By inhibiting FAK activation and upregulating PIK3IP1, Ifebemtinib and paclitaxel blocked the PI3K/Akt pathway, effectively suppressing TNBC proliferation and metastasis. Our findings suggest that FAK may serve as a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.

We show that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibition with ifebemtinib or tumor genetic FAK knockout (KO) in syngeneic ovarian tumor models stimulated resident large peritoneal macrophages to express CXCL13 chemokine and promoted B cell infiltration. reveal that tumor FAK inhibition educates macrophages to express CXCL13 associated with B cell infiltration - highlighting a new therapeutic pathway linking FAK inhibition, omega-3 fatty acid containing exosomes, and macrophage mediated anti-tumor activation. Genetic or small molecule FAK inhibition enhances ovarian tumor B cell infiltrationTumor FAK inhibition stimulates GATA6+ macrophages to make CXCL13FAKi, pegylated doxorubicin and anti-TIGIT promote tertiary lymphoid structuresOmega-3 fatty acids stimulate human HGSOC ascites macrophages to make CXCL13.
