Tripartite motif-containing protein 29 (TRIM29) is a member of TRIM family protein which has been reported to play a role in the progress of inflammatory and cancer diseases. However, its specific role in gastric cancer (GC) has yet to be fully understood. Here, we investigated the expression of TRIM29 in gastric cancer and its functions in the antitumor immunity. TRIM29 expression was lower in tumor tissues than that in paired normal tissues. Lower expression of TRIM29 was related to aberrant hypermethylation of CpG islands in TRIM29 gene. Comprehensive proteomics and immunoprecipitation analyses identified IGF2BP1 as TRIM29 interactors. TRIM29 interacted with IGF2BP1 and induced its ubiquitination at Lys440 and Lys450 site by K48-mediated linkage for protein degradation. IGF2BP1 promoted PD-L1 mRNA stability and expression in a 3'UTR and m6A-dependent manner. Functionally, TRIM29 enhanced antitumor T-cell immunity in gastric cancer dependent on the IGF2BP1/PD-L1 axis in vivo and in vitro. Clinical correlation analysis revealed that TRIM29 expression in patient samples was associated with CD8+ immune cell infiltration in the GC microenvironment and the overall survival rates of GC patients. Our findings revealed a crucial role of TRIM29 in regulating the antitumor T-cell immunity in GC. We also suggested that the TRIM29/IGF2BP1/PD-L1 axis could be used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of gastric cancer and a promising target for GC immunotherapy.
