CDYL Loss Promotes Cervical Cancer Aggression by Increasing PD-L1 Expression Via the Suppression of IRF2BP2 Transcription
Translational Oncology(2024)
Abstract
Background: Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer have an extremely low 5-year survival rates about 17% due to limited therapeutic options. CDYL plays a critical role in multiple cancer development, as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in a context-dependent manner. However, the role of CDYL in cervical carcinogenesis has not yet been explored. Methods: CDYL expression was examined in cervical cancer and cell lines. The effect of CDYL/IRF2BP2/PD-L1 axis on malignant phenotypes of cervical cancer cells were tested with gain-of-function experiments. A mouse model of cervical cancer was developed to validate the in vitro results. Results: Clinical data analysis revealed that CDYL was downregulated and associated with a poor prognosis in cervical cancer patients. CDYL overexpression suppressed cervical cancer cells proliferation and invasion in vitro and vivo assays and enhanced the immune response by decreasing PD-L1 expression and reversing the tumor immunosuppressing microenvironment. Mechanistically, CDYL inhibited the PD-L1 expression through transcriptionally suppressing IRF2BP2 in cervical cancer cells. Conclusions: Taken together, our findings established the crucial role of CDYL in cervical carcinogenesis and sensitivity for immune checkpoint blockade therapy, and supported the hypothesis that CDYL could be a potential novel immunotherapy response predictive biomarker for cervical cancer patients.
