Overview

Prospective cohort reveals immunotherapy improves progression-free survival in gastric cancer, highlighting gut microbiota's role in overcoming therapeutic resistance.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the role of Eubacterium rectale and its metabolite butyrate in gastric cancer treatment and immunotherapy efficacy.
  • Analyzed a prospective gastric cancer cohort for Eubacterium rectale association with immunotherapy outcomes.
  • Conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess tumor growth, apoptosis, and immune cell infiltration.
  • Performed targeted metabolomics on gut, serum, and tumor samples to measure short-chain fatty acid distribution.
  • Eubacterium rectale and butyrate significantly inhibited tumor growth and promoted apoptosis.
  • Treatment led to reduced PD-L1 expression and increased CD8+ T-cell infiltration in mouse models.
  • Observations suggest that gut microbiota enhances progression-free survival and overcomes immunotherapy resistance.
