Dataset Summary
TitleUBE2D3 is an Intracellular Checkpoint in Pancreatic Ductal Carcinoma that Restricts CD8+ T-Cell Antitumor Immunity
DescriptionUbiquitylation is pivotal in regulating cellular responses, with its aberration implicated in tumor immune evasion. However, the impact of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s) on this evasion remains unclear. Here, we employ a systematic approach to demonstrate that in pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC), the inflammatory microenvironment induces overexpression of the E2 enzyme UBE2D3, contributing to tumor progression through non-oncogene codependent disorders. Through gene expression analyses and functional investigations, we elucidate a mechanism wherein cancer cells evade T cell immune responses by UBE2D3 binding to the ubiquitin ligase KLHL13 to co-ubiquitinate TAP2. This K63-linkage ubiquitination at the lysine 245 site of TAP2 impedes antigenic peptide transport by the TAP1/TAP2 complex, hindering p-MHC assembly and presentation in cancer cells. We demonstrate that genetic inhibition of UBE2D3 enhances tumor-specific CD8+ T cell proliferation and extends effector-memory-like phenotypes. Building on this, we develop a small-molecule inhibitor, QX-6, targeting the active site of UBE2D3 to disrupt its function. Pharmacologic inhibition of UBE2D3 blocks the ubiquitylation of antigen presentation-related substrates, leading to increased p-MHC presentation by cancer cells and reduced T cell exhaustion. Using immunocompetent and humanized models, we elucidate the therapeutic efficacy of targeting UBE2D3. Furthermore, we evaluate the synergistic anti-tumor effects of QX-6 in combination with KRAS-targeted TCR-T cell immunotherapy. In summary, our study reveals a post-translational modification mechanism wherein the intracellular checkpoint UBE2D3 regulates the TAP2 switch to control cancer cell evasion of CTLs, presenting a potential immunotherapeutic strategy to improve PDAC treatment outcomes.
