RBM15-mediated Metabolic Reprogramming Boosts Immune Response in Colorectal Cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) offers therapeutic options for patients with advanced colorectal cancer; however, only a subset of patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors respond to treatment. Therefore, strategies to enhance immunotherapy sensitivity are urgently needed. In this study, we demonstrate that RBM15 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. Loss of RBM15 increases the expression of fumarate hydratase (FH), leading to a reduction in its substrate fumarate, which acts as a suppressor of anti-tumor immunity. Notably, RBM15 depletion delays tumor growth by promoting CD8+ T cell infiltration. Our findings identify RBM15 as a key suppressor of anti-tumor immunity, suggesting that targeting RBM15 could be a promising therapeutic strategy in colorectal cancer.
