Abstract:Background: Glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, are widely used for prevent vomiting and allergic reactions associated with cancer immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Although such use is reported to reduce the immunotherapy's efficacy, nevertheless, how dexamethasone associates with specific immune cells, particularly inside the tumor microenvironment, still remains unclear.Methods: We integrate multi-omics data, including transcriptome, mutation, copy number variation (CNV), and methylation, to explore the d… Show more
“…In the cancer microenvironment, the response score of dexamethasone is positively correlated with a subset of innate immune cells. This study indicates that dexamethasone is potentially correlated with anti-cancer immunity in the cancer microenvironment 16 .…”
“…Their study suggested that GR agonists induced miR-708 and downstream suppression of NF-kappa B signaling, which may be applicable as a novel therapeutic intervention in breast cancer treatment 15 . Shen et al 16 integrated multi-omics data to identify the responsive genes of dexamethasone and found that they were transcriptionally down-regulated. In the cancer microenvironment, the response score of dexamethasone is positively correlated with a subset of innate immune cells.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
