Progranulin mediates immune evasion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma through regulation of MHCI expression

Immune responses to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma can be inhibited by cancer cells. Here the authors show that high levels of progranulin in PDAC inhibits immune responses by reducing MHC class I antigen presentation through enhanced degradation of MHC class I via autophagy.
