Abstract

第一線口服用藥sorafenib和lenvatinib針對晚期肝癌的治療效果不彰,而目前療效最佳的免疫治療(atezolizumab)合併抗血管新生藥物的客觀反應率(ORR)只有約27%。因此開發新的肝癌免疫治療標靶與生物標誌是迫切需要的工作。本計畫將蒐集臨床肝癌腫瘤與血液來探討DLK1表現與免疫逃脫及預後的相關性,並利用免疫健全的肝癌動物模式驗證DLK1作為新肝癌免疫治療標靶的可能性。最後,利用肝癌細胞與T細胞共培養系統來研究DLK1調控腫瘤免疫逃脫的機制。期望此計畫的研究成果能進一步開發DLK1抗體藥物或阻斷劑作為新的肝癌免疫治療製劑,達成提升國人健康、學術地位和和產業發展的終極目標。
