Overview

HACS1 (Hematopoietic Adaptor-Containing SH3 and SAM domains), also known as SAMSN1, is an adaptor protein that functions as a tumor suppressor in the context of multiple myeloma (MM). It acts as a negative regulator of the IL-4 signaling axis and plays a critical role in modulating the bone marrow microenvironment. Research presented at ASH 2025 indicates that HACS1 deficiency (Hacs1-/-) leads to the accumulation of pro-tumorigenic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), upregulated PD-L1 expression, and suppressed T-cell activity. Conversely, the therapeutic stimulation or overexpression of HACS1 has been shown to reduce MDSC accumulation, enhance T-cell function, and decrease tumor burden. HACS1 is being investigated as a therapeutic target, with HACS1 agonists or stimulators potentially serving to overcome the immunosuppressive microenvironment in multiple myeloma.
