Tumors frequently subvert major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) peptide presentation to evade CD8⁺ T cell immunosurveillance, though how this is accomplished is not always well defined. To identify the global regulatory networks controlling antigen presentation, we employed genome-wide screening in human diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). This approach revealed dozens of genes that positively and negatively modulate MHC-I cell surface expression. Validated genes clustered in multiple pathways including cytokine signaling, mRNA processing, endosomal trafficking, and protein metabolism. Genes can exhibit lymphoma subtype- or tumor-specific MHC-I regulation, and a majority of primary DLBCL tumors displayed genetic alterations in multiple regulators. We established SUGT1 as a major positive regulator of both MHC-I and MHC-II cell surface expression. Further, pharmacological inhibition of two negative regulators of antigen presentation, EZH2 and thymidylate synthase, enhanced DLBCL MHC-I presentation. These and other genes represent potential targets for manipulating MHC-I immunosurveillance in cancers, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
