Transcriptional mechanisms of resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Gene expression in 10 skin metastases from a patient with melanoma who had been treated with anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) therapy was measured. Differences in gene expression between the lesions which responded to the treatment (n = 6) and the lesions which progressed (n = 4) were analyzed. Expression of certain genes associated with the extracellular matrix and with neutrophil function was found to be higher in the metastases which progressed. Insight into the biology governing response to immunotherapy may lead to improved rationally designed therapies, and to biomarkers for selecting patients who are more likely to benefit from these treatments.
