Abstract Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) ensures that tumor cells escape T-cell-mediated tumor immune surveillance. However, gliomas are characteristic of the low immune response and high-resistance therapy, it is necessary to understand molecular regulatory mechanisms in glioblastoma, especially the limited regulation of PD-L1 expression. Herein, we show that low expression of AP-2α is correlated with high expression of PD-L1 in high-grade glioma tissues. AP-2α binds directly to the promoter of the CD274 gene, not only inhibits the transcriptional activity of PD-L1 but enhances endocytosis and degradation of PD-L1 proteins. Overexpression of AP-2α in gliomas enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated proliferation, effector cytokine secretion, and cytotoxicity in vitro. Tfap2a could increase the cytotoxic effect of Cd8+ T cells in CT26, B16F10, and GL261 tumor-immune models, improve anti-tumor immunity, and promote the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. Finally, the EZH2/H3K27Me3/DNMT1 complex mediates the methylation modification of AP-2α gene and maintains low expression of AP-2α in gliomas. 5-Aza-dC (Decitabine) treatment combines with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy to efficiently suppress the progression of GL261 gliomas. Overall, these data support a mechanism of epigenetic modification of AP-2α that contributes to tumor immune evasion, and reactivation of AP-2α synergizes with anti-PD-1 antibodies to increase antitumor efficacy, which may be a broadly applicable strategy in solid tumors. |
