Key Points

  • To investigate the role of glucocorticoid receptor signaling in immune evasion mechanisms in triple negative breast cancer.
  • Identified glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathways in tumor cells
  • Analyzed the effects on PD-L1 activation and MHC-I repression
  • Proposed a combined therapy of glucocorticoid receptor targeting and immunotherapy
  • Glucocorticoid receptor signaling activates PD-L1 expression
  • Repression of MHC-I was observed, facilitating immune escape
  • Proposed therapy may enhance the effectiveness of existing immunotherapies

Abstract

Our study identifies GR signaling as a tumor-intrinsic immunosuppressive axis in TNBC, transcriptionally activating PD-L1 while repressing MHC-I to drive immune escape. These findings propose GR-targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy as a clinically actionable strategy to reverse immune evasion.
