    The tumor microenvironment (TME) in renal cell carcinomas (RCC) is marked by substantial immunosuppression and immune resistance despite having extensive T-cell infiltration. Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying immune evasion could help identify therapeutic strategies to boost the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in RCC. This study uncovered a mechanism wherein the polyadenylate-binding protein PABPC1L modulates indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), a prospective target for immunotherapy. PABPC1L was markedly upregulated in RCC, and high PABPC1L expression correlated with unfavorable prognosis and resistance to ICB. PABPC1L bolstered tryptophan metabolism by upregulating IDO1, inducing T-cell dysfunction and Treg infiltration. PABPC1L enhanced the stability of JAK2 mRNA, leading to increased JAK2-STAT1 signaling that induced IDO1 expression. Additionally, PABPC1L-induced activation of the JAK2-STAT1 axis created a positive feedback loop to promote PABPC1L transcription. Conversely, loss of PABPC1L diminished IDO1 expression, mitigated cytotoxic T-cell suppression, and enhanced responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy in patient-derived xenograft models. These findings reveal the crucial role of PABPC1L in facilitating immune evasion in RCC and indicate that inhibiting PABPC1L could be a potential immunotherapeutic approach in combination with ICB to improve patient outcomes. PABPC1L functions as a key factor in renal cell carcinoma immune evasion, enhancing IDO1 and impeding T-cell function, and represents a potential target to enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy. ©2024 The Authors; Published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
