Atrx deficiency sensitizes NSCLC to ICI treatment in orthotopic mouse model. (A) experimental design for establishment of the orthotopic mouse model by intravenous seeding of tumor cells to analyze the tumor burden in vivo. (B) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of mice bearing LLC tumors with and without Atrx deficiency after anti-PD1 or anti-CTLA4 treatment. Neither aCTLA4 (n = 4) nor aPD1 (n = 4) treated mice showed a significant survival difference in Atrx-expression mice, compared with control group (n = 4) (P = 0.9341, 0.9412). Both aCTLA4 (n = 4) and aPD1 (n = 4) treated mice showed a significant survival difference in Atrx-deficient mice, compared with control group (n = 4) (P = 0.006, 0.003). (C) The luciferase signals detected by IVIS in mice bearing LLC generated tumors with and without Atrx deficiency after ICI or isotype antibody treatment. Neither aCTLA4 (n = 4) nor aPD1 (n = 4) treated mice showed a significant signal difference in Atrx-expression mice, compared with control group (n = 4) (P = 0.8521, 0.7644). Both aCTLA4 (n = 4) and aPD1 (n = 4) treated mice showed a significant signal difference in Atrx-deficient mice, compared with control group (n = 4) (P = 0.005, 0.002). **P<0.01. n.s., not significant.
