Abstract

PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) is a frequently lost tumor suppressor gene in prostate cancer, leading to aggressive tumor behavior and poor clinical outcomes. PTEN loss results in aberrant activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, promoting oncogenesis. These alterations also lead to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with altered immune cell infiltration, cytokine profiles, and immune checkpoint regulation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms underlying PTEN loss in prostate cancer and the consequent immune alterations observed in this subtype, thus underscoring the importance of understanding PTEN-mediated immune modulation for the development of effective therapeutic interventions in prostate cancer.
