Dickkopf 1 impairs the tumor response to PD-1 blockade by inactivating CD8+ T cells in deficient mismatch repair colorectal cancer
1 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dickkopf 1 (DKK1) is associated with tumor progression. However, whether DKK1 influences the tumor response to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) blockade in colorectal cancers (CRCs) with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or microsatellite instability (MSI) has never been clarified. METHODS: Tumor tissues from 80 patients with dMMR CRC were evaluated for DKK1 expression and immune status via...
