LncRNA and its role in gastric cancer immunotherapy
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a potential dominant disease in tumor immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors, and adoptive cell therapy have brought great hope to GC patients. However, only some patients with GC can benefit from immunotherapy, and some patients develop drug resistance. More and more studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be important in GC immunotherapy’s prognosis and drug resistance. Here, we summarize the differential expression of lncRNAs in GC and their impact on the curative effect of GC immunotherapy, discuss potential mechanisms of activity in GC immunotherapy resistance regulated by lncRNAs. This paper reviews the differential expression of lncRNA in GC and its effect on immunotherapy efficacy in GC. In terms of genomic stability, inhibitory immune checkpoint molecular expression, the cross-talk between lncRNA and immune-related characteristics of GC was summarized, including tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and Programmed death 1 (PD-1). At the same time, this paper reviewed the mechanism of tumor-induced antigen presentation and upregulation of immunosuppressive factors, as well as the association between Fas system and lncRNA, immune microenvironment (TIME) and lncRNA, and summarized the functional role of lncRNA in tumor immune evasion and immunotherapy resistance.
