Objective To investigate the correlation between gut microbiota characteristics and immunotherapy efficacy in patients with advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) advanced gastrointestinal tumors. Methods Thirty patients with advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors, including fourteen cases of gastric cancer and sixteen cases of colorectal cancer, who were admitted from November 1, 2022, to July 31, 2025 were enrolled. All patients underwent gut microbiota testing and received corresponding interventions on the basis of the results, followed by treatment with antiangiogenic agents combined with immunotherapy. Some patients additionally received probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation. The primary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess potential prognostic factors. Results Among the thirty patients, no complete response was observed. Two cases of partial response (PR), twelve cases of stable disease, and sixteen cases of progressive disease were recorded. The ORR was 6.7%, and the DCR was 46.7%. The median PFS was 6.4 months, and the median OS was 8.3 months. Both PR patients were classified as having a medium risk of gut microbiota dysbiosis and exhibited a Bacteroides-dominated enterotype. Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor type, liver metastasis, and bone metastasis were potential prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Conclusion Patients with a medium risk of gut dysbiosis may exhibit a relatively favorable response to immunotherapy, suggesting that gut microbiota status could serve as a potential biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy in advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors.

Objectives:To explore the impact of inositol-requiring enzyme 1(IRE1)signaling pathway on autophagy flux and cardiac function in mice with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury. Methods:H9c2 cells were divided into control group,IRE1 group,oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)group,OGD/R+IRE1 group,chloroquine group,IRE1+chloroquine group,OGD/R+IRE1+chloroquine group,OGD/R+chloroquine group,OGD group,OGD+chloroquine group,OGD+IRE1+RNAi X-box binding protein 1(si-XBP1)group and OGD+IRE1+XBP1 overexpression(XBP1-OE)group.Autophagy flux of cells in each group was evaluated by autophagy double-labeled adenovirus(Adv-RFP-GFP-LC3).The nuclear translocation of X-box binding protein 1(XBP1)was analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot.Adult male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into sham operation group,I/R group,IRE1 group and I/R+IRE1 group(n=8 each).Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography.Quantitative western blot analysis was used to detect protein expression of autophagy-related molecules. Results:(1)Compared with OGD/R group,the expression level of IRE1 protein was significantly upregulated(P<0.001),and the expressions of microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3B(LC3Ⅱ)and sequestosome 1(p62)proteins were significantly decreased in IRE1+OGD/R group(all P<0.05).Compared with OGD/R+chloroquine group,the expression of LC3Ⅱ and p62 protein was significantly increased in OGD/R+IRE1+chloroquine group(all P<0.05).Compared with control group,the fluorescence intensity ratio of IRE1 nucleus/cytoplasm was significantly increased in OGD/R group(P<0.001),and further increased in IRE1+OGD/R group(P<0.001).The level of XBP1 in the nuclear protein was significantly higher in IRE1+OGD/R group than in OGD/R group(P<0.01).Compared with OGD/R+IRE1 group,the yellow punctures was significantly decreased in OGD/R+IRE1+si-XBP1 group(P<0.01),and significantly increased in OGD/R+IRE1+XBP1-OE group(P<0.05).(2)Compared with Sham group,the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and fractional shortening(FS)were significantly decreased in I/R group(both P<0.05),LVEF and FS reduction could be partly reversed in I/R+IRE1 group.Compared with Sham group,the number of autophagic vacuoles and the expressions of IRE1,LC3Ⅱ and p62 were significantly increased in I/R group(P<0.05).The number of autophagic vacuoles and the expression of p62 were significantly downregulated(both P<0.05),and the expressions of IRE1 and LC3Ⅱ in myocardial tissue were further increased in I/R+IRE1 group as compared to the I/R group(all P<0.05). Conclusions:IRE1 restores the blocked autophagy flux induced by OGD/R and I/R by promoting the nuclear translocation of XBP1,and the recovery of autophagy flux is associated with cardiac function improvement post I/R injury in mice.
