Core Tip Mediator complex subunit 12 mutation in lung cancer cells activates Notch signaling, which concurrently promotes cancer stemness - characterized by enhanced sphere formation and increased ALDH1+ cells - and induces immune evasion via upregulation of surface programmed death ligand-1 on tumor cells. This leads to impaired CD8+ T cell chemotaxis, reduced release of effector molecules (interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, perforin, granzyme-B), and increased programmed cell death 1 expression. Notch inhibitor DAPT reverses these pro-tumor effects.
