摘要

The multifaceted roles and mechanisms of necroptosis in cancer cells remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that FGFR2 inhibition potently inhibits esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by inducing necroptosis in a RIP1/MLKL-dependent manner and show RIP3 is dispensable in this pathway. Notably, MST1 is identified as a necroptotic pathway component that interacts with RIP1 and MLKL to promote necroptosis by phosphorylating MLKL at Thr216. Additionally, FGFR2 inhibition induces Ser518 phosphorylation and triggers ubiquitin-mediated degradation of NF2, culminating in Hippo pathway suppression. Subsequently, YAP activation promotes RIP1 and MLKL transcriptional upregulation, further amplifying necroptosis. Intriguingly, IL-8 derived from necrotic cells stimulates peripheral surviving tumor cells to increase PD-L1 expression. Dual blockade of FGFR2/PD-L1 or FGFR2/IL-8-CXCR1/2 robustly impedes tumor growth in humanized mouse xenografts. Collectively, our findings delineate an alternative FGFR2-NF2-YAP signaling-dependent necroptotic pathway and shed light on the immunoregulatory role of FGFR2, offering promising avenues for combinatorial therapeutic strategies in clinical cancer management.
