression and metastasis. PTEN mutations have been implicated in immune regulation, however, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we report that PTENα, the isoform of PTEN, remains active in cancer bearing stop-gained PTEN mutations. Through counteraction of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, PTENα leads to T cell dysfunction and accelerates immune-resistant cancer progression. Clinical analysis ...[more]
