Androgen Receptor Inhibition Increases MHC Class I Expression and Improves Immune Response in Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Significance

Immunotherapy options for immune cold tumors, like prostate cancer, are limited. We show that AR downregulates MHCI expression/antigen presentation and that AR inhibition improves T-cell responses and tumor control. This suggests that treatments combining AR inhibitors and checkpoint blockade may improve tumor immune surveillance and antitumor immunity in patients.
