Abstract

Immunotherapies have yet to demonstrate significant efficacy in the treatment of hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast Cancer. Given that endocrine therapy (ET) is the primary approach for treating HR+ breast Cancer, we investigated the effects of ET on the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) in HR+ breast Cancer. Spatial proteomics analysis of primary HR+ breast Cancer samples obtained at baseline and after ET from patients enrolled in a neoadjuvant clinical trial (NCT02764541) indicated that ET upregulated B2-microglobulin and influenced the TME in a manner that promotes enhanced immunogenicity. To gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms, the intrinsic effects of ET on Cancer cells were explored, which revealed that ET plays a crucial role in facilitating the chromatin binding of RelA, a key component of the NF-κB complex. Consequently, heightened NF-κB signaling enhanced the response to interferon-gamma, leading to the upregulation of β2-microglobulin and Other antigen presentation-related genes. Further, modulation of NF-κB signaling using a SMAC-mimetic in conjunction with ET augmented T-cell migration and enhanced MHC-I specific T-cell mediated cytotoxicity. Remarkably, the combination of ET and SMAC-mimetics, which also block pro-survival effects of NF-κB signaling through the degradation of inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAP) proteins, elicited tumor regression through cell-autonomous mechanisms, providing additional support for their combined use in HR+ breast Cancer.
