The role of UBE2N in myeloid cell-mediated immune suppression in cancer remains undefined. Here, we examined the function of UBE2N in myeloid cell-mediated tumor progression using a temporally inducible myeloid-specific knockout model (LysMCreERUbe2nfl/fl). Temporally induced deletion of Ube2n in myeloid cells (Ube2nMyeKO) significantly hindered growth of YUMM1.7 melanoma. This was accompanied by reduced myeloid cell burden within the tumor microenvironment. We observed altered abundance of PD-1, PD-L1, and SPP1 in the Ube2nMyeKO tumor microenvironment at the tissue level. In vitro analysis showed that knock-in expression of a catalytically deficient UBE2NC87S mutant in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) markedly decreased expression of Spp1. We observed decreased SPP1 secretion in Ube2nMyeKO BMDM-conditioned media (CM). Treatment with Ube2nMyeKO BMDM-CM decreased co-expression of PD-1, TIM-3, and LAG-3 on chronically stimulated T cells. Antibody-mediated neutralization of SPP1 in Ube2nWT BMDM-CM decreased PD-1 expression on CD8+ T cells. Together, these findings suggest a role for myeloid UBE2N in YUMM1.7 progression.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
