Summary: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) persistently provides a prognosis improvement but only in a small fraction of patients with cancer due to immunotherapy resistance induced by the consecutive activated oncogenic pathways, including MAPK, Akt, and WNT pathway partially driven by Metadherin (MTDH). However, there is no study to investigate the potential role and mechanisms of MTDH in ICB-treated cancers. Here, we systematically explored the cohorts from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and independent cancer cohorts. Elevated MTDH expression was founded to associate with a worse overall survival and poorer immune response in patients with cancer. Dysregulated tumor-infiltrating immune cells and inhibitory immune checkpoint expression were correlated with MTDH expression. Furthermore, the mutual interactions between epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition, m6A-RNA-methylation, and MTDH may illustrate the potential mechanisms of MTDH resistant to ICB treatment. Although more designed experiments and trials are needed in the future, targeting MTDH may help to overcome immunotherapy resistance in a wide range of cancers. |
