Autophagy Inhibition by Fangji Huangqi Decoction Enhances Tumor Immunogenicity and Potentiates PD‐1 Blockade

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
In tumor cells, MHC‐I is typically degraded through autophagy, leading to reduced antigen presentation. However, Fangji Huangqi Decoction (FJHQ), acting as an autophagy inhibitor, suppresses lysosomal acidification, which in turn inhibits the degradation of MHC‐I. This results in increased surface expression of MHC‐I on tumor cells.
