(L) mHE4-Fc failed to reverse tumor growth suppression in HE4-KO LLC tumors implanted in Rag1 -deficient mice. (M) Extracellular HE4 did not promote LLC cell proliferation in vitro , as assessed by CCK8 assay. (N) mHE4-Fc administration suppressed CD8 + T cell activation in the TME of HE4-KO LLC tumors, assessed by IFN-γ + and granzyme B + CD8 + T cells. (O) HE4 upregulated PD-L1 expression on macrophages in the microenvironment of LLC, MC38, and HE4-KO LLC tumors. (P–R) mHE4-Fc administration failed to reverse tumor suppression of HE4-KO LLC subcutaneous tumors in Cd274 -deficient mice, with treatment scheme (P), tumor growth (Q), and tumor weight (R). Statistical analyses were performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum test (D), two-way ANOVA (E, F, J–L, and Q), log rank (Mantel-Cox) test (G), and two-tailed paired (C) or unpaired t tests (H, M, N, O, and R). Data represent two independent experiments (E and M).

Figure Lengend Snippet: HE4 competes with IFN-γ for IFN-γR binding and modulates downstream gene expression (A and B) Raw264.7 cells were stimulated with HE4-Fc (20 μg/mL) or IFN-γ (100 ng/mL) for 3 h, followed by RNA-seq; volcano plots of HE4- (A) or IFN-γ-regulated genes (B) are shown. (C) Genes commonly upregulated by HE4 and IFN-γ. (D) AlphaFold-3-predicted interfaces of HE4-IFNGR1/2 and IFN-γ-IFNGR1/2 complexes, with shared receptor-contact residues highlighted. (E) Competitive binding assay: His-tagged IFNGR1/2 was incubated with Flag-HE4 in the presence or absence of IFN-γ, followed by Ni-TED pull-down and immunoblotting. (F and G) SPR sensorgrams showing binding of mHE4-Fc (F) or mIFN-γ-Fc (G) to mIFNGR1-His. (H and I) ELISA quantification of HE4 and/or IFN-γ levels in ascites from ID8-tumor-bearing mice (H) and LLC-tumor-conditioned media (I). (J) High concentrations of HE4 reduced IFN-γ binding to IFNGR1/2 in competitive pull-down assays. (K) PCA of RNA-seq profiles from Raw264.7 cells treated with HE4-Fc, HE4-Fc plus IFN-γ, or IFN-γ for 12 h. (L) Expression (TPM) of representative STAT1- or STAT3-associated genes following the indicated treatments. Statistical analyses were performed using two-tailed paired Student’s t tests (H and I). Data in (E) and SPR sensorgrams (F and G) are representative of three independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: HE4 blockade exerts therapeutic efficacy across multiple mouse tumor models (A–C) Mice bearing subcutaneous LLC tumors were treated intraperitoneally with isotype immunoglobulin G (IgG) or anti-mHE4 mAbs (clones #1 or #117). Treatment scheme (A), tumor growth curves (B), and representative tumors with weights (C) are shown. (D and E) Anti-mHE4 (clone #117) treatment suppressed urethane-induced lung tumorigenesis, shown by representative H&E staining and tumor quantification. Scale bar, 1,000 μm. (F and G) HE4 blockade attenuated ID8 intraperitoneal tumor progression, shown by representative abdominal images and ascites volume.

Statistical analyses were performed using two-way ANOVA (B and N–P), one-way ANOVA (C, K, and N–Q), two-tailed unpaired t tests (E, G–J, and L), and chi-squared test (S). Data in (A–P) are pooled from two independent experiments. Scale bars, 100 μm.
