PG - 586-589 LID - S1535-6108(21)00107-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ccell.2021.02.005 [doi] AB - Here we argue in support of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) supergene as a tumor suppressor. HLA is a recurring mutational target in a large and diverse group of malignancies. The tumor suppressor function of HLA is linked to an embryonic/stemness and drug resistance phenotype. A deeper understanding of the distinct roles of HLA, including immunosurveillance, stemness, and tumor suppressor functions, could illuminate the limited responses in cancer patients. Furthermore, it would provide guidelines for the design of new therapeutic strategies, including the potential of modulating HLA expression in the tumor stem cell compartment.
