ウリジン枯渇はN-グリコシル化を介してCD8⁺ T細胞の抗腫瘍活性を損なう

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) faces limitations owing to high cost and restricted efficacy. This study identifies SNX17 as a key mediator of ICB resistance. Elevated SNX17 correlates with poor anti-PD-1 response in humans and mice. SNX17 deletion in tumor cells inhibits tumor growth via CD8⁺ T cell-dependent mechanisms. SNX17 reduces uridine in the tumor microenvironment (TME), suppressing IFN-γ and upregulating PD1 in CD8⁺ T cells. Exogenous uridine shows antitumor efficacy comparable to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 in low-SNX17 tumors and overcomes resistance in high-SNX17 models. Uridine enhances CD8⁺ T cell function by promoting CD45 N-glycosylation and LCK phosphorylation. Mechanistically, SNX17 stabilizes RUNX2, promoting UPP1 transcription and uridine degradation in the TME. These findings position SNX17 as an ICB response biomarker and nominate uridine as a cost-effective immunotherapeutic strategy.
