PTIR1 acts as an isoform of DDX58 and promotes tumor immune resistance through activation of UCHL5.

Cancer evades host immune surveillance by virtue of poor immunogenicity. Here, we report an immune suppressor, designated as PTIR1, that acts as a promotor of tumor immune resistance. PTIR1 is selectively induced in human cancers via alternative splicing of DDX58 (RIG-I), and its induction is closely related to poor outcome in patients with cancer. Through blocking the recruitment of leukocytes, PTIR1 facilitates cancer immune escape and tumor-intrinsic resistance to immunotherapeutic treatments. Unlike RIG-I, PTIR1 is capable of binding to the C terminus of UCHL5 and activates its ubiquitinating function, which in turn inhibits immunoproteasome activity and limits neoantigen processing and presentation, consequently blocking T cell recognition and attack against cancer. Moreover, we find that the adenosine deaminase ADAR1 induces A-to-I RNA editing on DDX58 transcript, thus triggering PTIR1 production. Collectively, our data uncover the immunosuppressive role of PTIR1 in tumorigenesis and propose that ADAR1-PTIR1-UCHL5 signaling is a potential cancer immunotherapeutic target.
