摘要

Tumour-induced mechanisms of immune evasion hinder immune response to cancer, particularly in melanoma. mRNA translation, by ensuring accurate protein synthesis, regulates cancer phenotypes and immune response, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we reveal how O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (OSGEP), catalysing the tRNA modification N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A), drives protein homeostasis in cancer cells to maintain T-cell exclusion and prevent anti-tumour immune response. t6A-deficient melanoma cells disrupt efficient cytoplasmic translation of ANN codons (trinucleotides with A in the first position and N = any nucleotide), causing specific protein aggregation and the formation of integrated stress response-dependent stress granules. We discovered that OSGEP loss triggers melanoma regression by relocating RIG-I to stress granules, leading to its pathway activation. As a result, T-cells are recruited to the tumour site and orchestrate an anti-tumour immune response. Finally, an OSGEP-driven gene signature in melanoma patients is associated with T-cell infiltration and improved overall survival. Together, our findings position t6A tRNA modification as a promising therapeutic target for melanoma treatment.
