| Abstract: | Background: Standard treatment for breast cancer patients includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, target and endocrine therapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are newly developing medications. The theoretical basis of immunotherapy is the interaction between cancer cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Cancer cells secrete cytokines and create a specific tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) to attract or modulate immune cells. Further, genetic mutations or copy-number variations in cancer cells contribute to immunosuppression. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) protein (STK11 gene) is the upstream of AMP activated Protein Kinase (AMPK)/mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway. STK11/LKB1 is one of the possible pathways modulating TIME. Methods: Twenty-seven breast cancer patients who developed recurrence within postoperative 24 months and 22 control cancer patients without recurrence were enrolled from National Cheng Kung University Hospital in Taiwan. Targeted deep sequencing was performed to assess the mutations among individuals with breast cancer using a panel of 143 cancer-associated genes. Bioinformatics and public databases were used to predict the protein functions of the STK11 genes. Immunohistochemical staining of LKB1 protein was performed in clinical specimens. Immune-related molecules were analyzed by RNA sequencing and cytokine array after suppression of STK11. Results: Mutations of STK11 gene were detected in recurrent patients and associated with poor prognosis of patients. From immunohistochemical study, the patients with low LKB1 expression had a worse survival. We utilized CRISPER/Cas9 system to transfect sgRNA into three mouse cell lines, including M158, NF639 and PY8119. RNA sequencing was performed in parental and Stk11-sgRNA cells. Immune-related pathways were ranked in the top 10 networks. Increased mRNA expression of Csf3 (protein G-CSF), Cxcl5, and Ccl2 was detected. The results are confirmed by cytokine array. The expression of G-CSF (gene Csf3) and CXCL5 (gene Cxcl5) proteins was increased in Stk11-sgRNA cells. The results were similar with RNA sequencing. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that suppression of STK11/LKB1 is correlated with early recurrence of breast cancer patients and contributes to modulate TIME. The STK11/LKB1 and downstream AMPK/mTORC1 pathways may be potential targets for immunotherapy. |
