description Abstracts Immunotherapy is a revolutionized therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment attributing to the rapid development of genomics and immunology, and immune checkpoint inhibitors have successfully achieved responses in numbers of tumor types, including hematopoietic malignancy. However, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease and there is still a lack of systematic demonstration to apply immunotherapy in AML based on PD-1/PD-L1 blockage. Thus, the identification of molecules that drive tumor immunosuppression and stratify patients according to the benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors is urgently needed. Here, we reported that STAT5 was highly expressed in the AML cohort and activated the promoter of glycolytic genes to promote glycolysis in AML cells. As a result, the increased-lactate accumulation promoted E3BP nuclear translocation and facilitated histone lactylation, ultimately inducing PD-L1 transcription. Immune checkpoint inhibitor could block the interaction of PD-1/PD-L1 and reactive CD8+ T cells in the microenvironment when co-culture with STAT5 constitutively activated AML cells. Clinically, lactate accumulation in bone marrow was positively correlated with STAT5 as well as PD-L1 expression in newly diagnosed AML patients. Therefore, we have illustrated a STAT5-lactate-PD-L1 network in AML progression, which demonstrates that AML patients with STAT5 induced-exuberant glycolysis and lactate accumulation may be benefited from PD-1/PD-L-1-based immunotherapy.
