  • Patent number: 12228575
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancy induced by exposure to microplastics and use thereof, and more particularly, it was confirmed that the expression level of CD44, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, PD-L1, NPAS2, NR1D1, DNMT1, SLC7A2, PCDH7 and CLDN7 was changed in cancer cell lines and animal models treated with polystyrene microspheres which are the one type of microplastic for 4 weeks, and malignancy was induced due to an increase in proliferation, migration and invasion of cancer cells by the change in the expression level of the gene, and 5-year overall survival rates in gastric cancer patients decreased and thus the genes may be provided as a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancies by exposure to microplastics.

  • Patent number: 12230364
    Abstract: Methods for selecting a cancer patient for immunotherapy comprise establishing a total passenger gene mutation burden from a tumor of a cancer patient, generating a background distribution for the mutational burden of the tumor, normalizing the total passenger gene mutation burden against the background distribution, and categorizing the cancer patient as an immunotherapy responder when the total passenger gene mutation burden is greater than the mean of the background distribution. When the cancer patient is an immunotherapy responder, the patient may be administered an immunotherapy regimen that comprises activation/inhibition of T cell receptors that promote T cell activation and/or prolong immune cytolytic activities.
