Targeted Degradation of sGRP78 Alleviates the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soluble GRP78 (sGRP78) is identified as a novel tumor‐derived soluble factor that induces regulatory T cells (Treg). sGRP78 serves as an excellent serological biomarker for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer patients. sGRP78 specifically binds to B cells, inducing the expression of IL‐10 and PD‐L1, thereby promoting Treg ...
