Interestingly, nude mice with BATF2-KD tumors expressed higher levels of PD-L1, ZEB2, and p-AKT–PI3K; however, there are no differences of tumor growth in this immune-compromised model where in patient samples, BATF2 is correlated with better prognosis, indicating that BATF2 on host immune cells plays an important role for antitumor immunity. Here, AKT1 is linked to neoplasm.
