Provided herein, inter alia, are methods and compositions directed to suppressing tumor cell growth in a subject as well as methods for sensitizing a proliferating cell for treatment with a cytotoxic agent via inhibiting expression of HE4 and one or more immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Also provided herein are methods for determining whether a subject who has been diagnosed with cancer would benefit from immunotherapy as well as methods for determining whether a subject with cancer is responding to immunotherapy via assessment of levels of HE4 gene and/or protein expression.
本文提供了用于抑制肿瘤细胞在受试者中生长的方法和组合物,以及用于通过抑制HE4和一个或多个免疫检查点
抑制剂(ICI)的表达来使增殖细胞对细胞毒性药物治疗敏感的方法。还提供了用于确定已被诊断患有癌症的受试者是否会从免疫疗法中受益的方法,以及通过评估HE4
基因和/或蛋白质表达
水平来确定癌症受试者是否对免疫疗法做出反应的方法。
