[VIRTUAL] Associations between gut microbiota and PD-L1 immunotherapy/JAK1/2 inhibition in mouse Pten-deficient prostate cancer (AACR 2021)
Here, we investigate the associations between the treatment pairings of PD-L1 antibody (aPD-L1, clone D265A, mouse/IgG1 kappa) blockade and the JAK1/2 inhibitor AZD1480 with ADT in mouse Pten-deficient prostate cancer and fecal gut microbiomes...Functionally, enrichments in fatty acid biosynthesis/metabolism, tetracycline biosynthesis, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis were revealed in responders whereas lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, glycosaminoglycan degradation, fructose and mannose metabolism, histidine metabolism, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and the citrate cycle (TCA) were enriched in low responders. This study provides insight into the complex interactions between gut microbiota and cancer-burdened hosts, and reveals associations between gut microbial composition and treatment responses to androgen deprivation, immune modulation via JAK1/2 inhibition and PD-L1 blockade in a mouse model of Pten-deficient prostate cancer.
